What do you need to prepare for a trip to Japan?

Although Japan is our neighbor, its geography, climate, environment and cultural customs are different, and everything here is still relatively strange to China people. Therefore, you must make detailed preparations before traveling to Japan to avoid unnecessary troubles. Let's share with you the detailed information prepared before traveling to Japan.

Passport: From April 1 2008, passports can be handled at any entry-exit management hall in China.

From July 1 day, 2008, the personal passport fee will be reduced from 160 yuan/person to 120 yuan/person, and the validity period will be 10 year.

Visa: Japan does not accept individual applications. Agents can be found on Taobao and Ctrip. The endorsement takes about 10 working days, valid for 90 days, and single stay 15 days. It is recommended that you apply at least one and a half months in advance, so there is still room for manoeuvre even if you are refused a visa.

Air ticket: The sooner the better, because the sooner the cheaper. If you book it temporarily, it will be expensive and uneconomical.

All Nippon Airways or Spring Airlines will have regular special fares, so please pay attention.

Traffic: You can buy a traffic card on a treasure for a few days, about 7 days and 40 minutes. Or choose to rent mobile WiFi, which is not expensive, but its endurance is not good. It is recommended to buy a mobile card. Mobile phone charging is not as good as mobile power supply.

Accommodation: Accommodation in Japan is super expensive, and homestays will not be much cheaper, so the only way to save money is to choose a place with convenient transportation, which can save a little bus fare. It is recommended to stay in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Shinsaibashi, Osaka or Sitong, Mei Tian and Kyoto.

Transportation: It is recommended to buy a watermelon card or an ICOCA card. The specific Japanese transportation strategy will be updated later for your reference.

Payment method: exchange in domestic banks in advance. It is recommended that each person prepare 3-5K yen, UnionPay card and a visa or master card every day. Where you can use Alipay, Alipay is the first choice, because the exchange rate of Alipay is cheaper than cash or credit cards.

App: accommodation Airbnb/ reservation; Maps Google maps/transferbox; Food, public comments; There is an interpreter; Customized tours, Royal chartered flight tours.
