Back up. Whenever a tram arrives at a station, passengers on the tram should be careful not to stand at the door of the tram so as not to hinder other passengers from getting on and off the tram. Escalators in cities should also stand on the same side in order to leave a passage for people in an emergency to go first.

Japan, like many Asian countries, does not have the habit of tipping, whether in hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions or on tour buses. No tipping policy. Because all service charges are included in the bill. So customers don’t have to worry about it anymore. When taking a taxi, passengers do not have to open and close the door themselves. The driver will press a button to open and close the door for the passenger, so you can just "drive away" after getting off the bus.

10. Hot spring bathing *** Swimsuit

You are not allowed to go in with a towel when soaking in hot springs in Japan. You must first sit on a bench (you cannot stand to avoid splashing water on others), rinse your body with a shower, and then enter the hot spring to soak. Women should tie up their hair with a towel or rubber band to prevent it from falling into the hot spring. At the same time, be careful not to bring towels into the bath, and do not use soap bath liquid in the bath.

The custom of changing into slippers is not allowed in Japan. Never forget to take off your shoes before entering the house.

2. Always bring an umbrella with you when you go out.

Always bring an umbrella with you when you go out. Japan has a maritime climate with unpredictable weather, so bring an umbrella to be prepared. Bring a folding umbrella when traveling, but it’s best to bring a long gentleman’s umbrella when going on business or visiting relatives. Because in Japan, there is an umbrella basket in front of most shops or even private houses. Umbrellas with long handles can stand in the basket, but folding umbrellas cannot be placed in the basket.

3. Don’t tip when spending money

Japan, like many Asian countries, does not have the habit of tipping. Because a service charge of 10% to 15% has been added to the bill of a large hotel or restaurant. If there is no special service in a taxi, there is no need to tip. As for consumption in beauty salons, barber shops, bars and nightclubs, there is no need to tip.

4. Drink tap water when you are thirsty

Tap water in Japan is drinkable directly. Stations and large public places have tap water spouts. Large hotels and restaurants all provide mineral water for guests to drink.

5. It won’t work if you bring your own mobile phone

You don’t need to bring your mobile phone with you to Japan. Due to the different standards, it is impossible to use your own mobile phone there. In addition, the voltage in Japan is 110 volts (mainly two-pin flat plugs), so if the battery charger for your own camera, video recorder, etc. is not compatible with 110-240 volts, you cannot use it.

6. Buy what you don’t buy

The quality of small household appliances in Japanese duty-free shops is very good and the prices are very cheap. It is generous and affordable to bring some back as gifts to relatives and friends. It’s not cost-effective to buy small boutique toys, clothes, shoes, etc. Most of them are made in China and are shockingly expensive. In addition, film and camera-specific lithium batteries are more expensive in Japan than in China, so you can bring more when going abroad. Department stores and stores in Japan close around 7pm (only a few are open until 9pm), so shopping at the mall at night is almost impossible.

7. The subway is convenient and cheap

If you want to go shopping by yourself in Japan, it is best to take the subway because it is the cheapest. Japan's subway transportation is very developed. The subway lines are as dense as a spider web. The subway stations go directly to the bottom of high-rise buildings, giving you a lot of room for travel choices. Consumption in Japan is very high, so taxis are of course very expensive. If you have to pay for it yourself, it’s better to go out and take the subway. In addition, when traveling and staying in a hotel, if you don’t speak Japanese and go out on your own, it’s best to bring a business card from the hotel so you can get a ride back if you get lost.

8. It is inconvenient to exchange currency

In Japan, currency must be exchanged at a foreign currency exchange bank or other legal currency exchange place. In addition, you must show your passport. However, Japanese bank exchange services are only available from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. In addition, banks are closed all day on Saturdays, Sundays and major holidays. Therefore, money can generally only be exchanged in hotels, but it is slightly more expensive than bank exchange.

9. Making phone calls

Red and pink phones: suitable for making domestic calls in Japan, only ten yen coins (ten yuan and three cents) are accepted. Green and gold phones: International long distance calls are available, and phone cards or ten-yen or one-hundred-yen coins are accepted. Of course it is best to buy an IP phone card.

