any currency can be brought into Japan. However, if you are carrying more than 1 million yen, or checks or securities of the same value, you must declare to the customs.

foreign currencies can be converted into Japanese yen at foreign exchange banks or other legal foreign exchange cash exchange offices. At major international airports, there are also foreign exchange windows that provide currency exchange services for passengers. The exchange rate of RMB against Japanese yen is about 1: 14, but the exchange rate of foreign exchange changes with the fluctuation of foreign exchange market every day.

Traffic

In Japan, vehicles drive on the left, which is just the opposite of China. Visitors who are new to Japan should pay attention to the direction of vehicles when crossing the road.

In Japan, there are two kinds of subways: state-owned and private. Besides the national railway JR, there are many private railways. Every railway has multiple return tickets, travel tickets and so on. Vouchers have time limits and cannot be used universally. Mainly depends on the trip from Tokyo to Osaka with JR, or will you choose by private rail. It is better to buy a pass or buy it in Tokyo.

Consumption

Generally, you can't bargain when you consume in Japan, especially in department stores. It is a generally accepted rule to buy things at the marked price. If customers insist on bargaining, they may be given a cold shoulder. However, there is no habit of tipping in Japanese consumption, because all the service fees have been included in the bill, so customers don't have to reinvent the wheel.

Garbage

People go to a fixed place to collect garbage at a fixed time every week, and no littering is allowed at other times; Combustible and non-combustible materials should be placed separately; It is necessary to place the polluted garbage separately, such as batteries and spray cans; The size of garbage is limited by size; Garbage must be packed in designated plastic bags.

Prepare items

The weather in Japan is uncertain, so always keep an umbrella; Some medicines are necessary for traveling: if you have medicines that need to be taken for a long time, please take them with you; The medicines you should have in your bag include: Ganmaotong, Diyunning, Cismin, Berberine, Band-Aid, etc. It is difficult to eat on time during the trip. Because of the high local living index in Japan, it is best to bring some snacks so that you can have something to eat when you are hungry. If you go in spring, you'd better wear a mask. If it snows in winter, you should also bring sunglasses and a hat, and don't wear high heels. There are many hot springs in Japan, so you'd better use related supplies.

An accident (loss of passport, involvement in right and wrong)

If you are unfortunately involved in an accident or an incident or a case in Japan, please explain the situation to the reception unit or the tour guide immediately and take the following measures:

(1) Report the case to the nearest police station or police in time, seek police assistance, ask the police to issue necessary proof of loss, and contact the embassy or consulate in time;

(2) Go to the hospital in time, and please issue a diagnosis certificate;

(3) If you lose your passport, please contact the nearest Japanese embassy or consulate in China to apply for a travel document for returning to China. Ask the reception party to assist in reporting the loss of the visa to the nearest immigration bureau and ask it to reissue the visa or take corresponding measures;

(4) If you lose your credit card, contact the credit card issuer in time and ask it to stop the relevant credit card business;

(5) If you are detained or arrested, you should report to the police and inform the Japanese embassy or consulate in China. Our embassy or consulate in Japan will visit the detention center as appropriate, contact the relatives of the parties, and introduce appropriate lawyers according to the wishes of the parties.

Shopping in Japan

(1) Commodity tax: You can't pay directly in RMB or US dollars when shopping in Japan. Please change foreign currencies such as US dollars into Japanese yen in hotels or banks. In Japan, except duty-free shops, all purchases are subject to a 5% consumption tax. However, in some big shopping malls, when the shopping amount is more than 1, yen, the consumption tax can be refunded on the spot with a passport. At that time, it was not handled, and it could not be reissued later. (Whether the tax refund is granted or not needs to be confirmed with the mall).

(2) Bargaining: Generally, you can't bargain when you spend in Japan, especially in department stores. If you insist on bargaining, you may get a cold shoulder. But you don't have to tip.

(3) Suitable products: Small household appliances in Japanese duty-free shops are of very good quality and cheap prices. But pay attention to the voltage and system. (The voltage of Japanese appliances is 11 volts, that of China appliances is 22 volts, and the TV image display mode is Japanese NISS and China PAL). It is generous and affordable to bring some back as gifts to friends and relatives. It is uneconomical to buy small boutique toys, clothes and shoes, most of which are made in China, and they are surprisingly expensive. In addition, Japan's lithium batteries for film and cameras are also more expensive than those in China, so you can take more when you go abroad.

Most department stores and shops in Japan close at around 7: p.m. (only a few are open until 9: p.m.), so it is almost impossible to go shopping at night.

Common sense

(1) Description of staying in a Japanese hotel: A tatami room in a Japanese hotel is usually a room for four people, with a living room during the day and a bedroom at night. The hotel clerk prepares special bedding. Japanese-style hotels are equipped with slippers and bathrobes, and guests can change into bathrobes immediately after check-in, and go in and out of any place in the hotel. The way to wear a bathrobe is to put the left side on the right side.

(2) drinking water: tap water in Japan can be directly drunk, which is absolutely safe. You can drink it directly when you are thirsty.

(3) Hotel: Japanese hotels generally have toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, bath lotion, slippers, etc. In principle, Japanese hotels don't need to tip.
