Some experiences:
First, transportation, Japan's traffic is relatively developed, the design is very user-friendly, trains, cars, and subways are integrated. There are also some package products for foreigners, but Japan's transportation is very expensive. The subway and bus stations are all over RMB 10 In our trip, the city is basically a JR train. The city is basically a subway and a bus. It is basically a taxi for departure and check-in. Japan's JR package is specially designed for foreign tourists. Chinese tourists can purchase it through many parade websites in China. The cellular network is one of the first choices. This product has been used for several days in a row, and it is also available for several days in a few days. This time we chose the products of the East Japan Sea and Hokkaido for 15 days in 15 days. The price is 19,000 yen, which is about 1140 yuan. It is very convenient and cost-effective to travel across cities. After the purchase is completed in the country, you need to go to the JR service center in each city in Japan for a confirmation card, including the time of use and the designated seat. It is convenient to use subway tickets in big cities like Osaka and Tokyo. Our subway ticket for Tokyo is also purchased in China. It is very convenient to travel by subway in Tokyo. Another product worth recommending is the Japanese watermelon card Suica card. (The Kansai has an ICOCA card, only in the Kansai region.) These two cards are a stored value card, similar to the Beijing card, which can be used in the subway. It can be used in buses and supermarkets. This card can also be purchased in China. It can be recharged in subways and supermarket chains in various cities in Japan. If you leave Japan, you can also refund the card, but you must charge a certain fee. With this card, you will be relieved. The queuing of subway stations and the difficulty of self-purchasing tickets due to language barriers. In short, the subway traffic is very OK, the service staff attitude is good, the train, subway and bus are very punctual.
Second, Japan's services and products
Consumption in Japan, whether it is food or shopping, value for money, one point for the price of goods, do not have to compare and consider the price of similar products, all services and product prices are more transparent, of course, in Japan to eat Michelin is Reservations must be made in advance, and some restaurants need to be booked several days in advance.
