Should I join a tour group or go by myself when traveling to Japan?

I have been to Japan three times, and went to Kansai and Tokyo with a group for the first time in 2007. I went to Hokkaido twice last year and the year before last.

Personally, I think because all the places I go now are free travel, unless there are no flights that need organic wine, I prefer to go to Japan for free travel. Coupled with the transportation, safety and services in Japan and the United States, there is nothing to worry about. Although there are problems in communication, there are Chinese characters.

The advantages of free travel are freedom, freedom and comfort. Coupled with the heavy snow and Christmas in Hokkaido last year, the power outage of JR#039 caused a difficult day. If other hotels arrive, there is no problem finding them. Visa Taobao, air tickets are optional. We found that booking in the hotel is not cheaper than the front desk. Make a simple plan and get the money ready.

To tell the truth, I hate the Japanese very much, and I hope that China and Japan will slap each other and knock Japan down. But in terms of personnel quality, civilization and service, we are decades behind Japan. However, the disadvantages of domestic tourism, the crowded rhythm of scenic spots and traveling abroad are all choices we have to face. Japan is indeed a paradise for free travel. Although its natural landscape is not as good as Europe, America and China, its culture and environment are clean and tidy, leaving several streets around the world.

/kloc-it will take 0/6 years to go! My answer is absolutely reliable. I suggest you find a ground pickup truck and station wagon and share it with several people. The daily fee is 100-200 yuan RMB. Just do your own raiders. Let me talk about the process of traveling with a group. I get up at 6:30 every morning, and my schedule is full. Getting on the bus, sleeping, getting off the bus and peeing at the scenic spot is really tiring! Moreover, the tour guide will talk about how good a Japanese product is (their product is really good) and then take everyone to the so-called duty-free shops in buybuy, which are all run by Hong Kong people or Taiwan Province people. The goods in these stores will be about 20/ 100-30/ more expensive than the regular shopping malls outside. 100 ......................

Will it be troublesome to travel to Japan without joining a group?

Hello, as a practitioner in the tourism industry, I am glad to answer your question.

It is very convenient to travel freely in Japan, and it has nothing to do with the group. Of course, you should be fully prepared. Let me briefly talk about the obstacles you may encounter and the corresponding solutions.

1. Language barrier

When going abroad freely, the biggest problem people encounter is the language barrier. However, we are now in the high-tech era, and language barrier is not a problem at all. If you are fluent in English, you can communicate with the Japanese directly in English. But Japanese English has a strong accent, so you may not understand it. You need to use translation software. I recommend you to use the translator here. Very fluent, supports offline translation, and can be used without network. After the language barrier is solved, the rest are basically minor problems.

2. Travel barriers

When you come to a strange country, you can I don't know much about the local traffic. Navigation software is needed at this time. The first overseas navigation software is Google Maps, and there is no one because it is the best. It can not only accurately display the route, but also display the arrival time of the subway or Shinkansen in the distance.

3. Communication barriers

In the high-tech era, many things can be done without a mobile phone, just like losing a new soul. Without the internet, mobile phones are like bricks, so the internet is also very important. Here, I suggest you rent a portable wifi on Taobao before you leave for Japan. It is very convenient to use, easy to carry, and can be turned on, and the cost is not expensive. About 10 yuan/day, you can borrow it from the airport.

4. Others

If you don't know much about Japanese attractions and food, you need to use relevant review software. It's good to face the scenic spots directly with hornet snest, with comprehensive information, opening hours and ticket prices. The food recommended by public comments is good and informative, but some of them are recommended by online celebrities, so you can identify them yourself.

To sum up, it is very convenient to travel to Japan without joining a group. If necessary, I have some suggestions for traveling in Japan. Please write to me directly for a detailed introduction of relevant precautions.

These are my answers to your questions. I hope my answer is helpful to you. If you are satisfied, please like it and pay attention. If you have any questions, please leave a message at the bottom of the comments, and I will reply one by one.

The original answer, the photos are all taken by myself. As a person who came back from Japan three days before closing the door (1October 265438+ 1 returning to China), I tell you responsibly that you can go by yourself, but only if you know some English and Japanese. This is my first visit to Japan. I can speak a little English and Japanese, and my wife doesn't have to do anything. There is no obstacle to communication, because it is too convenient to have translation software. The most troublesome thing to go to Japan is to take the tram or subway, because the subway in the neon country is too brain-burning and complicated. However, the Japanese do things seriously and have rules to follow. You just need to know the color of the tram or subway. There are no traffic obstacles in Osaka Nagoya, our family of three. By the way, there is accommodation. Book a B&B at Airbnb in advance, at least one month in advance (the ticket is advanced again), because the price is suitable. The Japanese are much more enthusiastic. If you have nothing to do, just ask, excuse me, Su Mi Ma Jianen and so on. The Japanese English I have come into contact with is very general. Don't worry about food. Clearly marked. Please make yourself at home. You're welcome. Japanese people drink hot water, but cold water is the main one, but it's clean. Don't worry about diarrhea. If you go to Japan by yourself, you can travel in depth. Going with the group is to go to the scenic spot. There are many compatriots in the scenic spot, you know. I remember that our family of three shuttled through the streets of Kyoto, and the feeling was authentic, real and comfortable.
