Japan's self-help tour introduces Japan's free travel.

I don't know the font. I don't know whether you plan to travel to Japan, so I can only give you a general introduction.

Japan consists of four big islands: Hokkaido, the main island, Shikoku and Kyushu.

Which island in China did you leave from?

If it's completely free, here's my route.

Shanghai-Kyushu (Fukuoka) eats Lamian Noodles and watches the sea 1-2 days.

Kyushu-main island (Osaka or Kobe Kyoto) for 3-4 days.

Osaka is equivalent to the economy of Shanghai and the United States, with many department stores. Besides, USJ and Kitty Park can play without any natural scenery.

The local TAKOYAKI (squid ball) is very famous.

Kobe, equivalent to Qingdao, Tianjin and Dalian, was built after the earthquake. There are many European elements. You can go to the artificial museum in Akashi Strait (I went there at night and studied there).

Kobe is famous for its beef and red wine. Beef is very expensive.

Kyoto, equivalent to Xi in China, was an early Japanese political center. You can go to the local Jinge Temple, Yinta Temple and Yixiuge to soak in hot springs.

Local specialty soup, tofu, all kinds of Japanese sweets.

(Osaka Kobe Kyoto) all belong to West Japan.

Japan moves from the west to the middle, which is the geographical center of Japan. There is a city in Nagoya called Nagoya City, which should be visited.

The local fried shrimp is very famous.

Take the Shinkansen from Nagoya, Japan to Tokyo. Focused light

I won, not to mention Tokyo, which is of the same nature as Beijing. You can go sightseeing and buy things, but you can do JR from Tokyo and play in Yokohama.

Nuclear energy will not be developed under Tang and Tokyo for the time being.

I won't say anything, because I'm getting off work.

1. Japanese Raiders Free Travel

There are no cities in China at present.

Including Beijing and Shanghai.

You can travel to Japan unconditionally.

You need higher proof of income to handle it.

Only Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan can travel freely to Japan.

If you get a visa to Japan.

All Japanese cities are open to visitors who land in Japan free of charge.

2. Go to Japan for a self-help tour

I. Preparation and Basic Information (1) Visa to Japan Individuals do not apply for short-term visas. They are all handled by travel agencies or Ctrip. The cost is 600- 1000 yuan, and the intermediary will definitely tell you the materials you need in detail. Japan does not need a face-to-face visa, but it needs some materials to prove its economic strength: income certificate, deposit certificate, real estate license, car driving license and so on. There are also air tickets and hotel orders! And it is said that the unpaid order issued by Ctrip is not that I no longer work. But travel agencies usually forge airline tickets and hotel orders for you. It usually takes 7 working days to submit the finishing materials.

(2) Time difference Tokyo is faster than Beijing time 1 hour, Beijing time 10o Tokyo time 1 1 point. The plane takes off and arrives at local time ~

(3) The basic exchange rate of foreign exchange is 12 yuan, 50- 100 yuan for 8 yuan, 40 yuan for cigarettes and 50 yuan for taxis. There are not many places where you can swipe your card. It is recommended to bring more cash and change it at China Bank in advance. Don't wait for Japan to change it. You need to make an appointment to exchange Japanese yen at the Bank of China. On the third day of the appointment, you can change your personal ID card into Japanese yen. You can go online first or call customer service 9566 to inquire about the telephone number of the business hall of China Bank nearby, and make an appointment to the business hall, thus saving two trips. At present, the RMB exchange rate is rising, so it is more appropriate to wait until 1-2 days. The recommended order of using credit cards in Japan is JCB UnionPay VISAMASTER, and the conversion rate of MASTER is higher than VISA. Before going to Japan, you can go to official website of these credit card institutions to inquire about local preferential activities. If you already have a CMB credit card, you can call customer service directly, get a hellokittyJCB card and use an account with the original card. The advantage is fast, the card number can be confirmed in 2 days, and it will be delivered by express delivery in 20 yuan in 3 days. It seems that you can also get a JCB card from China Bank. There are many Japanese coins, the largest of which is 500 yuan. Take a coin purse and prepare endless coins.

