No, Indian passport holders usually need a visa for Japan, though a short-stay tourist eVisa is available for eligible residents in India. Japan is high on many travel wish lists, and this question comes up a lot before flights, hotel bookings, and itinerary planning start. If you hold an ordinary Indian passport, the plain answer

Yes, a portable charger can fly in your cabin bag on most international trips, but it should not go in checked luggage. Power banks cause more airport confusion than almost any other travel item.

Many governments now let you check where your passport stands, whether it has been received, reviewed, printed,

Yes, a hard drive can go in carry-on or checked bags, though carry-on is the safer pick for data, battery rules, and rough handling. A hard drive is allowed on a plane in most cases. That’s the plain answer. The better answer is that where you pack it matters a lot, because a hard drive

Yes, most airlines let you bring two phones on a flight, as long as they’re packed safely and ready for screening if asked. Carrying two mobiles on a plane is normal. Plenty of travelers do it every day: one work phone, one personal phone, or one main device plus a backup. In most cases, airport
