Im also going to JP this season for the first time ever.
Thinking board, binding and riding gear in the board bag, regular clothes in hard suitcase, boots and helmet in the carry on and travel essentials in a small backpack.
Probably overthinking it as usual.

If your board bag is large enough, unmount your bindings and strap your boots onto the bindings and keep them w/ your board bag. You can also cram a few pairs of socks into your boots to save space if you're limited.

The reason boots on your carry on is suggested is that, if the airline misplaces your checked bag and delivers it 3 days later, at least you can still grab a rental and shred in your own boots during that time.

I'll be honest, I don't always pack my boots in my carry on, but I definitely understand the reasoning, and it makes a ton of sense. I hate rental boots.

Truth. Everything is easily replaceable on short notice except boots.

I really roll the dice, lol, I always just check everything, and I fly standby on top of that, but my flight that I do a few times a year is also a direct flight as well. Did it last week with no issues...

I hope you're about to roll the dice on a trip to Japan or BC right now....
