Secret tools to include in your list of things to take on an overseas trip 1'Noican headphones' to minimize stress on long flights
Long hours are a fact of life on overseas trips. In order to make the most of your time once you arrive, you want to minimize fatigue and stress during the trip. Noise is a particularly common cause of stress during a flight. The noise level inside an airplane is generally said to be around 70 to 80 dB, which is considerably louder than the 40 to 50 dB that is considered less stressful in daily life. This is where headphones with a noise-canceling function should be utilized. If you choose headphones with excellent ability to handle low-frequency noise (e.g., engine noise), they will ensure quietness even on long flights and train journeys.
Sony wireless noise-canceling stereo headset WH-1000XM6/black, 59,400 yen (shopping consultation service, 050-3754-9555 ) Gentleman Projects shirts, 24,200 yen; pants, 19,800 yen (official website https://www. gentleman-projects.com/） Sunglasses by Julius Tart Optical 51,150 yen (Continué 03-3792-8978 ) Bracelet by Garni 110,000 yen, ring 23,100 yen (GARNI tokyo 03-3770-4554) J.M.

If you are looking to buy noise-canceling headphones now, I would recommend Sony’s WH-1000XM6 wireless noise-canceling stereo headset. It boasts the world’s best-in-class noise-canceling performance in the headband noise-canceling headphone market as of March 1, 2025, and has gained tremendous support from music consumers who are not willing to compromise on appearance or sound quality. In addition to the excellent sound quality, the headphones can be used all day long with up to 30 hours of playback (with noise cancellation turned on), and even feature an adaptive sound control function that automatically switches between noise cancellation and outside sound intake modes based on local activity patterns. It is not only suitable for daily use, but also has all the features that would be nice to have on a long flight.

Choose a model with a gusseted zip opening to make it easy to take out your items and to minimize stress when using the wallet.

Secret Tools to Include in Your List of Things to Bring When Traveling Abroad3
Bottled drinks are popular in many countries outside of Japan. It is not uncommon to buy a bottled drink at a supermarket or a stall, only to find yourself having a hard time drinking it because you did not have a bottle opener. One of our beer-loving editorial staff always carries a bottle opener integrated with a key chain, which is especially useful when traveling abroad.
↑Openers from BISON DESIGN are a favorite of the editorial staff. The company has developed bottle opener-shaped key chains in all kinds of iconic shapes, such as shotguns and palm trees.
When traveling abroad, where there is always something to pack, it is best to bring a keychain-type bottle opener. In fact, there are a wide variety of options to choose from, including a model with five functions: bottle opener, box cutter, screwdriver, bolt wrench, and ruler.
