Moving to a new country always comes with a mix of excitement and uncertainty. For Japanese professionals or families planning to live in Hanoi,

Vietnam, here’s a helpful checklist of what to prepare before your move — from daily life tips to cultural insights.

🧳 1. Basic daily necessities

While Hanoi has many international shops, it is best to bring some Japan – specific items:

• Personal medicines
• Toiletries (face wash, toothpaste, )
• Japanese cooking ingredients (miso, seasoning packs)
• Voltage converter (Vietnam uses 220V)

🌐 2. Digital tools & apps

Install these essential apps before arrival:

Grab (transportation)

Google Maps

LINE or Zalo (messaging)

Google Translate for quick Vietnamese reading

🏨 3. Choose accommodation with Japanese support

Living long-term is easier when your residence offers Japanese-speaking staff, shuttle buses, and facilities like gym, onsen, and in-house dining.

🔑 At Roygent Parks Hanoi, we support Japanese guests from check-in to daily life.

📘 4. Understand local culture & etiquette

Vietnamese people are friendly and respectful. It helps to:

• Learn a few simple Vietnamese greetings
• Be aware of traffic & pedestrian rules
• Adapt gradually to local mealtimes and flavors

✈ 5. Visa & health documents

Before arrival:
