三、2泊3日旅行の荷物選び！選ぶ際のポイント

If you're going on a three-day, two-night trip, consider the following points when deciding whether to choose a bag or a suitcase.

1. Amount of luggage

If you are staying for 2 nights and 3 days, you will mainly need 2-3 sets of clothes, underwear, pajamas, toiletries, etc.

If you want to buy a lot of souvenirs, it's a good idea to choose a bag with a slightly larger capacity or bring a secondary bag with you.

2. Transportation

If you travel by train or bus a lot , a backpack or Boston bag that is easy to maneuver is convenient.

If you mainly travel by bullet train, plane, or car , a carry-on suitcase will be fine.

3. Purpose of the trip and clothing

If you are traveling on business and have clothes such as suits that you don't want to lose their shape, a carry-on suitcase is the best choice.

If you're just going to change into a yukata on a hot spring trip , a small bag will be sufficient .

4. The environment of the destination

If you are visiting tourist areas with lots of cobblestone streets or stations with many stairs , you may find a suitcase inconvenient .

It's a good idea to research the traffic conditions and terrain of your destination in advance.

5. Fatigue

If you want to avoid getting tired when traveling as much as possible , we definitely recommend a carry-on suitcase .

On the other hand, if you don't mind carrying a little bit of luggage , it might be a good idea to move around lightly with a bag .
