I'm from Pingdingshan, and I'm going to travel to Japan on February 19, and I'm in Beijing. The travel agency is Beijing Caesar International. What are the precautions for friends?

I often go to Japan and have the following experience.

1, be careful not to bring liquids and lighters on the plane. The time difference in Japan is one hour faster than that in China. Remember to adjust the time.

2. Only 3G mobile phones from China can be used in Japan, and there is no restriction on sim. First of all, we should call the mobile to open international roaming. The so-called 3g is available on smartphones such as Nokia E7 1 E63. If all else fails, communicate with the local tour guide, buy a mobile phone card or borrow a mobile phone from him.

3. Because I don't know your travel route, I can't recommend shopping spots specifically. In short, Osaka is cheaper than Kyoto, and Kyoto is cheaper than Tokyo. However, there are some things that you should do as soon as you see them, which may not be met in the future journey.

4. Shinsaibashi is a good place. Suggest a good stroll. Drugstores such as Ito Matsumoto can use UnionPay. (If you can brush UnionPay in Japan, you must brush UnionPay, which is much more cost-effective than visa). Large department stores can get tax rebates. Small souvenirs can be bought in Kiyomizu Temple or Sensoji Temple, both of which are cheaper.

5. It is not recommended to exchange too much yen in cash, which is mainly used to buy souvenirs at the gates of various scenic spots.

Go out to Japan to see cherry blossoms in late March and April.

Climate: Japan has a pleasant climate, which is not cold in winter and rainy and humid in summer. Please pay attention to the season when choosing clothes.

◇ Currency: The single currency in circulation in Japan is Japanese yen, while RMB cannot be freely converted into Japanese yen, while USD and HKD can be freely converted, and the exchange rate is different every day. The reference exchange rate is roughly 1 USD = 105 yen.

◇ Transportation: taxis can be called everywhere, no matter in cities or places, except in sparsely populated places. There are many taxis parked at designated positions in front of airports and stations. When calling a taxi, pay attention to the red light on the lower right side of the taxi's front window, indicating that it is empty. Other colors indicate reserved cars or buses. When you get on the bus from the left back door, the driver will control the automatic opening and closing of the door. If you want to go to the company or home, you'd better prepare a detailed street map besides the address. Taxi fares in different regions are slightly different. The starting price in Tokyo is 660 yen, and then the fare will be charged according to the distance and time. Tickets will go up at night. Taxis in Japan are very expensive. Passengers only need to pay by the meter without tipping.

◇ Catering: Team breakfast is self-help in the hotel. Dinner is mainly Chinese food and Japanese hot pot Korean barbecue, and the main form is table meal or buffet. Please don't bring drinks bought from non-restaurants into the restaurant, and please coordinate with the tour guide if it is not necessary. Generally, restaurants only provide small pieces of wet towels without napkins, so you need to bring your own handkerchiefs or tissues. Chinese food per table 10 people.

◇ Telephone: The direct dial method in Beijing is 00 1+86+ 10, and it can be 40% cheaper from1/kloc-0 to 08:00 the next morning. You don't need to bring a mobile phone to Japan, because the mobile phone in China is different from that in Japan, and the mobile phone in China can't roam in Japan except CDMA.

◇ Shopping: Generally, Japanese shops are clearly marked and generally do not bargain. The business hours of general shops and shopping malls in Japan are from 10 to 8: 00 pm, and they are also open on Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays. The department store will be closed on a certain day of the week. Different department stores have different rest days. Some specialty stores are closed on Sundays and national holidays. Besides, the department store closes one hour earlier than other stores (7 pm). When buying electrical or electronic products, we should pay attention to whether the voltage can be adjusted for use in our country. Different countries have different recording systems. Please confirm whether the system is correct.

Luggage specifications shall not exceed the standard (length 56, width 36 and height 23), and the weight shall not exceed 20kg. All kinds of knives must be put in the trunk of the handcart and checked together.

After filling out the exit registration card, please cooperate with the customs staff to complete the formalities at the terminal.

Persons holding official visas and business visas need to bring the attached invitation letter for inspection when leaving the country.

Please fill in the Japanese entry and exit card on the plane.

After arriving at the Japanese airport, go to the entry checkpoint through the quarantine station, show your passport and entry card, and go through the entry formalities at the foreign checkpoint. At the same time, tourists will be obliged to provide personal identification information (fingerprints and facial photos), otherwise they will not be allowed to enter Japan; You can claim your luggage after passing the immigration inspection. When you claim your baggage, please confirm the airline and flight number and pick it up at the designated baggage transfer counter. After you claim your luggage, you can show your passport and the customs declaration form filled in on the plane to go through the customs formalities. Customs has 17 counters, which are divided into two parts. You can go through the formalities at the green light inspection desk, which is tax-free. Those who are not within the tax-free scope should go through the formalities at the red light inspection desk. After customs clearance, the receptionist will hold a sign in the waiting hall to greet the distinguished guests. According to Japanese customs regulations, 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars, or half a pound of tobacco and 3 bottles of wine can be brought into the customs. The exit limit is 300,000 yen. There is no restriction on the entry of foreign currency. You can report the amount first and then take it out when you go through customs.

The food in Japan is very hygienic, and the water in the waterway can be drunk directly. You don't usually have diarrhea or anything. You can't eat raw food.

There are few thieves or anything. Many people put their wallets in their back pockets.

Be careful, don't lose your passport.

Then there is the public * * * place to speak louder. China people often talk loudly, which makes the Japanese feel very uneducated.

Use the paper prepared in the toilet when going to the toilet, and flush it after use. Only women's sanitary napkins and children's diapers were thrown into the trash can.

These are all headaches for the Japanese after Japan liberalized its travel to China.

As for the itinerary, it depends on the arrangement of the travel agency.

Although Japan is small, it can't be traveled all over in a few days, so I can't tell you.
