Is it better to travel to Japan in a group or on an independent basis?

Japan is our neighboring country. It has a very long history and cultural origin. It is also a popular tourist destination. Japan’s natural environment protection is very good. You will appreciate a different modern atmosphere. Here is what I will tell you Share recommendations for traveling in Japan.

If you like freedom, if you have ideas, and if you want to save money, you should travel freely. Otherwise, just go with the group.

First, language issue. Compared with Westerners, we have great advantages when traveling to Japan. Because there are many Chinese characters in Japanese.

For example, among the six pictures below, the first three were taken on the train station platform. The fourth picture is a ticket vending machine at a tourist attraction, the fifth picture is a billboard for a one-day subway pass, and the sixth picture is a road sign. It can be seen from this that even if you don’t speak a sentence of Japanese, it doesn’t matter, most of us can understand these words.

Second, navigation issues. Nowadays, the Internet information is very complete, especially when you are abroad. If you want to go somewhere, just click on Google Maps and you can immediately get detailed information on how to get there. Not to mention trains and subways, you can even take a few buses to find out the next bus. What time it is, can be displayed on the screen of the mobile phone.

Third, the issue of cost. Three sets of numbers are provided for reference.

1. A 15-day solo trip to Japan, from Tokyo to Kagoshima, with a total cost of 12,000 yuan.

2. Four people traveled to Japan for 8 days, entering and leaving Osaka, and visiting Wakayama, Nara, Kyoto, and Osaka. The total cost per person was 8,200 yuan.

3. Three people traveled to Japan for 14 days, entering and exiting Tokyo, walking south to Nagoya, and then taking a boat north to Sendai. The total cost per person was 8,500 yuan.

The above total cost refers to the time from leaving your home to the time you enter your home. The tour group quotes are generally cheaper, but there will be expenses along the way (non-shopping). In addition, the group tour time is relatively short.

Each has its own advantages. You don’t have to worry about joining a group, and you don’t need to be so tired talking to the hotel front desk. You can just check in, and all the food, accommodation and transportation are included.

You just need to have a good rest and see the scenic spots. You can sleep in the car when you are tired, or just relax when you get off the car.

But I may have to take you into a shopping store. I think it won’t be difficult for you in Japan if you don’t buy, unless you sign up for a low-price group.

There are also benefits to traveling independently. How is your Japanese? If you are good, you will have a lot of fun. If not, there are Chinese characters on the street, but you will also encounter some embarrassment when you go to an izakaya, because you I couldn't understand anything and could only sign, but it was still an experience.

Only by walking around the streets and taking a leisurely stroll can you experience the unique inner culture instead of looking at the surface.

You may encounter a variety of problems or problems, a couple sitting in the park, a hard-working courier...

If you encounter a problem such as getting lost, what else can you do? You can experience it by asking the police, or asking Japanese people. From my experience, ordinary Japanese people will take you there if they don’t understand you. If it’s not far away, they are more responsible.

In short, don’t be afraid, bring enough money, go free or join a group, and don’t make loud noises abroad. I won’t go into details about these issues.

It depends on how old you are, you should be free to act as an adult. First of all, don’t worry about the language problem. Japanese people’s English is worse than yours, and their accents are almost incomprehensible. Even if you don’t know Japanese, it’s no problem. Nowadays, mobile phone translation software is very powerful, basic ones are no problem, and body language is universal in the world. worldwide.

How to play without a language foundation? First of all, you have to do your homework, such as the entire itinerary, where to go, what kind of car to use, the names of the places you want to go, Japan maps, etc. You have to prepare Okay, and there are a lot of Japan travel software on your mobile phone, so you need to prepare your homework in advance.

The second point is that you will definitely be confused when you arrive in Japan. Even if you are prepared in advance, especially if it is your first time to Japan, don’t be afraid at this time. Take out what you have prepared and boldly ask the Japanese. .

Generally speaking, Japanese people are very nice and enthusiastic. As long as you ask them, they will almost put aside their own efforts to help you in advance. So if you don’t know where to go and can’t find your way around in Japan, just ask. People, the premise is that you have to prepare yourself.

Thirdly, Chinese people are playing everywhere now, especially in Japan. Many large service places are basically equipped with Chinese-speaking staff, so there is no need to be afraid. The most important thing is that you prepare in advance.

Even if you can’t find it by then, you must ask someone shamelessly, especially if you don’t speak the language well. The Japanese are still very good at this. enthusiasm.
