What are the precautions for traveling to Japan?

Japan is a country with distinctive nature and culture. So what should we pay attention to when traveling? The following are the precautions for traveling to Japan compiled by Xiaobian for everyone, hoping to help everyone!

What should I prepare for traveling to Japan? 1. Hotels in Japan generally provide relatively complete toiletries, but pajamas and slippers are generally reused. It is recommended to bring your own.

2. Please bring appropriate clothes, especially comfortable, light and casual clothes. In Japan, you often need to take off your shoes when entering and leaving temples and some restaurants, so try to wear shoes that are convenient to take off. The wooden floors in some temples may be very cold, so be sure to wear socks.

3. The voltage in Japan is 1 volts, and the socket is a flat-footed socket with two ends. Cylindrical plugs and tripods are not available in Japan. It is recommended that you prepare the conversion plug in advance.

4. Drugs: Please bring a small amount of commonly used drugs according to your physical condition. In particular, Japanese food is mainly fresh. In order to avoid your stomach upset, you'd better bring some antidiarrheal drugs.

5. In Japan, coins are widely used, so I suggest you prepare a coin purse.

6. China Customs stipulates that each person can carry no more than 2, RMB in cash or convert it into 5, US dollars or equivalent foreign currency; If it exceeds, it must be declared before leaving China Customs.

Tips for traveling in Japan 1. Necessary luggage

Many people are always particularly entangled when they go abroad to prepare pre-departure items. In fact, if you go to Japan, you only need to focus on check: cash, bank card and passport are completely OK!

You don't have to worry about daily necessities at all in Japan, because Japan is a country where life is particularly convenient. You can see convenience stores within a few steps, and it is very convenient to buy common things.

check the weather conditions in advance before you go out to prepare clothes, pack as lightly as possible, and leave more room for boxes in case you don't have enough when you come back.

2. Communication

Generally speaking, speaking countries are not very good at making phone calls, mainly through the Internet. There are two ways to surf the Internet: renting wifi and buying calling cards. Both Taobao can be solved.

If you rent wifi, you need to place an order online in advance and pick it up at the airport wifi rental office on the day of departure (remember to return it when you return home); Pay attention to carefully choosing the number of days to use when buying Japanese calling cards. Personally, I prefer to buy a phone card. Will the rented wifi be unstable sometimes?

3. Pay

cash, Alipay and bank card.

if you are going to a big city in Japan, you can basically do it by swiping a bank card (remember to tell the cashier when you pay:? __でお_いします。 ? If you can't speak Japanese, just point to the UnionPay icon on the card. Now many stores support Alipay, so don't worry too much.

if you are going to a small place or the countryside: buying souvenirs in some tourist attractions and buying special products in some old shops only supports cash payment, please be sure to bring some cash.

4. Shopping

When you go to Japan, you can't avoid buying from buy buy.

Precautions when buying clothes:

It is common sense for girls to wear masks when trying on clothes in the store. One is to prevent clothes from getting dirty, and the other is to protect guests' hairstyles and makeup. This move is also to strengthen the trust between guests and stores. There are some small rules for buying clothes in Japan, such as taking off your shoes when you enter the fitting room.

Tax refund:

When shopping in Japan, the goods that can be refunded include electrical appliances, luxury goods, cosmetics, cigarettes, etc., and you can go through the tax refund formalities when you purchase more than 5, Japanese dollars/store.

however, once the tax refund formalities are completed, the store will use special packaging to prevent the passengers from using the goods during their stay in Japan. It is best not to open them in case they are checked. (Note: not all goods in shopping malls participate in tax refund)

Japanese customs taboo 1. Don't take pictures of passers-by

Now people pay more and more attention to personal privacy, while Japanese people are more strict in this respect. Even if TV programs shoot passers-by, they will put mosaics on their faces to respect and protect their personal portrait rights and privacy rights.

Therefore, when taking photos in Japan, you should pay special attention. When you see a woman wearing a traditional kimono and want to take pictures, you'd better ask the other person's permission before taking pictures, so as not to cause unpleasantness.

2. After you take off your shoes, your toes should face outwards

Many restaurants in Japan are full of tatami, so guests will be required to take off their shoes and enter. At this time, remember to put your shoes neatly with their toes facing outwards.

Reminder: You often take off your shoes in Japan, so you'd better check whether your socks are dirty or torn before going out, otherwise it will be embarrassing and rude.

3. The towel in the hot spring must not touch the bath

When you come to Japan, you must not miss the hot spring! Generally, you will be given a big towel and a small towel before taking a hot spring bath.

but it should be noted that the towel is not for you to rub your back and hide your shame in the bath. The big towel is to dry your whole body after soaking, and the small towel is to wrap your hair and wipe the water stains on your face.

4. Bathrobe should cover the skirt from left to right

Some hot spring hotels will provide bathrobes for customers, but special attention should be paid when wearing bathrobes when staying in Japan. Bathrobes cover the skirt from right to left. Covering the skirt from left to right is the way the dead wear it, which is very taboo!

5. Eat sushi in one bite

Although we eat Japanese food from time to time in China, in fact, the way of eating sushi in Japan is also very particular. We should hold it in our hands, dip soy sauce in the fish and eat it directly.

Never eat fish and sushi rice separately in front of the chef!
