Japan's free travel strategy 2020

Japan is a country full of creativity and traditional culture. A highly developed economy makes people rich and pays more attention to their own quality of life. Many impressive pictures and scenes can be deeply rooted in people's hearts. Traveling in Japan is a real treat. Here are some detailed strategies for you.

Prepare a visa:

I found my visa in a treasure travel agency. I made a round trip. This is the simplest. I don't need proof of funds. I just graduated and have no job.

Just provide:

Original passport, two color photos with a white background (4.5X4.5 photos with your own name on the back), photocopies of each page of the household registration book, Japanese application form, and financial proof (the bank running record of either parent for half a year, the balance is more than 1 10,000 yuan). All you have to do is to prepare it and mail it. A visa only costs 288 RMB, and it will be ready in five days. The small customer service of the travel agency is very responsible, as long as

Customs declaration form:

It is usually sent on the plane, mainly to fill in.

Name (capital pinyin)

Flight number and departure place

Date of entry, name, address and nationality of Japanese hotels.

Entry information form

There are no photos on the round-trip visa.

Buy a Japanese local calling card on Taobao (only one 4G network card for 7 days, 14G, no phone calls, the price is 44.5 yuan+subway transportation card (I bought 72 hours, and I can sit freely for three days, the price is/kloc-0.05 yuan, except JR subway line, which is a private railway line, so I took this line when I went to Disney)+transportation. First of all, I charged 2000 yen, so I can use it to take the JR line. Watermelon cards can also be used in some convenience stores or buses. The green one is the watermelon card, and the yellow one is the 72-hour subway card.

transportation card

Type: watermelon card, ICOCA pasomo.

The difference: if you come back from Tokyo, buy a watermelon card, if you come back from Osaka, buy ICOCA.

Scope of application: subway, tram, bus, convenience store and vending machine.

Unavailable scope: Shinkansen, airport bus, _ _

Place of purchase: a treasure, Japan airport, any JR station.

Recharge: Look for ticket vending machines and convenience stores at subway stations and JR stations.

Purchase price: No matter how much money is charged, there is a deposit of 500.

Transportation card ticket (Tokyo subway ticket): it is a one-day, two-day and three-day ticket, and basically all the scenic spots in Tokyo can be reached (JR is not allowed).

Remember not to take a taxi in Japan because it's too expensive. Three or four kilometers is more than RMB 100. You can find the ground connection with Japan in a treasure. Probably need RMB 370 yuan. We chose a seven-seat suv, booked a hotel (Ctrip reservation) and chose two hotels to stay.

HotelFeliceAkasaka stayed for five days (the room was small, the decoration was new and the photos were beautiful), and the price was about 1500 RMB per night.

ParkHotelTokyo stayed for a day (the room is much larger, the scenery is beautiful, and you can directly see the Tokyo Tower, which is an excellent photo resort). The price is about 2000 yuan per night.

Parents who want to take a kimono can book a photographer in advance and go to Asakusa to take a beautiful kimono. We found a local photographer in the raiders of Little Red Book. We must find her, a photographer who will not let you down.

attract

Sensoji Temple: A temple frequented by Japanese natives. You can rent kimonos by waving a sign.

Mount Omotesando Hills: a gathering place for luxury goods.

Ginza: the gathering place of top brands and high-end shopping malls in the world, and one of the three bustling shopping streets in the world.

Harajuku: the representative of street culture in Tokyo

Akihabara: an anime paradise for otaku. There are specialty shops on the street. There is an oversized 6-layer bic, and the electrical equipment is cost-effective.

Shinjuku: Tokyo shopping district+red light district, brightly lit every night.

Detailed process of free travel in Japan

1, decide the travel time and city.

Generally speaking, going to Japan for 5- 10 days is very suitable. Unless the holiday is long enough, it is not recommended to go to too many cities across regions, and time is wasted on the road. Spring and autumn are recommended, and the temperature is suitable. It would be great if we could catch up with the cherry blossom season and maple leaf season. Although the air tickets in the peak season are a little expensive, they are really worth the money.

Step 2 apply for a visa

Daily signing does not accept individual applications, you can find a local travel agency or a reliable shop ~ the single signing is valid for three months, and the sooner you do it, the better, provided that it will not expire. Don't worry yourself. If your information is better, you can also sign it directly for three years.

Step 3 buy a plane ticket

It is recommended to buy air tickets after the visa comes down ~ friends who are determined to buy special air tickets should be diligent. In addition to where Ctrip goes to fly pigs, we should also pay more attention to the special ticket apps such as poor travel, member days and discount promotions of major airlines. However, if you travel in the peak season, you can hardly buy special fares. You can consider low-cost airlines such as Spring and Autumn, which are relatively cheaper.

Step 4 book a room

Accommodation is rich and frugal, remember that convenient transportation is king, and the earlier you book, the better. I recommend staying in a hotel in Japan, which is relatively cheap. You can also choose the landlord in China to communicate at any time. Please refer to the hotel article for details.

5. Travel insurance

It's best to have more protection when you go out. Besides, short-term insurance is only a few dollars a day. They are usually bought at Alipay. Choose one that covers the whole range, especially including travel delays and cancellations.

Step 6 surf the internet

You can choose to rent wifi/ buy a calling card/open international roaming. Recommend the first two, the price is cheaper. It only takes about 10 yuan a day.

7. change yen into cash

It is suggested that each person prepare 3-5 thousand yen every day, if the rest can be spent at the airport before returning home. Usually use as little cash as possible, because the exchange rate is generally: Alipay is better than WeChat, and credit cards are better than cash.

8. Bank card

Get a UnionPay card and a visa or master or JCB ready. Where you can use UnionPay cards, try to use UnionPay cards. There is no currency exchange fee. In addition, in addition to credit cards, it is best to bring a debit card. If you need to withdraw cash overseas, it is more cost-effective.

9, all kinds of documents

Bring your passport and ID card, and then prepare an electronic version and a copy for emergencies ~ Keep a copy of the ticket confirmation, hotel travel itinerary and travel insurance policy in your mobile phone.

10, download the travel app

Including transportation, translation, strategy, weather, shopping vouchers, parks and so on.

1 1, transportation card voucher

Necessary watermelon /ICOCA cards, other travel tickets, etc. See the specific itinerary.

12, route strategy

Just make a simple route guide before going out. Too complicated a guide is a burden and a constraint! The main route has been decided, and others will be adjusted while playing. This is the fun of free travel.
