Planning a trip to Japan this spring but stressing over what to pack (and how not to overpack)? I get it—it’s so easy to want to bring everything (and also have space for souvenirs)! With this packing list, you only need 15 pieces to put together comfy, polished, and minimal outfits that actually work for your trip. Think easy layers, versatile staples, and outfits you’ll feel good in from casual dinners and site-seeing (cherry blossoms, of course)!

Spring in Japan is all about effortless layering, comfort, and a clean, put-together look. A mix of relaxed and slightly structured pieces that you can layer easily as the weather changes will be the best to pack. So, skip the heavy, oversized layers and go for lighter, more versatile pieces that you can mix, match, and rewear throughout your trip.
I listed each product by what I own + recommend to similar styles.
