Introduction

Summer in Japan can be extremely hot and humid. When that happens, you can always rely on Daiso, the 100-yen store you can find just about anywhere in the country. At Daiso, you can get convenient summer goods at reasonable prices and easily pick up whatever you need while traveling. Here, we introduce summer essentials especially recommended for families traveling with children, organized by category.

Cooling & Refreshing Items

First, let’s look at the must-haves to beat Japan’s intense summer heat.

Compact and foldable, and since it runs on batteries, you can use it right after purchase without worrying about charging. If you attach a strap, you can hang it around your neck, keeping your hands free. Amazingly, it costs just 300 yen!

This ring-type cooling item lowers your body temperature by wrapping around your neck. Since large blood vessels run through the neck, cooling this area is especially effective! It naturally refreezes below 28°C, so you can reuse it even without a freezer.

Traditional uchiwa fans are easy to carry when they fold down. With plenty of designs to choose from, they’re fun to pick out, and the Japanese-style patterns make great souvenirs too!

Spray on your clothes before heading out, and enjoy a cool sensation whenever the wind hits you. Recommended for parks or summer festivals.

Just hit them to activate the cold — these simple ice packs are also helpful for first aid if a child gets a bump or scrape. Since Daiso offers so many character designs, your kids are sure to find a favorite.

Wipe away sweat with these refreshing wipes that contain cooling ingredients. Keeping them in your bag is a lifesaver for hot outdoor days. They also help prevent heat rash, which children’s skin is prone to.

Stick them on the forehead or neck for heatstroke prevention. They’re also great for quick relief if your child gets a fever.

Outdoor & Leisure Support Items

Next up, let’s look at items that will help during summer leisure activities and outdoor adventures.

Protect your phone from pools, water sports, or sudden rain showers. You can get one with IP68-level waterproofing for just 100 yen — only in Japan! An essential for taking summer travel photos.

Stick-on repellents make bug protection easy before kids start fussing. Perfect for picnics or fireworks festivals, and available in cute character designs kids will love.

Sudden summer downpours are common, so keeping one on hand is smart. Daiso offers super-compact, palm-sized ponchos, which are especially helpful for family trips where you have lots of luggage.

Tiny to carry but expand into a proper towel when wet. You get eight in a pack even though they’re so compact. Great for water play, outdoor activities, or camping.

Sweat & Odor Care Items

Sweat and odor can be a big concern during summer trips. Here are some items to help:

Large body wipes with cooling ingredients that quickly refresh you when you feel like “I wish I could take a shower!” after getting up early for sightseeing. A quick and easy way to freshen up on the go.

Another on-the-go refresh item, but for your hair. These sheets help get rid of sweat and oiliness from your scalp and leave you feeling fresh until you can shower back at your hotel.
