How to save money in Japanese tourism

When traveling, you should still think about saving money. Today, Bian Xiao will tell you some ways to save money when you travel to Japan. If you want to save money, let's see which methods are more economical with Bian Xiao.

money

Foreign exchange: It is recommended to exchange some pocket money at home. Credit cards in Korea are generally higher than those in Japan, and WeChat/Alipay can also be paid in Japan and South Korea.

Overseas consumption:

Visa > > unionpay > [>[JCB] > MasterCard

If there is no credit card activity, it is recommended to use UnionPay to save exchange rate conversion fees; If you have a full-currency VISA credit card, the exchange rate is equivalent to that of UnionPay, and sometimes it will be better; There will also be some differences in the exchange rate of the issuing bank, and the bookkeeping method is inconsistent, so it is not considered.

air ticket

In the Spring and Autumn Period, China Eastern Airlines moved to Shanghai hub, where wars were raging and there were many routes. Highly recommended.

Low-cost airlines, the round-trip price including tax can be controlled at around 1200, except for special destinations, such as Hokkaido in winter;

Ordinary airlines, the round-trip tax-included price can be controlled at around 2500;

Tips: If you buy air tickets for Spring and Autumn Airlines, remember to pay attention to Japan Station. There is no airport tax on the return ticket from Japan. One-way tickets are at least cheaper in 200 yuan, and there are more promotions than in China.

Due to the visa requirements in Japan, many travel agencies have requirements and cannot book a homestay.

About visas

Because Japanese visas are not open to individuals, the task of reviewing materials is handed over to travel agencies. Every travel agency has a different material policy. If you encounter strict material requirements, you can find a store on the omnipotent TB, and in many cases you can spend money to do things.

Suggestion: Try to apply for multiple visas, so that the second departure can be said to be a lot of last tickets. Pay more attention to the last ticket on the poor travel+cellular platform.

Remarks: The last order, because the visa for Japan and South Korea takes several working days, and the travel agency chartered flight/contracted the route near the time of the trip, can't sell the remaining air tickets. There will be a tail order, which is very low in price and often appears. South Korea's round-trip tax includes 500/600, and Japan's round-trip tax includes hundreds of cabbage prices.

Japan's single visa, more than three years, more than five years, the visa is about ten working days.

Tips: If the salary does not reach 20W in all aspects, it is strongly recommended to apply for a single visa to Japan first; Then enter the country with a single visa from Japan, and then apply for a five-year multiple visa from South Korea/a three-year multiple visa from Japan.

Domestic traffic in Japan

If you stay in Japan for a few days or pass through Tokyo-Nagoya-Osaka (Kansai), it is strongly recommended to buy JR Pass (7, 14, 2 1 day coupons in advance, and the national coupons need to be booked online in advance;

If it is only a single point from Tokyo to Okinawa, or from Sapporo, Hokkaido to Kansai Osaka, of course, Japan Airlines is recommended. ANA launched a special ticket for overseas people, including tax for one-way 600 yuan people; Of course, there are cheaper Letao Airlines, Tianma Airlines, JetStarJapan, vanilla air and so on.

Of course, if you only travel in East Japan, West Japan, Kyushu, Hokkaido and other regions, you can buy JRPASS in your respective regions, which is very cost-effective.

If you just wander around the city, of course, there will be corresponding one-day tickets, such as one-day tickets for Tokyo subway, one-day tickets for Osaka subway and one-day tickets for Okinawa railway.

The traffic in Tokyo is the most complicated, followed by Osaka. If you buy a pass, remember to pay attention to the details, such as subway, subway and private subway.

If you want to save trouble, you can also choose a watermelon card, but it doesn't save money.
