Where can I see photos taken by others when they travel to Japan?

It may not be comprehensive, but it is definitely much better than what you found online.

Well, before it's too late, let's get started.

1, yen exchange rate

Before you go to Japan, you must make a lot of preparations ... you must also have a lot of questions. The travel agency will help you with the formalities (Japan only accepts tourist and business visas now, and you can travel freely in Japan, but the requirements are too high, and almost most people in Japan can't pass the individual tourist visa, so they can only go to Japan with a group), but many of them still have to do it themselves, such as changing Japanese yen. It is recommended that you change money at home. It's not that easy to change money in Japan, and the exchange rate is much higher. In China, you have to go to a big bank in China to change it. You'd better go to your China Bank headquarters and change it to a small China Bank, which will raise the exchange rate and save a lot of money. There is also the exchange rate, which is usually very high on holidays. It is recommended not to change it at this time. Another suggestion is that the family should exchange their ID cards together, because there is a limit to how much foreign currency each person can exchange every day, so more people don't have to go.

2. How many yen?

Generally speaking, it depends on people, what is the purpose of your visit to Japan and what you want to buy. I changed 200,000 yen before I went with my mother. Of course, we brought RMB and credit cards (the tour guide will suggest that the shopping guide can accept RMB, and also suggest that you bring some in case of emergency). If you don't go to Japan to buy too expensive things, an average of 654.38+ 10,000 yen is definitely enough for one person. If you want to buy expensive things, you should bring at least 300 thousand yen.

3. Credit card problem

The frequency of swiping cards in Japan is also very high, which has become a question for many people. I suggest you bring a UnionPay card. Now the outlets of UnionPay cards in Japan are relatively high. In many places I go, I can use UnionPay cards to brush UnionPay cards to a certain amount, and I can also directly refund taxes and discounts. The most important point is the advantage of UnionPay. You don't need to apply for a dual-currency credit card. UnionPay card is the only China credit card in Japan that doesn't need to pay handling fees. Credit cards are also used for emergencies. I think it is a card. If you are really uneasy, bring a visa or master that supports dollar payment. These two international cards are distributed in many outlets in Japan.

4. Consumption tax

You have to pay a high consumption tax of 5% to buy anything in Japan. We are foreigners, some things can be returned and some can't. Generally, cosmetics and food are not refundable, unless they are bought in a large department store in duty-free shops. Generally, you can enjoy the tax refund treatment if you buy more than 10000 yen, but be careful that you must return them in this department store and don't think about returning them at the airport. That's impossible. You should take your passport to prove your identity when you refund the tax. So some tour guides will take your passport, and people who want to buy things should get your passport back from the tour guide in advance. Another digression is the high price in Japan. To go to Japan, we must keep up with Japan's price ideas. 100 yen is very cheap. Don't compare with China. It's irritating by comparison.

5. Hotel

Japanese hotels are clean and tidy, similar to Hong Kong. The land price in Japan is very expensive, so some hotels will be smaller, and hotel supplies can be used with confidence. Many people may have heard that you should bring your own toothpaste and toothbrush before you go. I can tell you here that even economical hotels have all kinds of toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, bath towel, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. There may be some small hotels that don't provide combs and shower caps, so take them with you if necessary. Also, remind everyone that the voltage in Japan is 1 10V. The hair dryer, curling iron and hair straightener you brought can't be used. If you have to bring it, go to the supermarket and buy a transformer. Chargers for ordinary mobile phones and cameras can be used, as long as they are marked with 10V ".

6. Water

Tap water in Japan has reached the drinking water standard. Because drinking water is managed by the US Food and Drug Administration in Japan, everyone can drink it safely, but people who are not used to drinking raw cold water should not drink tap water. The tap water in Japan is cold, so it is recommended to boil it in Japanese hotels. And mineral water. Mineral water in Japan can be divided into hard water and soft water. Hard water is deep sea water, and soft water is freshwater lake and snow water, which taste similar, but soft water is expensive.

7. Convenience stores and vending machines

There are many convenience stores in Japan, such as 7 1 1 lawson ampm, etc. Convenience stores are almost the same, and the price will be a little cheaper than that of supermarkets, but the key point is convenience. Another point is that convenience stores are open 24 hours a day. If you walk outside alone at night, and find an abnormal situation or an emergency, you should run into the convenience store when you see it. The clerk will protect you. "There are also many vending machines in Japan, such as calling the police. The price won't be too bad, don't worry about not getting it, but pay attention to the cold and warm labels. Not all drinks are cold or hot, but there are still differences. Oh, notice, there are many vending machines selling ice cream. Buy more when you see Haagen-Dazs. Very cheap. Tourists can't buy cigarette vending machines because they want to get stuck.

8. Food+Entry and Exit

Everyone who eats in Japan can rest assured that there is no problem! Besides, if you are not full, you can eat as much rice as possible. If you are not satisfied, you can keep eating. Haha, I can't get used to the mild taste of Mina Mulberry. Just bring something you like. In fact, China Customs is not too strict with Japanese entry inspection. It just takes a photo according to your fingerprint and fills out a form (the form is usually kept by the tour leader, so you don't have to fill it out). Don't take anything you can't take with you when you leave Japan. It has nothing to do with your luck to visit places in China.

9. Language exchange
