A. Travel laundry line like this It's twisted and you just shove your clothes through it without needing laundry clips
B. Concentrated biodegradable laundry soap, good for anywhere This one bottle lasted me 3 months backpacking this summer
C. Poof, clip it to the outside of your bag, doesn't get gross like a wash cloth
D. Personal towel Go ahead and buy the biggest one, takes up little to no space, can be used for damn near anything and will dry your clothes if you need it to.
E. These soap slips work great Fantastic for hostel showers ect. Shove that sucker deep in your poof and you're good to go.
These 5 items take up almost no room, weigh near nothing, and are concentrated to last a many month trip. Don't be that smelly hostel dude!
Edit: Laundry mats can be fun, it's a blast going with other foreigners to laundry mats where the directions aren't in english and it's all a crap shot. Actually met the roadies for an awesome band from a music festival we visited while at a laundry mat in Belgium. Hung out for the entire time we were washing clothes.
I asked for this for Christmas. It's braided so that you can stick the clothes in between the braids and the tension will hold it up. Beware of knockoffs.
This is basically what I have with these carabiners and you can see it rolled up in this picture.
I'm 5'11" (180 centimeters) tall and I had trouble with sleeve lengths and pants in general when I looked to buy clothing in Japan. The ratios are always just a little bit off, making me feel like a 12 year old with poorly fitting clothes all over again.
You may want to consider bringing extra SD cards for your camera. You could get smaller ones and mail the cards home full of pictures or just carry a larger backup for when you fill your first. If you don't offload your photos somewhere, I think you'll fill the camera pretty easily.
If you own a Nintendo DS (any model before they added the camera will not be region locked), you can get dictionaries for it in Japan.
A collapsing water bottle is very handy to have when traveling, as is an elastic clothesline. I have this one and it's very useful.
Pick up some nice pens and a pocket sized notebook when you arrive, they're my favorite way to work around communication difficulties.
Almost forgot! Make sure you look up the power converters you'll need. Japan is compatible with the US, but I don't know about England/Australia. When I visited Argentina I also needed a transformer to keep their 220v power from destroying our electronics.
Ditto all the flats/covers. Where I lived the first month of my baby's life didn't have a washer/dryer, just extremely limited laundry services. (They washed three (small) bags of laundry a day, had to get it there around 7am, if you weren't there before they took the third bag, tough cookies.) I partially cloth diapered while there and handwashed everything in the shower in a bucket and then dried on the outdoor stair's railing.