10. Necessary preparation items

There are few toothbrushes and toothpastes in Japanese hotel rooms. It is best to bring your own slippers. It is difficult to be on time for meals during the trip because the local living index in Japan is relatively high. , it is best to bring some snacks so that you have something to eat when you are hungry. For example, it is best to wear a mask when going in spring. If it snows in winter, you should also wear sunglasses and a hat. Do not wear high heels. There are many hot springs in Japan. If you want to enjoy them, it is best to bring your own related supplies

3. Travel to Japan. What supplies do you need to bring?

Things to note when traveling to Japan: 1. Customs regulations stipulate that the maximum amount of money you can carry out of the country is RMB 6,000 and USD 5,000.

For high-end items such as cameras, please go through customs procedures. 2. When traveling, please carry a sturdy, durable and lightweight suitcase and mark it clearly.

Please carry your personal documents, passports, coins, jewelry and other valuables with you or deposit them in the free safe in the hotel room. Do not store in hotel rooms, suitcases, cars, or give them to others for safekeeping.

Please bring enough film (overseas film is relatively expensive) and put it in your carry-on bag for security check and easy access. 3. Please carry necessary personal medicines and daily medication with you during the trip.

4. The driving directions of cars in Japan and China are exactly opposite. China drives on the right side, while Japan drives on the left. Traffic rules require vehicles to pass through intersections quickly when the light is green, and pedestrians must strictly abide by traffic signals when crossing the road.

5. Hotel precautions (1) When going out from the hotel, please be sure to carry the hotel room card or hotel guide in case you get lost and ask for directions. Kanji is commonly used in Japan. If the other party does not understand it, you can write Kanji to communicate.

(2) The tap water in Japan can be drunk directly, and the cold water in the hotel bathroom can be used as drinking water. If you are not used to drinking raw water, there is usually an electric kettle and a small amount of tea in the room, so you can boil water for drinking.

(3) The "Remote TV" channel (red button on the remote control) in Japanese hotel rooms is a paid channel, and the viewing fee is paid by yourself. There are currently no Chinese TV programs in Japanese hotels.

(4) Please be aware that once the drinks in the refrigerator in some Japanese hotel rooms are taken out, the computer will automatically charge you even if you put them back. (5) Japanese hotels generally provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, toiletries, and slippers, but it is recommended to bring your own.

(6) Hotels generally have 110V-220V transformer sockets. Japanese electrical plugs are 2-hole flat plugs (China generally uses round-hole plugs). Please be sure to bring a suitable plug when carrying cameras and other electrical appliances that need to be charged.

6. How to make phone calls: Because Japan uses its own wireless communication system, China's Global Telecom cannot be used in Japan. At this time, only local coin-operated or magnetic card phone calls can be used.

Please pay attention to the following phone usage methods. 1. Japanese gray telephones can be used with 100 yen coins, and orange IC telephones can be used to make direct international calls using IC cards.

Green telephones can only make local calls using coins and phone cards (for example, when using an IP phone card purchased domestically, after dialing the local IP phone access number, you can follow the instructions to use the IP phone card to make long-distance calls. However, you need to insert coins or insert a magnetic card to connect to the local telephone access number before dialing).

2. Please dial in the following order after inserting coins or cards: 001010 (telecommunications service number) 86 (China number) 10 (Beijing number) 12345678 (landline number) 001010 (telecommunications service number) 86 (China number) 13912345678 (national number) Any mobile phone number) 7. Time difference: There is a 1 hour time difference between Japan and China.

(Tokyo is 1 hour ahead of Beijing time, for example: 08:00 Beijing time, Tokyo time is 09:00).

4. What do you need to prepare to live in Japan?

It depends on how long you stay.

