Traveling to Hawaii is very popular with travelers from Japan due to its beautiful beaches, breathtaking nature, and relaxing island atmosphere. But traveling to Hawaii comes with one challenge: jet lag. The time difference between Japan and Hawaii is approximately 19 hours (Hawaii is 19 hours behind Japan), and this time difference can affect your health. Here, we will explain how to deal with jet lag when traveling from Japan to Hawaii.

Preparation in advance

  1. Pre-travel adjustments : Starting a few days before departure, try to gradually bring your bedtime and wake-up times closer to Hawaii time. For example, starting a week before your departure, you can gradually get used to the time difference by going to bed 30 minutes earlier each night and waking up earlier each night.

  2. Adequate rest : Long flights can be exhausting. Getting enough rest before you depart will help minimize fatigue during your trip.

  1. Hydration : It is important to drink plenty of water while on the plane. The dry cabin environment can lead to dehydration, which can worsen jet lag symptoms.

  2. Light exercise : Get up from your seat regularly, stretch, or take a short walk to improve blood flow and reduce fatigue.

After arriving in Hawaii

  1. Expose yourself to natural light : Once you arrive in Hawaii, try to get as much natural light as possible. Sunlight helps reset your body clock.

  2. Moderate activity : Once you arrive, try to do some moderate activity, such as a light walk or a short sightseeing tour. However, if you are tired, it is important to not push yourself too hard and get enough rest.

During your stay

  1. Regular life rhythm : While staying in Hawaii, try to maintain a regular life rhythm. In particular, it is recommended that you go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.

  2. Eating a nutritionally balanced diet : Eating a well-balanced diet helps keep you in good shape. Eat a healthy diet while enjoying Hawaii's fresh fruits and seafood.

After returning to Japan

Even after returning home, you may still be affected by jet lag. In the same way, try to gradually get used to Japanese time and get in shape without overdoing it.

As you can see, there are various ways to prevent jet lag when traveling to Hawaii, from preparation in advance to care after returning home. By taking advantage of these measures, you will be able to comfortably enjoy your wonderful trip to Hawaii. Enjoy a comfortable trip and fully enjoy the charm of Hawaii.
