China people living in Japan have an experience that although the price in Japan is expensive, the tickets for tourist attractions are relatively cheap. And most tourist attractions in Japan are free. Even though some historical and cultural sites and world cultural heritage sites charge fees, compared with the income of the Japanese people, they are completely symbolic. Although Tokyo is rich in land, there are still many large free parks in the city center. About half of the imperial palace where the Japanese emperor lived was specially designated and opened to tourists free of charge as a park. The integration of mountains and seas is the keynote of many natural landscapes in Japan, which are basically free travel. For example, the Fuji Izu Hakone-machi National Park, which is composed of the world-famous Mount Fuji and its surrounding lakes and volcanic geological structures with white smoke, is free. Even Yakushima, Kagoshima Prefecture, which is included in the World Natural Heritage List, does not need to buy tickets. Although Japan basically implements the charging system for historical and cultural sites in the United States, the tickets are not too expensive. For example, tickets for Ryukyu Village, a world cultural heritage in Okinawa, cost 800 yen in peak season (100 yen is about RMB 8 yuan) and 640 yen in low season. There is no charge for the atomic bomb sites in Shirakawa Township, Gifu Prefecture and Hiroshima, which are also world cultural heritages. In addition, tickets for Kiyomizu Temple, Nijo Castle Temple, Kinkaku Temple in Kyoto, Tohoku Temple in Nara, Tang Zhaoti Temple, Peace Palace Site, and Nishikori Dongzhao are all between 300- 1000 yen. Tickets for other national cultural heritages in Japan are between 200 and 500 yen. For example, the ticket for the Japanese national treasure Kamakura Buddha is only 200 yen. Of course, the charges for modern commercial entertainment and leisure places such as Tokyo Disneyland and Nagasaki Hausdorf are much higher. Among them, the ticket to Tokyo Disneyland is the most expensive among all tourist attractions in Japan, and the pass for each adult is as high as 5,500 yen. In addition, exotic Hausdorf tickets are also above 3,000 yen. Although the admission fees of these artificial entertainment facilities are much higher than those of other scenic spots, compared with the average annual income of Japanese employees of 6 million yen, they are still less than 2% of the average monthly income of employees, and the fees are basically reasonable. Tickets for tourist attractions in Japan can basically be summarized as follows: parks and natural landscapes are basically free, historical and cultural heritage and cultural landscapes are charged symbolically, and commercial entertainment and leisure facilities are not charged at will. So, during the 10 years of living in Japan, basically, I didn't. I don't think tickets for tourist attractions are a big burden.
Can I travel to Japan by car?
China driver's license can't rent a car in Japan: Chinese mainland residents can rent a car and drive a motor vehicle in Japan, as long as they hold the original China driver's license, a notarized Japanese translation or a certificate certified by the embassy or consulate in Japan, and take written traffic regulations and road tests, provided that their stay in Japan does not exceed 3 months.
I wanted to say yes. My boss also drove in Japan during the Spring Festival this year, only to learn later that he was from Hong Kong.
You can drive your own car in Japan, no problem, but you need the original driver's license from China, a notarized American driver's license and a passport translated by the driver.
