We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Higashinaruko Onsen in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Higashinaruko Onsen a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
