What should I pay attention to when I buy Japanese tourist souvenirs?

After traveling to Japan, you will definitely bring some local products. You can refer to the following small series, and there is also the etiquette of Japanese people. Let's learn about it to avoid making jokes. Passport

Be sure to keep your passport. This is your identification after going abroad. Never lose it. And it's best to carry it with you. Although I have encountered it, I heard that many people have encountered it and were stopped by police uncles to check their documents. Because I go out to play, I don't know when I want to buy things on a whim. In many places in Japan, holding a China passport can reduce taxes. Japan is ok. If it is in the United States, some shops can only buy things if foreigners show your ID. Otherwise you won't be allowed to buy it. What clothes should I prepare to go abroad

This mainly depends on which month you went out. If you are enjoying cherry blossoms and red leaves, I personally suggest wearing a sweater, taking one with you for replacement, being breathable and comfortable to wear, and then adding a jacket. If you go in summer, it goes without saying that you can dress as cool as possible. In winter, in fact, winter in Japan is really not cold. I just need to wear a shirt and a coat.

Pay attention to remind two things. First, you must wear one or two pairs of comfortable and breathable shoes. Because you may have to go a long, long time. In my experience, the daily journey is about 15 kilometers. If you have no idea about this distance, well, it's about 25, steps. This has a concept. If you go to a place like Lanshan, there may be more. Second, you'd better take an umbrella with you. Although the weather forecast in Japan is extremely accurate, the weather in Japan is very changeable, so it is necessary to take a folding umbrella with you. If the domestic umbrella is too heavy, buy another one in Japan. You can buy it in all convenience stores. What to prepare for personal products

This varies from person to person. If you have sensitive skin, you must bring your own cosmetics. There are shampoos, shower gels and conditioners in hotels in Japan, and many of them belong to Shiseido. Personally, I basically use hotels. Of course, you can also go directly to the drugstore to buy a set after going to Japan. Before using it, you can buy it directly and take it away if you think it is better.

Personal suggestion:

You'd better bring a slipper. Although there are slippers in Japanese hotels, they are very uncomfortable to wear. Maybe it's because my feet are relatively big (size 45). When I was staying at Marriott on business, I found the slippers of Marriott and Renaissance Hotel particularly comfortable, so I took a few pairs with me. I found it very comfortable to use when I went abroad.

Remarks:

The remarks have nothing to do with Japan. Just for personal experience. If a friend goes to America, you must remember to take all your personal belongings with you. Because there are only towels and shower gel in American hotels. It seems that some hotels don't even have shower gel. Also, many friends who go to America have gastrointestinal discomfort and can't drink cold water with them. There is no hot water kettle in American hotels. There is only one coffee machine. Which means you can only make one cup of coffee. A friend of mine takes an electric kettle with him every time he goes abroad. Japan does, so don't worry. Rules

Japan is a highly civilized country, and basically all people strictly abide by various orders and codes. Unlike at home. So when you come to Japan, no matter what happens, please remember that you are from China. Although the reputation of Chinese people abroad is not so good. But please note that you are not alone abroad, you represent our country. You broke the rules. People won't say you are xxxx, but people from China are xxxx. Remember. Should I put this sentence at the front? Here are some Japanese rules, please follow them consciously. One mistake is understandable, and if it is repeated, it will be hated.

1> Japan is different from our country. Everyone drives on the left. I may not be used to it when I first went, but I got used to it after two days. After getting used to it, I didn't adapt to it after returning home. Everyone will experience this very deeply when they take public transportation such as subway. Needless to say. And if you have taken the subway in Japan once, you will be shocked by Japan's respect for order and compliance. Moreover, Japan's traffic instructions are also very clear. If you go up the stairs right, you will find that there are upward and downward instructions on the stairs. You can't go wrong if you follow the instructions.

2> Japan has one of the highest smoking rates in the world. Maybe it's mainly because of too much pressure. But smoking is not allowed in most places in Japan. If you are addicted to cigarettes, you can find some corners. There will be some vending machines there to buy cigarettes. It is usually a smoking area. There are also many public places that have specially set up smoking areas. It's easy to find, obviously;

3> Basically, you can't eat in all the means of transportation in Japan. Of course, the Shinkansen is OK. After all, they are all long-distance buses. And there are things to buy on the Shinkansen. But remember, eating is absolutely forbidden on trams, JR, subways and buses. There are many food stalls in Japan, especially during festivals, but you can't eat on the road in Japan. You can't eat mutton kebabs while walking, as in China. So the best way is to stand by and finish eating. After eating, throw the rest of the garbage into the trash can. There are many places where garbage disposal is concentrated. ;

4> You can't make phone calls on vehicles in Japan. The tram in Japan is very quiet, and everyone speaks in a low voice. Trams and subways in Japan have priority seats, and it is necessary to turn off mobile phones near the priority seats. The reason is very simple, there will be hints, that is, many people will install pacemakers, and radio waves will interfere with pacemakers;

5> Do you know why China tourists are unpopular? The first is not obeying the rules. In fact, people can't be blamed for this sometimes. After all, when you are in a strange place, all your habits are different. Another reason is that China people like to talk loudly, expose their privacy loudly, and don't stop being advised by others. I have heard many such comments in America and Japan. Wherever people in China go, the decibel will increase sharply. So in foreign countries, please lower your decibel when speaking;

6> There are few trash cans in Japan, and the garbage sorting in Japan is the best in the world, which can be said to be the most abnormal. Trash cans can only be found in front of vending machines and supermarkets.

