You can prepare several software on your mobile phone when traveling, especially when going abroad. Here are some software related to travel. You can go and see which software is more suitable.

Transportation

Japan’s transportation routes are complicated and criss-crossed, and it takes a lot of time to study the routes yourself. Map App can find the best route in the shortest time, conveniently and quickly. In most cases, Google Maps will suffice. If the route planned by Google Maps doesn't work as expected, you can also use Yahoo! Or a second search in a Japanese transfer case.

1. Google Maps

Reason for recommendation: The best overseas map app, supports Chinese input

Google Maps is a powerful tool necessary for travel. Its intuitive map interface, support for Chinese input, and concise and clear route planning make Google Maps very easy to use. In addition to navigation, detailed map information is a big plus. In addition to clearly marking subway exits, some large shopping malls in some cities even have simple floor plans.

Google Maps is not available in China, but it can be downloaded. After arriving in Japan, you can mark your planned destination as "Where you want to go". The operation is simple and clear at a glance.

2. Yahoo! Japan

Reason for recommendation: An accurate map of Japan suitable for niche in-depth travel.

For some niche areas that are not popular for tourism, the accuracy of Yahoo Japan Maps is even higher than that of Google. In addition to basic navigation and indoor maps, it can also publish the latest information such as weather and traffic delays caused by accidents in real time, allowing you to avoid bad weather and congested road sections when planning your trip. The disadvantage is that it requires Japanese or Japanese-English pinyin input, and it needs to be downloaded from a Japanese app store, so the threshold for use is high.

3. In the transfer case

Recommendation reason: Japanese map where traffic preferences can be set in detail.

The transfer case supports Chinese input. The biggest highlight is that you can set transportation preferences in detail, such as from Tokyo to Osaka. You can set up stopovers, specify departure/arrival times, and set your preferences for Shinkansen, airplanes, highway buses, and other transportation options. In "More Settings", you can even set the walking speed in detail.

Food Category

How to quickly identify popular restaurants around Japan? Where can you find the most secret tunnel pavilions? What food in a restaurant would you regret not trying? With the following three food apps, you can easily do it.

1. Tabelog Food

Reason for recommendation: The food review app with the most users in Japan

Tabelog is a popular food app in Japan. You need to switch after arriving in Japan. Go to the Japanese appstore or download it. The simple way is to use the Chinese web version of tabelog. Visitors can search based on the location, type and popularity of restaurants, and can also see whether some restaurants have vacancies and whether they support reservations. If you are lucky enough to find a restaurant with a score of 4 or above, congratulations, you will definitely have delicious food to enjoy.

2. Leti

Reason for recommendation: User’s real-name comments, looking for the midnight artifact.

Retty is a 20-year-old food review website in Japan. Its mobile application is similar to tabelog. If you have any questions about tabelog's "family opinion", you can open Retty again for confirmation. Retty requires users to register with their real names, so food reviews are more authentic and credible. To download, switch to the Japanese AppStore.

3. Public opinion

Reason for recommendation: Quickly find popular restaurants that suit Chinese tastes.

Due to the unstoppable boom in travel to Japan, domestic tourists have accumulated a large number of user reviews on restaurants in Japan, a popular tourist destination. Relying on Dianping, we can quickly find restaurants and food that are more in line with the tastes of Chinese tourists. For tourists who have no basic knowledge of Japanese, this is also a gourmet app without any barriers.

Practical Tools

The following recommendation is a Chinese App specially developed to meet the travel needs of Japanese tourists. There is no language barrier for Japanese tourists to use it, which is in line with their travel and mobile phone usage habits. Real-time translation, exchange rate conversion, and shopping discounts, these three apps can remove obstacles to overseas travel and make your trip to Japan smoother.

1. There is a translation.

Reason for recommendation: It’s like carrying a name translator with you.

With the help of translation apps, language barriers will be greatly eliminated. A translator can not only translate input Chinese characters into Japanese, but can also "shoot and translate" at any time, that is, translate Japanese captured by the camera into Chinese. With the help of the phone's microphone, direct bilingual voice translation can also make Chinese-Japanese conversations smooth.

2. Lowest exchange rate

Reason for recommendation: One-click conversion based on real-time exchange rate.

It is convenient for tourists to quickly check the exchange rate when traveling and shopping in Japan. Not only can you convert Japanese yen and RMB based on the real-time exchange rate, you can also see the historical exchange rate curve and the exchange rates of various banks, helping tourists understand the latest exchange rate conditions anytime and anywhere.

3. Shopping in Japan

Recommendation reason: Scan the QR code to compare prices and download coupons.

When shopping in Japan, just use the "Japan Shopping Scan" app to scan the QR code of the product, and you can see the price of the product on different e-commerce platforms. When visitors purchase major appliances, they can judge whether it is cost-effective to place an order or even bargain. In addition, the App also has many shopping coupons that can be downloaded and used, and the title of "money-saving assistant" belongs to it. If you buy a lot of things at the drugstore, you can also use the app's shopping list function to avoid missing items.
