During the mandatory quarantine, you are not allowed to go out your room, while you can go grocery shopping during self-quarantine.
Meals and a bottle of water are provided 3 times a day. However, for some people, these foods may not be enough, or you may want some snacks.
Since you most likely won't have time to shop when you arrive in Japan, we recommend you to prepare for the mandatory quarantine (such as extra drinks, snacks, and food) before your departure.
For example,
①Instant noodles/food
For some people, the meal provided by the hotel may not be enough or to your taste. In this case, instant noodles/food can be a lifesaver.
②Snacks
This is the best option when you are feeling a little hungry. If you have a remote work during the mandatory quarantine, sweets like chocolate can boost your concentration and productivity!
③Coffee/Tea
You would feel stressed to stay in a small hotel room for 3 days not going out. Bringing your favorite coffee or tea can be a good idea and it helps you to relax.
*Important: Alcohol is not allowed during the mandatory quarantine.
