It's been awhile since I posted a packing list, the last being for at trip to Okinawa.

This time, it's a short four day, three night trip to beautiful Karuizawa. This is my third time to this beautiful mountain town. I actually cycled all the way from Tokyo the first time I visited, so I definitely have some fond memories.

So, as you would see, this isn't a minimalist packing list. I filled my 32l Nayo Almighty to the brim and packed whatever I thought I need. I was going to rent a car and leave my bag in it, so weight wasn't really a concern to me.

Without further ado, here is the obligatory all items laid out photo.

I will try to list up items in order but as you can see, I only wear black so which is which often gets confusing even for me. I'll also be reflecting on the usage of certain items.

Bags

Since I was taking videos most of the trip, I only used the Sling Pocket once, so I probably didn't need to bring it along in the first place.

Tops

Bottoms

I ended up not wearing the Futureworks at all.

Underwear

Accessories

Electronics/Photography Gear

I made a video of the sights I experienced around Karuizawa if you are interested.