Personal suggestion:

So the best way is to carry a bag before going out, and then put a garbage bag in it. Take any garbage with you, and then throw it away after returning to the hotel;

7> You must soak in hot springs when you go to Japan. If it is a public hot spring, please abide by the rules of soaking in hot springs. No matter indoors or outdoors, bathers can't get away with it. When we watch anime or Japanese dramas, we will find that some Japanese people will put towels on their heads when they soak in hot springs. This is because towels are not allowed to be brought into the pool, and it is also to reduce the spread of germs. Before taking a bath, the Japanese should clean themselves before entering the pool, so there are small pots and stools at the entrance of Japanese hot springs. In addition, if you have long hair, don't immerse it in water, because it will cause trouble to others. Most Japanese people prefer to be quiet. After a tiring day's work, they want to relax and enjoy themselves, so try not to make noise or play with water when soaking in hot springs.

There are still many friends who like tattoos, which is nothing, but in Japan, only people in the underworld like tattoos, and people with tattoos are generally considered to be gangsters. So tattoos are not allowed in the public bathroom. The reason is that it will cause inconvenience to other guests. If a tattooed friend encounters this situation, please understand. Bathroom

What's the biggest headache when going out to play? It's the bathroom. In China, if we need it, we'll look for KFC, McDonald's and Pizza Hut first. Not to be afraid in Japan, because there are so many toilets in all tourist attractions. And there are basically toilet paper. We should not worry about this problem. Although Japan is not like China, there may be a McDonald's opposite KFC. But don't worry in Japan, all convenience stores have toilets and use them for free. 711, the whole family, Rosen, can be said to be everywhere in Japan. So don't even think about it. There are many Chinese characters for toilets in Japan, please remember them. If you see WC, TOILET, this is the bathroom, if you see the lounge, this is also the bathroom, if you see mitarai, this is also the bathroom. Don't miss it. Souvenirs

The souvenirs mentioned here are different from the local products mentioned above. The souvenirs mentioned here are mainly food for friends and relatives. Everyone knows that Japan is a gourmet country, and Japan has become a colony of European and American powers since the Meiji Restoration, and it was directly taken over by Americans after World War II. Therefore, there are many snacks with their own characteristics in Japan. At the same time, they have absorbed many European and American cultures, and with the influence of China culture, they have produced many delicious foods with their own characteristics. Here are some products that are most popular among Chinese people. Some can be bought directly at the airport, but there are many limited products that cannot be bought directly at the airport.

First White Lover

This is a special product of Ishigaki in Hokkaido. It is sweet and delicious, and there are various packages for customers to choose from. Although the products of Stone House are not only white lovers, they can only buy white lovers if they are no longer in Hokkaido. When I first went to Japan, my friend asked me to take some back for her. I said that I had eaten it before, and I was addicted to it. I must buy it. At that time, I searched all over Tokyo, only Tokyo Station, Narita and Haneda airports, and Tokyo Station was because of another Hokkaido product exhibition. If I have another chance, I can try other stone house products in Hokkaido. I'm sorry, I didn't have a chance to taste other products either. Be sure to update when you go to Hokkaido next time.

Friendly reminder:

When buying white lovers in Japan, you must pay attention to it. I don't know whether it is a fake or a spoof. In Japan, you can see many versions of lovers, such as lovers in Taiwan, lovers in Osaka, lovers in Kyoto, and even a product called white lovers. Friends who are familiar with Japanese know that white Chinese characters written in Japanese mean conscious and fun.

the second TokyoBanana

is basically available at airports. You can see the restrictions on department stores and airports written above. You can check all the products on the home page, and you can also see the reference prices. You can also find some limited products.

The third matcha product

There are many matcha products in Japan, and many of them are local restricted products, such as matcha cakes and matcha ice cream. These are not available at airports and many department stores. You can buy some for yourself or bring them back to your friends, but matcha products are basically soft and waxy and easily crushed, so it is recommended to buy them at the airport, although there may be fewer varieties.

No.48 _

Kyoto famous products are sold in Kansai Airport and major stores, and there are many manufacturers to choose from, such as Xiwei, _ _ Hospital and Shaft. They all taste the same, and I personally don't feel any different. There are two kinds of Baツ _, one is < P > which is soft, waxy, stuffed and delicious. But the shelf life is very short, about two weeks.

the other one is hard and has a long shelf life.

whether in the airport duty-free shops or in any tourist attractions in Japan, when people buy specialty products, they mainly eat, and the problem that must be paid attention to is the shelf life. I have wasted a lot of money through negligence. Because of the nature of my work, I often travel, and many things are overdue when I come back. For example, the shelf life of the popular white lovers among Chinese people seems to be only two months, while the shelf life of banana in Tokyo is even shorter, only a few weeks. You must buy yatuhashi when you arrive in Kyoto, and there are two kinds of yatuhashi. One is called Shenghachi, which is soft and waxy. This shelf life is also very short, and the other is much longer. If you send a friend, you are advised not to buy Shengba Bridge.
