First Time in Japan. Please Help Me Out!

Hi everyone! This will be my first time traveling to Japan, kyoto, nara, and osaka and I’ll be going on November 20.

I’m planning to just use the clothes I already have instead of buying new ones. Here’s what I found in my closet: satin silk long dresses, tube tops, a cotton romper, and a long fitted dress.

Here’s my plan:

• For all skirts and dresses, I’ll wear Heattech leggings or tights as a base layer.

• On top, I’ll wear the tube tops or dresses as they are, and I’ll buy a coat to layer over them.

Now my question is, would a puffer jacket be better, or will a thick coat be enough?
Also, do you think I can survive without a long-sleeve Heattech top if I have a thick coat or puffer jacket? Is it very cold there? Or should I just skip my current clothes and buy warmer ones instead? 😅 I’m really trying to save money for this trip.

I also plan to buy New Balance 530 or 740 sneakers on my first day in Japan since they’re cheaper there. Do you think that’s okay?

I booked my trip through a travel agency here in the Philippines. Everything is included except for lunch and dinner, and I have one free day, which I plan to spend at Universal Studios Japan. My hotel is near Namba Station.

Any tips or advice for my trip would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much! 💕
