. Don't forget to take off your shoes
In Japan, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, whether you enter a hotel room, a Japanese home, a conference room or an office. In short, you have to change your slippers as long as you enter the room, and sometimes you have to change them twice. The custom of changing slippers is inviolable in Japan. Don't forget to take off your shoes before entering the house.
2. Never take an umbrella when you go out
Take an umbrella when you go out. Japan has a maritime climate, with uncertain rain and shine. Take an umbrella to be prepared. Take a folding umbrella when traveling, but it's best to take a gentleman's umbrella when going on business or visiting relatives. Because in Japan, there is an umbrella basket in front of most shops and even private houses. Long umbrellas can stand in the basket, but folding umbrellas can't be put in the basket.
3. Don't tip when spending money
Like many Asian countries, Japan has no habit of tipping. Because 1%-15% service charge has been added to the bills of big hotels and restaurants. If there is no special service for taxis, there is no need to tip. As for spending in beauty salons, barbershops, bars and nightclubs, there is no need to tip.
4. Drink tap water when you are thirsty
Tap water in Japan can be drunk directly. There are running water nozzles in stations and large public places. Grand hotels and restaurants have mineral water for guests to drink.
5. You can't use your own mobile phone
You don't need to bring your mobile phone to Japan. Because of the different standards, it is impossible to use your own mobile phone there. In addition, the voltage in Japan is 11 volts (mainly two-pin flat plugs), so battery chargers such as cameras and video recorders can't be used unless they are compatible with 11-24 volts.
6. Don't buy anything
The small household appliances in Japanese duty-free shops are of very good quality and cheap. It's generous and affordable to bring some back as gifts to relatives and friends. It's not cost-effective to buy small boutique toys, clothes and shoes. Most of them are made in China, and they are surprisingly expensive. In addition, Japan's lithium batteries for film and cameras are also more expensive than those in China, so you can take more when you go abroad. Department stores and shops in Japan close at around 7 pm (only a few are open until 9 pm), so it is almost impossible to go shopping at night.
7. The subway is convenient and cheap
If you want to go shopping by yourself in Japan, you'd better take the subway because it's the cheapest. Japan's subway traffic is very developed, the subway lines are as dense as cobwebs, and the subway stations go straight to the bottom of high-rise buildings, so there is a lot of room for you to choose. The consumption in Japan is very high, so taxis are of course very expensive. If you pay for it yourself, go out and take the subway. In addition, if you travel and stay in a hotel, you can't speak Japanese. If you go out on your own, you'd better bring a business card of the hotel so that you can get a ride back in case you get lost.
8. It's inconvenient to exchange money
In Japan, exchange money must be exchanged at foreign currency exchange banks or other legal currency exchange places. In addition, you must show your passport. However, the Japanese bank exchange business is only conducted between 9: am and 3: pm. Moreover, banks are closed all day on Saturdays, Sundays and major holidays. Therefore, money can only be exchanged in restaurants, but it is slightly more expensive than bank exchange.
9. Making phone calls
Red and pink phone calls: suitable for making domestic calls in Japan, and only accepting ten yen coins (ten yuan and three cents). Green and golden phone calls: making international calls, accepting calling cards or ten yuan or one hundred yen coins. Of course, it is best to buy an IP phone card.
1. Necessary preparations
There are few toothbrushes and toothpaste in Japanese hotel rooms, so it is better to bring your own slippers. It is difficult to eat on time during the trip. Because of the high local living index in Japan, it is better to bring your own snacks so that you can have something to eat when you are hungry. If you go in spring, you'd better bring a mask. If it snows in winter, you should also bring sunglasses and a hat. Don't wear high heels. There are many hot springs in Japan. If you want to enjoy them, you'd better bring your own supplies.
