passport
Be sure to take care of your passport. This is your identification after going abroad. Never lose it. And it's best to carry it with you. Although I have encountered it, I heard that many people have encountered it and were stopped by police uncles to check their documents. Because I went out to play, I didn't know when I wanted to buy something on a whim. In many parts of Japan, holding a China passport can reduce taxes. Japan is ok. If you are in America, some shops can only buy things if foreigners show your ID card. Otherwise you won't be allowed to buy it.
What clothes to prepare abroad mainly depends on which month you went out. If you are enjoying cherry blossoms and red leaves, I personally suggest wearing a sweater, taking a replacement with you, breathable and comfortable, and adding a coat. If you go in summer, it goes without saying that you can dress as cool as possible. In winter, in fact, winter in Japan is really not cold. I just need to wear a shirt and coat.
Pay attention to remind two things. First, be sure to wear two pairs of comfortable and breathable shoes. Because you may have to go for a long time. In my experience, the daily distance is about15km. If you have no idea about this distance, then it is about 25,000 steps. Here's a concept. If you go to a place like Lanshan, there may be more. Second, you'd better take an umbrella. Although the weather forecast in Japan is extremely accurate, the weather in Japan is very changeable, so it is necessary to take a folding umbrella with you. If the umbrella in China is too heavy, buy another one in Japan. You can buy it in all convenience stores.
What to prepare for personal belongings varies from person to person. If it is sensitive skin, be sure to bring your own cosmetics. Japanese hotels have shampoo, shower gel and conditioner, many of which belong to Shiseido. Personally, I basically use hotels. Of course, you can also go directly to the drugstore to buy a set after going to Japan. Before use, if you feel better, you can buy it directly and take it away.
Personal advice:
You'd better take a slipper. Although Japanese hotels have slippers, they are very uncomfortable to wear. Maybe it's because my feet are bigger (size 45). When I was staying at Marriott on business, I found the slippers of Marriott and Renaissance Hotel particularly comfortable, so I brought several pairs. I found it comfortable to use when I went abroad.
Remarks:
Speech has nothing to do with Japan. Just for personal experience. If a friend goes to America, you must remember to bring all your personal belongings. Because American hotels only have towels and shower gel. It seems that some hotels don't even have shower gel. Also, many friends who go to America have stomach upset and can't drink cold water with them. American hotels don't have hot water bottles. There is only one coffee machine. This means that you can only make one cup of coffee. A friend of mine takes an electric kettle with him every time he goes abroad. Japan has it, so don't worry.
rule
Japan is a highly civilized country, and basically everyone strictly abides by various orders and norms. Not like at home. So when you come to Japan, no matter what happens, please remember that you are from China. Although China people's reputation abroad is not so good. But please note that you are not alone abroad, you represent our country. You broke the rules. People won't say you are xxxx, but the person from China is xxxx. Remember. Should I put this sentence in front? The following are some rules of Japan, please abide by them consciously. There is nothing wrong with making a mistake, and people will hate it again.
1 & gt； Japan is different from our country. Everyone drives on the left. I may not be used to it when I first went, but I got used to it after two days. After getting used to it, I can't adapt to it after returning home. Everyone will realize this very deeply when taking public transportation such as subway. Needless to say. And if you take the subway in Japan once, you will be shocked by Japan's respect and observance of order. And the traffic instructions in Japan are also very clear. If you go up the stairs to the right, you will find up and down directions on the stairs. If you follow the instructions, you can't go wrong.
2> Japan has one of the highest smoking rates in the world. Maybe the main reason is too much pressure. But smoking is not allowed in most places in Japan. If you are a heavy smoker, you can find some corners. There will be some vending machines to buy cigarettes. This is usually a smoking area. There are also many public places specially set up smoking areas. It is easy to find, obviously;
3> basically you can't eat it in all the means of transportation in Japan. Of course, the Shinkansen can also be used. After all, they are all long-distance buses. And there are things to buy on the Shinkansen. But remember, eating is absolutely forbidden on trams, JR, subways and buses. There are many food stalls in Japan, especially during festivals, but you can't eat on the road in Japan. You can't eat mutton kebabs while walking, as in China. So the best way is to stand by and eat. After eating, throw the rest of the garbage into the trash can. There are many places where garbage disposal is concentrated. ;
You can't make a phone call in the car in Japan. The tram in Japan is very quiet, and everyone speaks in a low voice. Trams and subways in Japan have priority seats, and you need to turn off your mobile phone near the priority seats. The reason is very simple, there will be hints, that is, many people will install pacemakers, and radio waves will interfere with pacemakers;
5> Do you know why China tourists are not welcome? The first is not following the rules. In fact, sometimes this can't be weird. After all, you are in a strange place and all your habits are different. Another reason is that China people like to talk loudly, expose their privacy loudly, and are constantly persuaded by others. I have heard many such comments in America and Japan. Wherever China people go, the decibel will increase sharply. Therefore, in foreign countries, please reduce the decibel when speaking;
6> There are few garbage bins in Japan, and the garbage sorting in Japan is the best in the world, which can be said to be the most abnormal. Trash cans can only be found in front of vending machines and supermarkets.
