三、2泊3日旅行の荷物選び！バッグとキャリーケースはどう選ぶ？

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 .

① 荷物の量で選ぶ

まず確認したいのが、実際に持っていく荷物の量です。

2泊3日なら、着替え、下着、洗面用品、充電器などが基本的な荷物になりますが、旅行の季節によっても必要な容量は変わります。

夏の旅行と冬の旅行では衣類のかさが違うため、同じ2泊3日でも必要な収納量は同じではありません。

また、靴やPC、カメラなどを持っていく場合も荷物は増えます。

② 移動方法で選ぶ

旅行中の移動方法も重要です。

電車や新幹線を利用する場合は、駅構内での移動や階段、混雑した車内などを想定してみましょう。

飛行機を利用する場合は、機内持ち込みをするのか、預け入れるのかによっても適したサイズが変わります。

一方、車でホテルまで移動する旅行なら、キャリーケースの持ち運びやすさをそれほど気にせず、収納力を優先しやすくなります。

③ 旅行先での行動を考える

旅行中にどのように過ごすかも、バッグとキャリーケースを選ぶ判断材料になります。

観光地を歩き回る時間が長く、階段や細い道を移動することが多いなら、身軽に動きやすいバッグが便利です。

反対に、ホテルを拠点に観光し、移動時だけ荷物を運ぶスタイルなら、キャリーケースを選びやすくなります。

④ 帰りに荷物が増えるか考える

旅行前は「これだけあれば十分」と思っていても、帰りにはお土産や購入品が増えることがあります。

特にお土産をたくさん買う予定があるなら、最初から収納スペースに少し余裕を持たせておくと安心です。

荷物が増える可能性まで考えて選ぶことで、帰りに無理やり荷物を詰め込む必要も減らせます。
