一、春旅の特徴と荷物量のポイント

Spring travel offers pleasant weather and is ideal for sightseeing, but it also tends to bring more luggage than usual .

When choosing a suitcase size, it's important to consider the items you'll need to pack specifically for spring.

・気温差に対応する衣類が必要

Even though it's warm during the day in spring, it can feel chilly in the mornings and evenings.

For this reason, many people bring not only T-shirts and shirts, but also light jackets and cardigans as outerwear, which tends to increase the amount of luggage you carry.

・天候の変化に備えるアイテム

The weather can change quickly in spring, so it's a good idea to bring a folding umbrella and a lightweight rain jacket in case of a sudden downpour. These items are also important when considering the capacity of your suitcase.

・お土産や観光グッズのスペース

Spring is a popular season for sightseeing trips, such as cherry blossom viewing and hot spring getaways.

Since you'll likely be buying souvenirs while traveling, it's a good idea to choose a suitcase with a little extra capacity for peace of mind.
