What is the cheapest way for students to go to Japan?

What I want to say is: take a cruise!

First, let’s count the benefits of taking a cruise. First of all, taking a cruise to Japan is visa-free, which avoids many materials and visa fees required for a daily visa. Secondly, the price is cheap. There are cruises to Japan from many domestic cities. The cost is more than 2,000 yuan, or even more than 1,000 yuan in the off-season. It covers transportation to and from Japan, several nights of accommodation on board, and various free restaurants on the cruise. Some cruise lines also have Shore excursions included. Cruise travel can save you the trouble of traveling by boat. The itinerary usually involves arriving at the port during the day, leaving the port in the evening, and living on the cruise ship the entire time. Even if you sail on the high seas all day long, life on a cruise ship is not lonely. There are usually theaters and shopping venues on cruise ships. Below I will introduce some common cruise routes to Japan in various domestic ports.

Xiamen - Okinawa

Cruise ships from Xiamen Port to Japan take the route of Okinawa and Miyako Island. Okinawa is known as "Japan's Hawaii" and is the first choice for Japanese summer vacations. There are usually two routes from Xiamen Port to Okinawa, one is a 5-day and 4-night route that goes to both Okinawa and Miyako Island, and the price is over 3,000; the other is a 4-day, 3-night route that only goes to Miyako Island, and the price is Slightly cheaper.

Tianjin - Fukuoka, Nagasaki,

Cruise ships departing from Tianjin and Shanghai ports mainly take the routes of Nagasaki, Fukuoka and Yokohama. Most of them are 5 days and 4 nights, and the price is between More than 2,000, and the price is more than 1,000 in the off-season. Fukuoka is a destination for foodies, with a wide variety of fresh seafood. Nagasaki is a place with great history. It was the second city in the world to be destroyed by an atomic bomb after Hiroshima.

Shanghai - Naha, Kumamoto, Kobe, etc.

There are many routes from Shanghai Port to different Japanese port cities, and the prices are also different. The cheaper ones include trips to Kagoshima and Naha, which cost more than 1,000. Kagoshima is located at the southernmost tip of Kyushu and has many characteristic islands including Yakushima, a World Natural Heritage Site. Naha is the capital of Okinawa. There are also cruise ships from Shanghai to Fukuoka and Nagasaki, and the price is about the same as departing from Tianjin Port. The price is more than 2,000 yuan, and the price in the off-season is more than 1,000 yuan. There are some high-end cruise lines departing from the Shanghai port to Japanese port cities that are not often visited by cruise ships, such as Kobe, which has the best beef in the world, Kumamoto, the base camp of Kumamon, and Kochi, which is rich in seafood. The price is more than 3,000. many.

Qingdao - Xiaguan

Most of the cruise ships from Qingdao to Japan go to Xiaguan. Shimonoseki is a city below the mountain pass. The city is surrounded by the sea on three sides. Here you can eat the most authentic pufferfish cuisine in Japan. The toughness and umami flavor of the pufferfish will linger on your tongue for a long time. There are not many cruise ships from Qingdao to Xiaguan, and the price is relatively cheap, usually more than 1,000 yuan.
