i'm coming to japan next week for 2 weeks. are gloves highly recommended? shall i get them before i leave hawaii, or when i reach tokyo? i will have thermal undergarments, and layered clothing up top as well.

 

if you're coming from hawaii, you should bring some gloves, and a hat. my friend says its pretty cold there (she's there right now). Not quite freezing temps, but in your case, it'll probably feel that way.

 

whish island are you going?

 

all i know is i'm staying in Tokyo at the Park Hotel Tokyo.

 

Never mind...Tokyo! I would def bring some gloves and good winter socks

 

lol its like below 20 degrees around here in new england, I dont own a pair of gloves... I guess coming from Hawaii anything below 70 will be chilly for you. Anyways have fun during your stay, take some pics to share if you have time.

 

yea that might be the smart thing to do

 

and a scarf!!! thats probably the most imporantant thing!!

 

well, i just came back from japan yesterday. i didn't need any gloves, or a scarf. i didn't even use thermals. i just used knee high socks, ball huggers, and boxers under my jeans for my bottoms. i used an a shirt, and a tshirt undershirt under my shirts, and a leather jacket.

i must say, japan is pretty geez. i went pretty much everywhere except for fuji. it even snowed in tokyo pretty bad. i was supposed to come back to hawaii this past saturday, but came back yesterday due to cancelled flights, and idiot JAL employees.

Roppongi, Shinjuku, and Harajuku are proably my most favorite places. the Tokyo Auto Salon was awesome too, except for those f.ucking old pervert men.

 

^... hmmm... i one day want to go back there...