Personal advice:
So the best way is to carry a bag before going out and then put a garbage bag in it. Take any rubbish with you and throw it away after returning to the hotel;
7> You must soak in hot springs when you go to Japan. If it is a public hot spring, please follow the rules of soaking in hot springs. No matter indoors or outdoors, swimmers can't get away from it. When we watch anime or Japanese dramas, we will find that some Japanese people put towels on their heads when they soak in hot springs. This is because towels are not allowed to be brought into the swimming pool, and it is also to reduce the spread of germs. Before taking a bath, the Japanese should clean it before entering the pool, so there are small pots and stools at the entrance of Japanese hot springs. In addition, if your hair is very long, don't immerse it in water, because it will bring trouble to others. Most Japanese like to be quiet. After a hard day's work, they want to relax and enjoy themselves, so try not to make noise or play with water when soaking in hot springs.
There are still many friends who like tattoos, which is nothing, but in Japan, only underworld people like tattoos, and people with tattoos are generally considered underworld. So tattoos are not allowed in public toilets. The reason is that it will cause inconvenience to other guests. If a friend with a tattoo encounters this situation, please understand.
What is the biggest headache when going out to go to the bathroom? This is the bathroom. In China, if necessary, we will first look for KFC, McDonald's and Pizza Hut. Don't be afraid in Japan, because there are many toilets in all tourist attractions. And basically there is toilet paper. We shouldn't worry about this problem. Although Japan is not like China, there may be McDonald's opposite KFC. But don't worry in Japan, all convenience stores have toilets and use them for free. 7 1 1, the whole family Rosen, can be said to be everywhere in Japan. So don't even think about it. There are many Chinese characters in Japanese toilets, please remember. If you see WC, the toilet, this is the bathroom, if you see the lounge, this is also the bathroom, if you see mitarai, this is also the bathroom. Don't miss it.
Souvenirs The souvenirs mentioned here are different from the local products mentioned above. The souvenirs mentioned here are mainly food for relatives and friends. Everyone knows that Japan is a country of delicious food. Japan became a colony of European and American powers from the Meiji Restoration and was directly taken over by Americans after World War II. So there are many unique snacks in Japan. At the same time, they absorbed many European and American cultures, and under the influence of China culture, they produced many delicious foods with their own characteristics. Here are some of the most popular products in China. Some can be bought directly at the airport, but there are also many limited products that cannot be bought directly at the airport.
The first white lover
This is a specialty of Ishigaki, Hokkaido. It's sweet and delicious, and there are various packages for customers to choose from. Although the products of Stone House are not only white lovers, you can buy white lovers as long as you are not in Hokkaido. When I first went to Japan, my friend asked me to take some back to her. I said I had eaten it before and I was addicted to it. I have to buy it. At that time, I searched all over Tokyo, only Tokyo Station, Narita Airport, Haneda Airport and Tokyo Station were because of another Hokkaido product exhibition. If I have another chance, I can try other stone house products in Hokkaido. Sorry, I didn't have a chance to taste other products either. Next time you go to Hokkaido, you must update it.
Friendly reminder:
When buying white couples in Japan, you must pay attention. I don't know if it's fake or spoof. In Japan, you can see many versions of lovers, such as lovers in Taiwan Province, lovers in Osaka, lovers in Kyoto, and even a product called White Lovers. Friends who are familiar with Japanese know that white Chinese characters written in Japanese mean conscious and fun.
Second Tokyo banana
Basically, there are all airports. You can see the restrictions on department stores and airports. You can check all the products on the home page, and you can also see the reference price. You can also find some limited products.
Third matcha products
There are many matcha products in Japan, and many matcha products are local restricted products, such as matcha cake and matcha ice cream. These are not available at airports and many department stores. You can buy some for yourself or take them back to your friends, but matcha products are basically soft and fragile. It is recommended to buy them at the airport, although there may be fewer varieties.
The fourth eight _
Famous Kyoto products are sold in Kansai Airport and major supermarkets, and there are many manufacturers to choose from, such as Xiwei, _ _ Hospital and Shaft. It's all the same smell, and I personally don't feel any different. And eight ツ _ is also divided into two types, one is
Soft glutinous rice is delicious with stuffing. But the shelf life is very short, about two weeks.
The other is hard and has a long shelf life.
Whether in duty-free shops at the airport or in any tourist attractions in Japan, people mainly eat special products when they buy them. The problem that must be paid attention to is the shelf life. I wasted a lot of money because of negligence. Because of the nature of work, I often travel, and many things are overdue when I come back. For example, white lovers, which are very popular among China people, seem to have a shelf life of only two months, while bananas in Tokyo have a shorter shelf life of only a few weeks. You must buy Yatu Bridge when you go to Kyoto. There are two kinds of Yatu Bridge. One is called St. Hachi, which is soft and waxy. This shelf life is also very short, and the other one is much longer. If you send a friend, it is recommended not to buy Shengba Bridge.
