Now that we are just a few days after a trip of his life, it is time to share a quick guide of my travel kit for Japan. From bags and accessories to my photography team for Japan, we will cover everything!
Ok, then the cat is out of the bag is not with the title. We go to a family vacation to Japan for two weeks and, honestly, I can’t wait! I know it is a bit different for a family with a small child, but children are adaptable and I love the fact that I am in a position to travel and show the world to my daughter. With the popularity of a certain Reddit post, I thought about addressing the blog directly to gather all the information in a complete guide of my travel kit for Japan.
This publication is written before the trip and, therefore, this publication is a reflection of my research and past experiences in which team I need, particularly in relation to photography. It may well be updated with a subsequent summary to the excursion below or create a completely new publication to share my experiences.
While I don’t want to immerse myself in the complete itinerary here, we are basically visiting three cities in Japan; Osaka> Kyoto> Tokyo. A great introduction to the country without exceeding our limits with Evelyn in tow. However, do not worry, we have made some fun additions specifically for Evelyn, including three days in Tokyo Disneyland and Disneysea!
Of course, there will be a lot of photography, some videography and research attempts for future blog posts that is exciting. However, I must remember that this is a family vacation and I cannot concentrate on photography, obviously!
So let’s immerse ourselves and talk about what I have decided as my full travel kit for Japan!
Travel kit for Japan
Bags / storage
First, we will focus on the bags that I am taking and storage instead for my photography team. We do not need to talk about suitcases, so this is just some backpacks/sinks. Nobody wants to know what suitcase use (some random bought from Alice Springs while making hutye if you are interested).
My main bag is the Bellroy Venture Ready Pack 26L that I received as part of a campaign in which I was lucky to work with Bellroy. He had previously used 2 Brevite backpack iterations that was specifically designed to transport photography equipment, so he was a bit discouraging that appeared with a way to convert a frankly exceptional backpack into a camera backpack.
The Bellroy Venture Ready Pack has many storage options that I really love, although I have not yet discovered the best way to use the entire space; We are talking about two mesh zip pockets on the internal front, a laptop computer (although it does not accompany me), fortunately), a sleeve of documents, a quick access pocket at the top of the bag and space for a bottle of water (I think there may even be more storage options, but I have not yet used it). However, what I am so happy is that the removable resistant camera bucket that came with the original Brevite camera backpack adapts perfectly to the Bellroy backpack. While there is no separate access to the camera bucket, the front panel almost completely unbuttoned that you should get quick access to my camera’s equipment as long as I put the backpack.
I have talked about Bellroy before in terms of what I love about them as a brand, but it is very clear that the products are designed by people who use these articles day by day; They have thought about everything and are so practical (in addition to being made sustainably). There is a hidden pocket for an Apple Airtag that does not fit my Smarttag2 galaxy, but I have managed to hide that in another way for greater security and tranquility.
To keep all my electronic and other accessories together, I have the Bellroy Tech kit. This really helps me to keep me organized! I worked with Bellroy to create a unique travel package where you can ask for the Bellroy Venture Ready package and the technology kit for a discount price.
In addition to a backpack, I will have the Bellroy Venture Sling 6L That fits a condensed version of my photography team; I hope to use this mainly to avoid carrying the backpack every day and every lens with me. However, I am not good with the lack of options, so I would miss the biggest lenses if I went to Sling just for the day. I have reviewed the sling in detail here, so I will not put everything here, apart from saying that it is essential for a light daily transport and getting things out of your pockets!
My wife will also have it Bellroy Venture Ready Sling 2.5L That she seems to use more than me! I will also roll and get into the Bellroy Lite Daypack If we need an additional backpack for some reason.
In addition to all that, we will have a backpack for the bits and bobs of the little one that we can push under the walking chair, it is not easy to travel with a small child, but is completely manageable with organized planning and maintenance. For parents, the stroller we use is Compact Zummi Eden Stroller Fern, since it folds super small and is relatively light!
Photography team
That is made of bags, now it is the fun part; My photography team. I have already covered what is in my camera bag several times, but as time passes, my photography style changes very slightly and it seems that I never stop adding glasses to my collection. Therefore, I will summarize the camera and the lenses in which I have decided for this trip to Japan:
Fujifilm X-T5 -A obvious choice, my reference body these days. Read my long -term review here.
Fujifilm 18 mm f/1.4 – This, combined with the Fujifilm 35 mm F/1.4, is my travel photography configuration that I feel covers almost all the bases. Daily life, street scenes, food, coffee, portraits and architecture, 18 mm f/1.4 does everything. It is so versatile. Read my review here.
Fujifilm 35 mm f/1.4 – My favorite lens and one without which I could never travel. Read my review a few years ago here.
Fujifilm 56 mm f/1.2 -I have seen so many YouTube videos now and I can see that the streets of Japan seem so suitable to be captured in the 85 mm full frame equivalent. Yes, the lens is a bit slow to concentrate, but it occurs wonderfully and will enter your own photos to capture at night thanks to the incredibly rapid opening of f/1.2. Read my long -term review here.
Fujifilm 18-55 mm F/2.8-4 -My backup zoom option for when I change the prime lenses is not an option. I still classify this lens as a very good lens for travel photography; He does the job better than most! Read my review here.
Fujifilm 50-140 mm F/2.8 – I think I regret taking this beast of a lens already. I was in two minds whether to take it or not, but after thoroughly checking the photos of Japan taken with this lens in Flickr, there were some incredible shots that really stood out and I could not achieve a similar appearance without this lens. It is the most acute lens that I have in my opinion and, although it is massive and weighs a ton, I look forward to a little compression in the streets of the Japanese city and, with everything crusade, I hope to capture Mount Fuji from the top of the skyscrapers in Tokyo. Read my first impressions here.
The lenses that I go at home – 16 mm 1.4, 23 mm 1.4 and 50 mm f/2. I could argue a case for each of them to come to Japan with me and 50 mm f/2 could easily replace 56 mm f/1.2 and 50-140 mm f/2.8.
Videography equipment
I am definitely a travel photographer, but recently I have been very interested in capturing more video and, therefore, there is no time as the present with a trip to Japan to try this. Therefore, I have gone with the most demanded video camera at this time: the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. I have the Creator combo, so it comes with a microphone, a small tripod and I have also added ND filters.
I will not write too much about this, but I have honestly impressed the ease of using the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. I have gathered all my initial thoughts here if you feel a reading.
ACCESSORIES
As you can see in the photo, I have enough accessories that I am taking with me! The EKI stamps book and the traveler notebook are two articles that I am really looking forward to using; Collecting seals in train stations and tourist attractions is a different way to create and capture memories. I will also try (I am not sure when haha!) My hand in the travel diary, probably more as a place to store and show things that I like to collect during trips such as stickers, maps, presentation cards of great stores, etc. Everything else then should be relatively self -explanatory!
EKI print book
Traveler portable
Sony WF-1000xm4 headphones
SD cards – 256GB X 2 (configured as RAW + JPEG) and 128 GB X 2 as support
Pico + Wrist Stroke Chamber Boot
Original sunglasses from tens’
ANBERNIC RG35XX PLUS
Anker Nano PowerBank 10,000m
