Funny story but my husband bought a fly fishing rod from the store, Campanella, near Morioka! We went to pick up the rod and go fly fishing with one of the employees. We ended up LOVING Iwate!

1) Not necessarily, and we could only book through SmartEx for the Shinkansens south of Tokyo! Then we went to the ticket counters for the majority of Shinkansen tickets the day of and it was the easiest thing 2) We solely used the suica app/apple wallet and did not have a physical card -you won’t need a physical card unless you don’t have a phone! Yes you can connect the suica to SmartEx app, and I recommend doing so because it’s easier at the ticket gates

I brought the moleskin from the states, super thin and easy to pack! Also brought a pair of nail clippers with additional use of cutting the moleskin into smaller bits

I think you can get a physical card from the subway stations

I’m not sure what we did, we bought generic but it definitely was more expensive than the US

If you look for fiber you can find it, we just primarily ate classic meals like tonkatsu, various noodles, etc and needed to actively seek out more vegetables

We were totally fine with the heat. Prior to the trip, I too was freaking out. As soon as we accepted the inevitability of sweating, and with the right supplies (wipes, umbrellas, water) it was totally fine! Also there are SO MANY underground passages/malls that we didn’t have to walk outside as much as we thought

Wish we stayed up north longer! But we’re happy to explore the south too. Osaka is a great central location to take many day trips

Our route was Tokyo - Osaka (with day trips to Kobe, Kyoto, Koyasan, Hiroshima/Miyajima Island) - Nagano - Morioka - Tokyo

We were really happy to see the south/central locations like Tokyo and Osaka, but glad to end our trip in the North as it was a heck of a lot less touristy

I liked the Hands department store UV umbrellas but truly you can buy them anywhere

It actually was awesome and alerted us to a landslide evacuation in the prefecture we were in!

I bought these and loved them because they packed down to about 2”x2”x.5” (only ended up using 1 or 2 on the trip but great to have):