(3) Only 3GWCDMA mobile phones can be used for communication in Japan. 1) International roaming of mobile phones: international roaming of mobile phones is enabled, and you can call and send text messages in an emergency. China mobile users can send KTDQGM directly to 10086 to automatically start international roaming. The SMS is valid for 30 days, and will be automatically cancelled after 30 days, provided that the mobile phone has been registered in real-name registration system and prepaid in 200 yuan. Turn off the GPRS function before going abroad, because the international roaming cost of data services is so high that everyone can afford it. It is not safe to turn off data with mobile phone, because some software will automatically turn on data service. It is best to shut it down through the operator, and China mobile users can send short messages to ZTSJLL. So how do you surf the Internet in Japan? There are three ways. 2) Cherry Blossom Card is the 3G network card of China Unicom Japan Softbank. Zhou Ka traffic is 3G, valid for 7 days or one month. Starting from the time when you activated in Japan, connect the Softbank 3G network between Japan and the United States (similar to China Unicom 3G, and limited to the Softbank network in Japan, so you are not afraid to activate it by mistake before going to Japan). When the traffic runs out or the time is up, you will end using it. This card is a disposable international data roaming network card, and there is no charge. It doesn't have the function of sending short messages and making phone calls, but it can accept short messages. You can buy it on Taobao in advance. The price in Zhou Ka is 135 yuan, and the monthly card is 208 yuan. As long as it is a mobile phone, tablet or 3G-wifi router that supports WCDMA. 3) Japan's b-mobile card is a mobile phone network card issued by Japan Telecom Co., Ltd., and China people generally use one card in the form of relay. If you want to buy a B card on Taobao, you need to tell them your specific use time in advance, and they will help you activate it here. You can send the card back to your next home after use. By the day, the price offered by Taobao sellers is about 10 200 yuan, but only mobile phones/tablets/routers supporting WCDMA can be used, and custom machine and contract machines of domestic operators can be used or not! It is because the iphone4S in my hand is recharged in Unicom that I don't want to use the B card, but the Sakura card. 4) You can also rent a portable wireless router at the airport, which is also available on Taobao. It uses rechargeable batteries and costs 800 yen (50 yuan RMB) every day. The price is still relatively expensive ~ I stayed in Japan 1 1 day, bought a cherry blossom monthly card and put it as a hot spot in Iphone4S, so that other mobile phones, IPAD and notebooks can surf the Internet. The network coverage is good, and I feel that the network speed is ok. Many hotels in Japan have free wired Internet access, but wifi is charged, so I often use my mobile phone to surf the Internet when I arrive at the hotel.

(d) Maps and navigation paper maps are easily available in Japan. As long as you pay attention to the airport, the main station, every scenic spot and the tourist service center will provide it. Electronic maps are mainly used when making raiders. I think the mobile phone is only suitable for navigation, not for reading maps, because the screen is too small, and you forget the whole after reading part of it! It is best to read a paper map or a map on the IPAD when traveling. Recommend Google Maps, an indispensable tool for free travel in Japan. Great Google Maps also has the function of bus route design. Combined with the rigor and punctuality of the Japanese public transport system, it is simply stupid! You enter the start and end points, set the departure time, and it will give a detailed bus route, clearly indicating each line you want to take, the direction of the bus, the transfer station, the departure and arrival time of each middle section, the platform number and the duration. You can also set preferences for subway, bus, taxi and walking. You can try it at home, and the test results will greatly ease your anxiety about the complicated traffic routes in Tokyo and greatly enhance your confidence in traveling! When I tested in Beijing, I found that every time I took the bus, it was more than an hour later than the departure time. I thought for a while before I realized that this even took into account the time difference between Beijing and Tokyo! There is also the bus route design of Google Maps, whose main function is to help me simulate the route, get familiar with the main lines and stations of Tokyo subway, and evaluate the travel time before going out. When I actually travel, I can plan which route to take and where to change trains by looking at the map of Tokyo subway. I don't-I don't have to worry too much about the train time, so I'll just take the bus when I come. My own experience is that the signs of every station in Tokyo are very clear, and the lines and station names are digital. As long as you know which line to take and which direction to go, you can definitely find it by following the instructions. It is difficult to find which exit after arriving at the station, because there are too many exits at the station. You need to check or check the station's instructions about the exit in advance. The most difficult thing is how to get to the destination after export, because there are few street signs in Japan, unlike many countries and cities, which set up a street sign at the intersection to explain the name of the road. I rarely see this kind of road sign in Japan, and although there will be a map sign near the exit of Tokyo station, this kind of map does not go up and down at all. You should pay special attention to the direction on the map, so all this is often annoying, especially minutes. At this time, the navigation function of Google Maps is absolutely necessary, and the way out of the station basically depends on it! Facts have proved that the navigation function of Google Maps is also very easy to use. We are full of Japanese place names and scenic spots in Chinese, and the place names marked on Google Maps are also in Chinese, but the bus routes and station names given by Google Maps are all in Japanese Roman characters (transliteration by pronunciation, such as Ginza). Many maps and signs we get in Japan are often in Japanese (that is, strange words, which may be mixed with Chinese or traditional). A good way is to add traditional Chinese and Japanese input methods to mobile phones and IPAD (set up a general keyboard to add a new keyboard, and then select traditional Chinese Pinyin, Japanese Roman and Japanese Kana). When using Google Maps to locate and enter addresses, it is best to use traditional Chinese. Google will give you some more specific address tips for you to choose from; The name of the transit station given by Google is Roman, such as Ginza. If you don't know where it is, you can pretend to edit a short message in your mobile phone and enter Ginza in Japanese input mode. You will find that the character string you entered magically becomes Ginza ~ I feel that it is impossible for most people in China to remember Japanese. Although you can guess a lot from Chinese characters in Japanese, you should write down the English names of hotels, scenic spots and addresses when making the strategy.

