How to prepare for traveling to Japan during the Spring Festival and how to prepare money

1. Japan is the closest to China. The weather in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka is similar to that in Shanghai. Because I am traveling, I am active every day, so it won’t be too cold. Hotels and cars are all air-conditioned, so don’t wear too many or too thick clothes. During the Spring Festival, Tokyo and other places also have many cloudy days. 2. All international airports, major banks, hotels, etc. in Japan have foreign exchange services, but the exchange business hours at bank windows are from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Foreign currencies such as US dollars, British pounds, francs, and Hong Kong dollars can be exchanged in Japan, and there are very few RMB exchange outlets. Suggestions: a. Use UnionPay cards issued in China, which are already available in Japan. China UnionPay cards have signed contracts with thousands of franchise stores in Japan. All debit cards that join UnionPay cards can be paid directly in Japan without the need for exchange or carrying large amounts of foreign currency when traveling, which is very convenient. For shopping, dining, accommodation, and ticketing, you can use UnionPay cards in major tourism-related commercial facilities where there is a UnionPay card mark. b. If you bring cash, exchange RMB for US dollars in China and then exchange for Japanese yen in Japan.

3. The voltage in Japan is 100V. Therefore, cameras and other electrical appliances brought from China cannot be used directly in Japan. If you want to use them, you need to prepare a 220V to 100V transformer.