If it is a short-term trip, prepare a change of clothes, some commonly used medicines in case you get sick in the past and do not know how to buy Japanese medicine, and some portable kimchi or instant noodles that suit your taste, in case you cannot eat them in the past. When you are used to things and want some instant noodles, a simple Japanese handbook is required. You must have a certain level of Japanese language skills. At least you need to know how to ask for directions if you get lost. It would be better if someone always takes you with you. There are also Japanese aspects. You need to determine the contact information of your contact person in advance, where you want to stay, and of course exchange some Japanese yen in cash. Bring your ID card, passport, and air tickets, as well as the items you want to use, such as a camera, such as the book you want to read. Also, if you want to bring something into the country, you should bring an empty suitcase with you so that you can bring something back. During short-term travel, you usually stay in a hotel, so you don’t have to worry about meals, toiletries, and daily life, just spend money.

If you are studying abroad for a long time, in addition to the above things, you must contact the place where you will live or study, and you must buy what to eat and various daily necessities by yourself, and the Japanese language requirements are even more important. High, because there will be no tour guide or anyone to take care of you, so you have to solve everything by yourself. As for what knowledge you need to know, you don’t have to worry too much about traveling. You are just a passerby anyway, and people will forgive you. At most, you will come back in a few days. If you stay for a long time, you must understand not only Japanese but also all Japanese etiquette. , I will definitely learn these in Japanese class.

5. What are the common sense when traveling to Japan

1. Bring a comb and toothbrush (basically all hotels do not have combs, and a few hotels do not provide toothbrushes)

2. Bring something that you like and will be full of. I just finished my trip to Japan and I really can’t get used to the food there.

3. When soaking in hot springs, it is best not to bring your towel to the hot spring. You should not wrap the towel around your body to soak in the hot spring, nor soak it in the hot spring. At most, you can only put it aside or wrap it on your head. .

4. The Japanese service is very good. The service staff will basically bow and ask questions when they see you, so we should also show a friendly attitude.

5 It’s troublesome if you don’t know Japanese. If you know English, you can try to use it, but Japanese people’s English is generally not good.

6. Try to bring your passport with you at all times and keep it safe. You can enjoy tax refund service by showing your passport when shopping (which means shopping is cheaper). Your passport can also ensure your personal safety in Japan if you get lost.

7. Shops in Japan close surprisingly early. Basically, there are no open shops on the road around 7 or 8 pm (Japanese time is one hour ahead of domestic time. When you go, adjust your watch and dial Almost an hour)

8 Mobile phones are useless unless the global function is turned on. Then you can buy phone cards locally in Japan.

9. Bring an umbrella and sunscreen, the sun is strong in Japan.

10. Be mentally prepared for the possibility of encountering a small earthquake.

That’s all I can think of for now!

6. What "little knowledge" do you need to travel to Japan?

If you are traveling to Japan, you don't need to bring too many clothes this season, but you must bring an umbrella, preferably with you. With it, if you are a woman, it is usually enough to bow 30 degrees. Cross your hands in front of your belly, with your left hand pressing your right hand. If you are a man, you usually bow 45 degrees, and put your hands on the trouser line of your legs. You can take off your shoes anywhere. Turn around and put your shoes in order, with the toes pointing outwards. If there is a shoe cabinet in a hotel, put the toes inwards~~

When you greet someone, you usually say こんにちは, but if you meet someone for the first time every day, say こんにちは おはようございますBe careful not to speak too loudly when eating, and don’t throw food waste all over the table. Usually put it on a small plate~~ You should make noise when eating noodles, so as to prove that the food is delicious. If you go Before eating at a friend's house, you must wait until everyone is seated and say "いただきます" before you can use chopsticks. No matter whether the bite after eating is delicious or unpleasant, you must say "おいしいです" when others are picking up food or pouring wine for you. You can't say ありがとう, but you have to say すみません~~It's best not to make loud noises anywhere to maintain your personal image

That's all I think of for now~~

7. Things to pay attention to when traveling to Japan What

First time out of the country*** Ben? The most difficult visa to apply for in Asia is Japan.

The 6-day group tour should be some regular group tours from Han-in to East-departure or East-in and Han-departure? There’s nothing special to note, just take care of your wallet. Just don't buy random things - -! The single best place in Japan for shopping is Akihabara Electric Town, where you can find high-quality products at low prices.

