what to wear Travel Guides

Brighton beach is shingle, not sand, and that changes what you carry. Build around shoes that handle pebbles and cobblestones, a sit-on mat, a wind layer, and knitwear for the moment the sun goes in.

January is Hakone's coldest month, and the gap between heated transport and cold outdoor stops shapes what you pack. Plan for a warm coat, hat, scarf, gloves, waterproof shoes with grip, and layers you can add or shed as you move between Hakone-Yumoto, Sengokuhara, and Lake Ashi.
