Why do you say that you can only walk when you visit Japan? Is transportation in Japan really expensive?

Every time you travel to Japan, you will find that local residents basically walk at a pace, and local tour guides will advise tourists to walk rather than take a ride, because the transportation in Japan is really super expensive. Because of the different economy and culture, Japan itself belongs to a strong country with economic development, and consumption is naturally more expensive. The local subway is generally twice as large as the domestic subway. The most shocking thing is the local taxi fare. It is simply shocking to calculate that one kilometer will cost about 2 yuan.

Walking on the streets of Japan, we will find that there are basically not many buses or taxis here, and most of them are Japanese on foot. Is it because local residents love walking? No, but everyone tries to avoid taking public transportation. The cost of transportation in Japan is indeed higher than that in China. After all, it belongs to an economic power and its consumption will naturally be higher. Most local residents will choose the cheap subway to appear, perhaps directly on foot, and basically no one will take a taxi in the local area.

After all, the process is full of enjoyment, and it really hurts when giving money.

Actually, Japan is not too big. It is better to walk when traveling. The local transportation is really expensive.