When positioning with Google, you can generally use traditional Chinese characters (simplified Chinese is often not good, traditional Chinese is better) or English. In rare cases, you must enter Japanese hiragana or katakana. Google, trustworthy!

(5) Post The official color of Japan Post is red, and the letterhead format of postcards is-there is a stamp in the upper left corner and a postal code in the upper right corner, which is just the opposite of ours). The postage is 50 yen in Japan, and the unified price for sending from Japan to foreign countries is 70 yen. Friends who like seals can bring a small notebook. JR station and scenic spots are covered with medals.

(6) Accommodation can be booked on Ctrip, but if you want to experience Japanese hotels, there is no such classified search on Ctrip. You can book on agoda or booking. The room rates of two people are basically above 600 yuan. Hotels in Japan are so small that there may not even be room to open a big suitcase. Toilets are mostly capsule-shaped, but their functions are perfect. Slippers, bath towels, hair dryers and toiletries are all available. They are of good quality. You don't need to bring your own. The Japanese power supply has two parallel holes, 1 10V. The cameras, mobile phones and ipad we use now can adapt themselves, that is, notebooks are generally three holes and need 3-2 converters. S more convenient to bring one. Hotels generally provide ~ Japanese hotels stipulate that the check-out time is relatively early, usually 10 am or 1 1 am, and the check-in time is often after 3 pm or even 4 pm. For guests, it takes time to register. When traveling in different cities, it is best to check out in the morning and then take your luggage directly to the station. At the next stop, go to the hotel and put down your luggage. But if you want to play until the evening, don't drag your luggage to play, you can choose to leave your luggage at the hotel. The advantage is free, but the disadvantage is that it takes time to get to and from the hotel, which may cost more transportation. You can also choose to leave your luggage at the station. The disadvantage is that it costs money, and the advantage is that it saves time. There are coin-operated luggage storage places in the larger stations in Japan and the United States, and the price varies according to the size of the cabinets. The cost is roughly 300-500 yen. I think the biggest suitcase can fit in the biggest suitcase, but if it is too thick, it may not fit in. All major railway stations have luggage storage rooms, with manual service, and charge according to the number of bags. A piece of luggage costs about 400 yen, but the service time is often not 7*24 hours, so you need to pay a little attention.

(7) Special gourmet meals: Shi Huai cuisine (Kyoto), Kobe beef (Kobe) and crab banquet (Osaka) are cheap and fast: Lamian Noodles, S, Yoshinoya, railway lunch, rice balls, preserved eggs and pudding in McDonald's convenience store (very delicious! ) Flavor food: humanoid roast (Sensoji Temple), paella and sushi (Tsukiji and everywhere), octopus roast, matcha,

