When traveling to Japan, transportation expenses in Japan account for a large proportion of expenses.

For example, the JR Yamanote Line in downtown Tokyo is equivalent to the Second Ring Road in Beijing, with a starting price of 140 yen (7.5 yuan).

However, if you know the following ways to save money when traveling to Japan, you will not only have a great time but also save a lot of money.

1. Buy a JR PASS coupon.

28,300 yen.

You can buy it on domestic Taobao with discounts.

Within 7 days of entry, all JR lines are free, including the Shinkansen.

A useful tool for independent travel in Japan, it is only available to short-term foreign tourists. You can ride on unreserved seats and reserved seats on all JR railways, namely the Shinkansen (except NOZOMI, the Shinkansen Nozomi, and MIZUHO Mizuho, ??and you cannot ride on the green carriages)

GREEN CAR (first class), JR Bus Company urban routes and some JR Expressway bus services.

If you want to go to so many places in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, JR PASS is obviously a good deal. Using JR PASS to take the Shinkansen back and forth between Tokyo and Osaka is actually worth the fare. The one-way ticket price for unreserved seats on the Tokyo to Osaka Shinkansen is 13,240 yen.

, the Japan Rail Pass is 28,300 yen (1,450 yuan) for a regular pass with a 7-day validity period.

But if you don’t travel to Japan’s suburban attractions, this JApass coupon is a bit overkill.

The average daily cost of JR PASS is RMB 200.

One-day bus tickets in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto and other places only cost RMB 30-60, and tickets from Tokyo and Osaka to nearby places such as Kyoto, Nara, Kobe and Nagoya only cost RMB 50 or 60, so in the city

Using JR inside is indeed a bit overkill, but of course it doesn’t hurt to use it if you are on your way.

JR PASS is not available in Japan and must be purchased domestically in advance.

What you buy in China is just a certificate (it is available on Taobao, and you need the pinyin and gender of your name when buying). In Japan, you can use your passport by going to major JR stations in Japan to exchange for the card. The Taobao seller will also include a station for exchanging tickets.

List, you can exchange for JR PASS tickets at the JR Ticket Center on the B1 floor of Building 2 of Narita Airport (note that you are on the 1st floor after picking up your luggage).

JR PASS has corresponding passages at the entrance and exit of each JR station, and you can pass with a signal.

JR PASS can be divided into several types according to the area of ??use: national pass, east and west, etc. The use date of the national pass is divided into three types: 7th, 14th and 21st. Not every city's JR is so convenient.

If the itinerary is not 7 days, you will need to buy additional tickets for the remaining days (it is not recommended to buy a 14-day ticket, which is much more expensive than a 7-day ticket, and no one will travel long distances all the time).

When using JR PASS to take a Shinkansen express train, you can go to the ticket window to reserve a seat, or you can board the train without a reservation and sit on the unreserved seats. Each train generally has several unreserved seat carriages, and the seats are not assigned, but reserved seats

Seats must be reserved.

I think it’s better to sit in a non-reserved seat when carrying luggage. There is a little space behind the last row of seats in the non-reserved seat car. You can put big boxes there. You don’t have to move them around, and it’s also convenient to look after.

Second, you can take a train or bus from the airport to downtown Tokyo.

Taking a taxi from Narita Airport to the city costs 2,400 yuan!

!

Don’t be afraid, there are many means of transportation from the airport to the city.

1. Port Limousine (Chinese name: Limousine) is an airport bus. The advantage is that it can take you directly to the entrance of a well-known hotel (you need to confirm in advance), without having to drag your luggage on and off the bus.

After completing the immigration formalities at Narita Airport, you will be on the first floor. There is a bus ticket office in the lobby on the first floor. The ticket price is 3,000 yen, which is ten times the price of the Capital Airport bus. This price is already considered low in Japan (if there is one)

JCB credit cards usually offer a discount of 3,000 yen x 70%).

There is also a 1,000 yen bus, but it only goes to Tokyo Station.

2. A better option is to buy the Suica&NEX package at the travel service centers of Narita and Haneda airports. It is issued by JR Company. Japanese are not allowed to buy it. It is only sold to foreigners. The price is very affordable. The package price is 5,500.

Yen per person, including round-trip tickets on JR's Narita Express from the airport to various stations along the line, and comes with a ￥2,000 Suica electronic card (available amount 1,500 yen, 500 yen deposit, balance refundable

, minus the 210 yen handling fee).

The Suica card is an IC card that can be used to travel on metropolitan subways, buses and JR within Tokyo.

The JR Narita Express takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes to get to Shinjuku, Tokyo. Different trains arrive at different places. Some go directly to Ikebukuro. If the place you go to is not on the red line, you need to take other rail transit to get where you want to go.

hotel.

Seats on the Narita Express are assigned for the entire journey. When you purchase, the conductor will help you select your ticket from the airport to the hotel. However, for your return ticket from the hotel to the airport at the end of your journey, you need to reserve it yourself at the ticket office of the JR station.