When shopping in Japan, you should pay attention to: (1) Commodity tax: When shopping in Japan, you cannot pay directly in RMB or US dollars. Please exchange US dollars and other foreign currencies into Japanese yen at restaurants or banks. In Japan, except for duty-free shops, all purchases are subject to a 5% consumption tax. However, when the purchase amount in some large shopping malls exceeds 10,000 yen, the consumption tax can be refunded on the spot with your passport. If you do not apply for it at the time, you cannot re-apply it later.

(Tax refund needs to be confirmed with the mall). (2) Bargaining: Generally, you cannot bargain when purchasing in Japan, especially in department stores. If you insist on bargaining, you may receive a cold reception.

No need to tip. (3) Suitable products: The small household appliances in Japanese duty-free shops are of very good quality and very cheap.

But pay attention to the voltage and format. (The voltage of Japanese electrical appliances is 110 volts, the voltage of Chinese electrical appliances is 220 volts, the TV image display method is Japanese standard NISS, Chinese standard PAL) It is generous and affordable to bring some back as gifts to relatives and friends.

It is not cost-effective to buy small boutique toys, clothes, shoes, etc. Most of them are made in China and are shockingly expensive. In addition, film and camera-specific lithium batteries are more expensive in Japan than in China, so you can bring more when going abroad.

Most department stores and shops in Japan close around seven o'clock in the evening (only a few are open until nine o'clock), so it is almost impossible to go shopping at night. Common sense (1) Instructions for staying in a Japanese-style hotel: A tatami room in a Japanese-style hotel is generally for four people. It is a living room during the day and a bedroom at night.

Special futons will be prepared by the hotel staff. The Japanese-style hotel provides slippers and yukata, and guests can put on the yukata immediately after check-in and go out anywhere in the hotel.

The way to wear a yukata is to wear the left side with the right side. (2) Drinking water: Japan’s tap water can be drunk directly and is absolutely safe.

You can drink it directly if you are thirsty. (3) Hotels: Japanese hotels generally provide toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, body soap, slippers, etc.; in principle, Japanese hotels do not require tipping.

Voltage The voltage in Japan is almost all 110 volts (mainly two-pin flat plugs), so if the battery charger for your own camera, video recorder, etc. is not compatible with 110-240 volts, you cannot use it. The voltage equipment in many hotels can use both 110 and 220 volts, allowing travelers to use electric shavers, hair dryers and other electrical appliances at will.

8. What common sense should you pay attention to when going to Japan

Japan’s unique common sense:

Tap water is cleaner than mineral water (not to mention dirty disinfectant water) Even the minerals have been removed). Food safety issues have been quiet since the second half of the 1980s. Some of them are just some people who want to coax them in the early 21st century. You can feel safe eating them raw.

If you want to smoke, you can only do so in the smoking room. Public toilets in Tokyo have fire alarms, and most public places have smoking rooms (the recent anti-smoking campaign has made it difficult for people to smoke while smoking). Smoking rooms are available only in restaurants or sports facilities).

You need slippers when entering your home. Don't let mud from outside come into your home.

Green tea and barley tea basically do not add sugar, and supermarkets do not sell tea with sugar.

Rice is the life of the Japanese. Whether it is Japanese, Chinese or Western cuisine, you can basically order rice in restaurants, even if there is already another staple food: ramen or bread.

9. What are the requirements for working in Japan?

General labor in Japan has very low educational requirements, just a junior high school diploma or above.

But for male workers, if they don’t have any skills: welding, machine tools, construction, etc., they will have fewer opportunities to go to Japan.

Your age is what most Japanese factories need, and there will be some Japanese companies that do not require skills to recruit people. For example, aquatic products, printing, agriculture, etc.

The cost is generally around 35,000-40,000 yuan. First, you need to sign up for an interview with a Japanese company. It usually takes about half a year after admission before you can go abroad (Japanese language training is required during this period). An ordinary part-time job, based on the current Japanese yen exchange rate, usually costs about 10,000 yuan per month.

Jobs with high wages are those that require a lot of overtime, and overtime is paid overtime. Note: When going abroad, you must be mentally prepared to endure hardships and stand hard work.
