What's interesting about Japan? This should be one of the concerns of everyone. Japan is a long and narrow pirate country, adjacent to us. Enjoy the marine monsoon climate. In this way, different places in Japan will have different scenery all year round. In spring, you can see cherry blossoms, in summer, there are summer festivals and fireworks festivals, in autumn, you can see maple leaves, and in winter, you can enjoy the sunshine in Okinawa and the beautiful snow scene in Hokkaido.
If you are a fan of animation and games, this place can almost be said to be paradise. If you are a lover of digital products, you can always find what you want here. If you like Japanese food, here is the most authentic Japanese food.
At the same time, there are many cultural relics and well-preserved customs and cultures in Japan. If we know some Japanese culture, we can deeply appreciate the profoundness of our ancient culture.
How to Go to Japan At present, there are two formal ways to go to Japan, one is a cruise and the other is a direct flight. According to personal hobbies, but if it is a cruise ship, many of them are connected with Japan and South Korea. Cruise ships spend most of their time at sea. Although the distance between our two countries is quite close, the cruising time will be very long. And cruise ships basically just stay in one city for one day. My friend chose a cruise ship for her wedding trip. They say it has a different taste. Forget the plane.
The problem of cost should also be the most concerned issue for friends who have never been to Japan. If you don't care about this problem, please ignore it.
If you are with a group, basically the biggest expense has been solved, and the rest depends on what you buy. This is mainly for friends who travel freely.
Air tickets: Air tickets from Beijing to Tokyo are more expensive. Take Beijing to Tokyo as an example. Basically, the round-trip air ticket is almost 6000 RMB after tax. It will be cheaper if you make a reservation a little earlier. At the cheapest time, you can book a plane ticket of around 3000 yuan.
Accommodation: Compared with air tickets, accommodation should be another very big expense. For example, the basic cost of a room in a general hotel in Tokyo is about 10000J- 15000PY. There is no need to book in advance. The accommodation standard is similar to that of our hotel chain, but the environment is much better, cleaner and of course smaller. So it is much cheaper for several people to work together, because many hotels have standard rooms (twin beds) similar to those in China, and there are many rooms with three beds and four beds. If several children work together, there will be a lot of money left. Of course, if you have money, you can stay in hotels like Hilton and ANA Intercontinental. If you have no money or just sleep for two or three hours, you can also choose a capsule hotel. Hotels unique to Japan. Sparrows are small, but they have everything. In the early stage, it basically remained at around 3000JPY.
Accommodation must be booked in advance. It will save you a lot of money, because I was delayed in going last year, so I had to book a relatively cheap hotel and stay at JAL Hotel in Osaka for 20000JPY a night. That hurts. The room is still a mess.
Eating: It depends entirely on one's spending power. Because one is very interested in Japan and Lamian Noodles, Lamian Noodles must eat in Japan. The price in Lamian Noodles is basically kept between 600- 1200JPY. Of course, there are more expensive ones. Lamian Noodles, the most expensive place in Tokyo, has to make an appointment in advance to buy a bowl of 30000JPY. The other is pork chop rice and tempura. The price is basically the same as that of Lamian Noodles.
It is impossible to go to Japan without sushi. For sushi, you can try Japanese sushi. The price is absolutely fair and reasonable. If you don't want to eat sushi, get up early in the morning and go to Tsukiji market, where you can be late for the freshest sushi and the freshest sashimi. And the price is reasonable. If you want to eat the best sushi, you can try the best sushi in the world at the sushi god introduced below.
Crab, Kani Daole, a famous crab restaurant in Japan, where you can eat all kinds of crab dishes. Including baking, soup making, cooking, raw eating, hot pot and so on. Almost one person is about 6000JPY. Suggest a set meal.
Barbecue, which is also one of the two places that many wage earners in Japan often wait after work, is very cool while eating barbecue and drinking beer. Many places are marked with barbecue, which is similar to our self-help. You can let go of your belly and eat, which is about 100JPY. Of course, if you go to eat Kobe beef, you may not get a month's salary when you are full.
In terms of drinks, vending machines can be seen everywhere in Japan, and the prices of drinks inside are not bad. Basically, coffee is 100JPY, and other drinks are around 120- 150JPY.
Transportation: basically don't take a taxi in Japan, because it's easy to bankrupt you. For example, from Narita Airport to downtown Tokyo, it basically costs 20000JPY. Tokyo, basically the subway, tram and JR have all been solved. If it is an urban area, it is basically between 160-400JPY. There won't be too expensive tickets. If you think it is too much trouble to buy tickets, you can directly apply for a one-day card or something, which will save some expenses.
Tickets: This is actually an issue that I was very concerned about at the earliest. For example, in China, if you visit all the scenic spots, you will probably need 1000 RMB, because all the scenic spots have separate tickets except the ticket accident. If you want to go in, please pay. The idea of China people is to go in and have a look when you come. In this way, the cumulative number of tickets for scenic spots may be thousands. Take cherry blossom viewing in Tokyo as an example. Among the most famous cherry blossom viewing places in Tokyo, only Shinjuku Imperial Garden needs tickets. Guess how much the ticket is, 100JPY, which is the price of a can of coffee. In Kyoto, the cost will be high. Because there are many world heritages in many places, and the maintenance of these heritages requires money, entrance fees will be charged. In some places, there are special exhibitions of national treasures, and tickets will be collected. There will be visits in some places, and tickets will be collected here, but don't be afraid, the price will basically remain at around 500JPY.
Japanese visa processing must first popularize a basic knowledge. It is that many people will confuse the concepts of visa and passport. First of all, a passport is an official symbol that a person is a citizen of a country, similar to the ID card of each of us. Passport is the only proof that you are from China abroad and that the embassy will help you. A visa is a proof that you can visit another country temporarily or permanently with a China passport. Similar to the Hong Kong and Macao Pass.

If you want to enjoy a single visa for multiple visits to Japan, you can apply for an Okinawa visa, because if you can apply for a personal visa for multiple visits to Okinawa, and the first stop is Hokkaido or Okinawa, you can enjoy visa-free treatment for multiple visits to Japan for three years if you stay in Okinawa for one night. Isn't it cool? Of course, this visa requires much stricter requirements, mainly economic proof. Proof of annual income of 250,000 is required. And it's a tax certificate, not a company certificate.
If you want to ask me if I can go to Japan on my own for a group tour visa, I'm sorry, I can't. If it is a group tourist visa, there is no way to enter the country alone. Must be with the team.
There are many questions about Japan in the question and answer. All visas are 15 days. If you want to stay in Japan for a few more days, you can. The answer is clear, no!
Others asked, can the team visa go back a few days later? The answer is also very clear, no!
