How to save money during a student party’s independent trip to Japan

Japan is a highly developed capitalist country that has developed very well in all aspects. Soon, the spread of the two-dimensional culture was very wide. Almost everyone in the student party did not know the existence of the second dimension. It is understood that traveling to Japan is relatively expensive, so how should people like students plan to save the most money when going to Japan? The editor below will bring you some itinerary arrangements for your reference.

The departure location, departure time, location, destination, and approximate itinerary all need to be listed.

Taking the Beijing area as an example, there is no time limit, and the destination is Osaka before departure

1. Visa fees. The Japanese Embassy does not accept visa interviews and must go through a travel agency. If the subject has Basically, 399 is fine if you have a stable job and an annual income of more than 100,000 yuan. If you have a Beijing household registration and own a house, 399 is fine. If you don't meet the conditions and pay extra, the travel agency will also handle it.

If you are a student, getting a visa will be more troublesome and you will need documents from your parents, etc.

2. Air tickets: It depends on the location. Generally speaking, the cheaper air tickets are concentrated in exit destinations such as Qingdao, Jinan, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. When entering Osaka, the main low-cost airlines in mainland China are Spring Airlines, which has flights all year round. 9.9, 19.9, and 199 discounted tickets (but usually red-eye flights). Shandong Airlines usually departs from Jinan. Generally, it is easy to wait for the total price including tax within 1,000. If you enter Tokyo, it is slightly more expensive than Osaka. Non-red-eye flights are about 1,500-2,000. The return trip is slightly higher than the outbound trip, and it is easy to buy it within 1,500 for departures from Osaka to Shandong or Spring and Autumn (non-red-eye flights). If you are not at the flight location, the budget cost should include the round-trip ticket to the departure location. The official website is the first choice for purchasing air tickets. The website is only used as an index. Domestic websites recommend Tuniu, and foreign websites recommend Skyscanner. Skyscanner is a price comparison platform, and the final transaction is also the official airline website or the ticket source platform (recommended).

Total cost: round trip 1200-3000 (economy class)/person upon arrival

3. Accommodation fee: It depends on the location. The cost in Kansai area is slightly lower than that in Tokyo area. , B&Bs near Shinsaibashi Namba in Osaka are basically around 300/night, the further away the lower, but they basically fluctuate within this range. Tokyo area double. The above does not mention hotels, because apart from love hotels, the number of formal hotels in Japan is relatively small and the prices are relatively expensive. Domestic reservations for homestays generally use Booking, Airbnb, or Pocket Accompanying

4. Transportation expenses: Transportation expenses in Japan are relatively complicated. . . It's really complicated. If you don’t want to spend money and save trouble, buy a travel card specially designed for tourists. Taking Osaka as an example, the Osaka Amazing Pass (2,300 yen for one day and 3,000 yen for two days) includes all transportation fees required in the city (except JR lines) and attraction tickets (except Aquarium and Universal Studios) ), saving trouble and worry. Otherwise, if you need to transfer every time you take a bus, it is very likely that the two companies do not belong to the same company and you will have to pay twice. Japanese trains basically start at 120 yen or 150 yen (about 10 yuan). If you don’t have a local accompaniment to transfer by car, it’s still quite troublesome. Make preparations before traveling and download commonly used transfer query software or Google Maps. If you travel across regions, the cost will be more expensive. The one-way Shinkansen from Osaka to Tokyo costs 14,000 yen (about 930 yuan), and it is only 500 yuan from Beijing to Shanghai! The fastest one takes two hours, and the slowest one takes four hours. If you have a large-scale cross-regional trip, it is recommended to purchase a JR

pass 7-day pass. It will be more cost-effective, 38,880 yen, more than 2,000 soft sister coins. . If you only go to Tokyo, the flight is relatively cheap, about 600 yuanmei coins.

5. Meals: The three meals you just need are about 500 yen per person based on the standard of pine houses everywhere. Count on crab Doraemon and Kobe beef. If customs allow, you can buy and cook your own food for breakfast and dinner, which will be slightly cheaper. 300/day for two people is reasonable.

6. Attraction fees: Take Osaka as an example. Except for Kaiyukan, the Osaka city travel card is not free, and other places are basically free. At Universal Studios, I bought 6 express cards + one ticket* **18,000 yen. About more than 1100 RMB. In addition to transportation fees in the Kansai area, the Kansai Amazing Pass will have discounts on attractions but will not be free. In Nara, Kyoto, and Kobe, the proportion of tickets is relatively small.

So visa+air tickets+accommodation+transportation+meals cost about 4,500 yuan at most for about a week
