Good luck charms for a Japan trip

My friend will go in a trip to Japan next spring.
 
She will visit Kyoto and Tokyo durling a cherry-blossom season. It's awesome !!
 
It's a one of the best season to visit Japan.
 
She asked me to make a lucky charm with a miniature origami for her trip.
I prepared three type of sign with Japanese words related to travel.
 
いってらっしゃい ; " Bon voyage ! " 
It's not exactly Bon voyage in Japanese because usually we Japanese don't say Bon voyage but when someone go away from home we often say this word with a kind feeling.
 
旅の恥は掻き捨て ; " Once over the border, one may do anything. "
When we Japanese do something embarassing during a trip, for example a boy goes to a bathroom for lady by mistakes, then we say this word to mean "a don't worry, it's nothing". 
 
一期一会 ; " Live every day as thought it were last"
The word is from a tea celemony and means  "for this time only," "never again," or "one chance in a lifetime."
so, we should enjoy this time. When we see a good person or nice view in our trip, we often say  this word with pleasure.
the front of the signs it's written in Japanese, the translation are behind them.
She choose " いってらっしゃい ” or " Bon voyage ! " for her trip finally.
Thanks.