Two. Transportation (1)JRPASS is a sharp weapon for free travel in Japan, which can only be used by short-term foreign tourists. You can take all the free seats and designated seats of JR Railway, that is, Shinkansen (except Nogo, Shinkansen Hope and Mizuho, you can't take the green car, that is, first-class seats), the urban lines of JR Bus Company and some JR Expressway buses. If you want to go to so many places in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, JRPASS is obviously cost-effective. It is actually worthwhile to travel between Tokyo and Osaka using the JRPASS Shinkansen. The one-way fare from Tokyo to Osaka Shinkansen is13,240 yen, and the 7-day pass of Japan Railway is 28,300 yen (RMB exchange rate rose, and I only spent 1640 yuan in July). Some people say that if you enter from Tokyo, leave Osaka or vice versa, JRPASS is unnecessary. You can calculate the account yourself. The daily average fare of JR Pass is 240 yuan, while the single-day bus tickets in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto are only 30-60 yuan, and the tickets from Tokyo and Osaka to nearby Kyoto, Nara, Kobe and Nagoya are only 50-60 yuan, so using JR in the city is a bit overqualified. Of course not. If you are on the road, you can use it. JRPASS is not available in Japan, so you must buy it in advance in China. What I bought in China is only a certificate (Taobao has it, and I need my name pinyin and gender when I buy it). You can use it by changing your passport into a card at major JR stations in Japan. Taobao sellers will also attach a list of stations that can be changed. JR pass can be redeemed at JR ticketing center on floor B 1 of building 2 of narita airport (please pay attention to floor B 1 when picking up luggage). JRPASS has a corresponding passage at the entrance and exit of each JR station. You can go through it after a sign. JR pass can be divided into national universal coupons, east-west coupons and so on. According to the use area. The use date of the national universal coupon is divided into 7 days, 14 days and 2 1 day, and the JR in each city is not so convenient. If the trip is not seven days, you need to buy extra tickets for the remaining days (it is not recommended to buy 14 ticket, which is much more expensive than ticket No.7, and no one will always run long distances), so you don't use JR pass for a few days when you are not in Tokyo. Use the SuicaNEX package on the first and last day, mainly to and from Narita Airport, and use the Tokyo Metro two-day ticket on the second and third days, saving days and making it convenient for you to use PASS during the 7-day long-distance trip and when you return to Tokyo from Osaka. When you take the Shinkansen express train with a JR pass, you can reserve a seat at the ticket window or T, and you can take a free seat without reservation. Generally, there are several empty seats on each train. There is no designated seat, but the designated seat should be seated accordingly. I think it's better to sit in this empty seat while I'm away. I have luggage. And there is still a little space behind the last row of seats in the independent car. You can put this big box there, so you won't I don't need to walk around, and. S convenient to look after them.

: 3. Go to Japan to play Raiders

1. First, you need to prepare a travel passport. A Japanese visa requires proof of income of about 50,000 yuan. You need to prepare enough cash (yen). Most Japanese restaurants only accept cash. Cash can be exchanged at home or through UnionPay. I want to exchange it with an American savings card in Japan. It is very convenient to exchange yen in Japan. 7- 1 1 There are ATMs in the supermarket. 3. Ctrip rented a Japanese WIFI. It is useful to leave a tax refund receipt when shopping and appear in the camera. 5. Good izakaya and Japanese cuisine needs to be booked in advance. 6. Download a Google app to navigate the destination. Taxis in Japan are very expensive, and the subway is super developed. The subway is convenient, and Japanese and Chinese are similar. Also make a rough guess.

4. Raiders Japan's self-help tour route

Ameba is a famous Japanese blog and social networking site in Japan. Amebapigg is a web game for making friends in the community. In the game, you can set up your own house layout, visit other friends, go shopping and so on. LINE is the most popular instant messaging social software in Japan and one of the top ten social apps in the world, with 675 million registered users and 265,438+08 million monthly active users. Distributed in more than 230 countries, using 19 languages; The utilization rate of Line is 75. 1%, ranking first in the utilization rate of social applications in Japan;

5. Software for self-help tour in Japan.

Japan is not a cheap tourist destination. I'll give you some budget. Per capita 1W, about 10- 15 days. I hope it helps you.

Visa 400 yuan

Air tickets often go back and forth to 800 yuan, but they need to go in and out from Hongkong. Generally speaking, 2500 yuan round trip is normal.

The cheapest capsule hotel is 300 yuan 100- one bed, but if there are many people, the hotel is more affordable. 500-3 or 4 people in 800 yuan can stay, and each person in 200 yuan can stay for one day.

Traffic should be the most expensive. The traffic in Japan is really expensive! If you want to go far and save money, it is recommended to buy JR passes from all over the country. 7-day unlimited JR ride is about 2500 yuan per person. You can travel from Tokyo to Hokkaido for a week and then return to Tokyo from the northeast. You also need to prepare a watermelon card (prepaid transportation card), which is very convenient. If you don't finish, continue to go to Kansai. It is estimated that the average person is 3000 yuan.
