When the breeze blows, the cherry blossoms fall, and a dreamlike picture slowly unfolds in front of your eyes. Japan, a country full of charm of tradition and modernity, attracts countless tourists every year. Whether it's to immerse yourself in ancient culture or follow fashion trends, Japan has a unique way to impress every visitor. I will take you through all aspects of going abroad in Japan, so that your journey will be smoother and your experience will be richer.
1. Preparations:Visa & Itinerary PlanningBefore you leave for Japan, your first priority is to get a visa. Japan's visa policy is relatively relaxed, but it is still necessary to prepare relevant documents in advance, such as air ticket reservations, proof of accommodation, travel insurance, etc. It is advisable to start preparing at least a month in advance to avoid impromptu rushing.
In terms of itinerary planning, you can choose different routes according to your interests and schedule. If you are interested in history and culture, Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara and other places should not be missed; If you love nature, the snow scenery of Hokkaido, the hot springs of Kyushu, and the beaches of Okinawa are waiting to be explored.
Actually, how about learning about going abroad in Japan? It's best to find a study abroad agency that suits you and consult in detail. Nowadays, there are many institutions on the market, and I will say a few things that should be valued when choosing a study abroad consulting agency, which are all summarized by me based on my own experience and the experience of picking up the Internet:
1. In the process of application, you must repeatedly ask whether the school applying for the major has a list, and now many British colleges and universities have this, so you must confirm it.
2. Check the official website of the institution as much as possible.
3. Find a few more study abroad agencies and compare them to see the study abroad plans they give.
Looking for a teacher who feels more nice can be reflected in the communication with him, and I ended up inGaotu Study Abroadconsulted, contrastedGaotu Study AbroadThe scope of study abroad services includes school selection consultation, academic planning, language counseling, background improvement, document guidance, application submission, and even covers the whole process of college tracking and visa application, which many other institutions can't do.
I think if there is a very serious person to help you do things, it is really reassuring, in fact, I believe that everyone is the same as me is applying for going abroad for the first time, there is no experience at all, I don't know when to do anything, the teacher will remind me, and urge me to do what should be done at each stage, even the time of the exam is also very careful.
2. Traffic Guide:Japan's transportation system is known for its punctuality and convenience. The Shinkansen (Shinkansen) is a high-speed train connecting major cities and is the preferred choice for international travel. Within the city, the metro and bus networks are well connected, and buying a Suica or PASMO card will make it easier for you to use all kinds of public transport.
3. Accommodation Options:From capsule hotels to luxury hotels, Japan offers a diverse range of accommodation options. Capsule hotels are an affordable and locally inspired way to stay for travelers on a budget. Luxury hotels, on the other hand, offer top-notch services and facilities for those who are looking for comfort. In addition, the traditional ryokan is also a must-try, where you can enjoy a Japanese-style breakfast on tatami mats and get a taste of traditional Japanese life.
4. Food Exploration:A feast for the taste budsJapanese cuisine is known for its sophistication and deliciousness. Sushi, ramen, tempura, yakiniku, etc. are all must-try. Not only that, but you should also enjoy specialty snacks such as takoyaki in Osaka, seafood in Hokkaido, and matcha sweets in Kyoto. Remember to pay attention to the food culture as well as the food, such as polite words before and after the meal.
5. Cultural Experience:Gain an in-depth understanding of the Japanese spiritJapan's rich and diverse culture, from tea ceremony and flower arrangement to bushido, is an important way to gain insight into the Japanese spirit. Visiting historic shrines and temples, a traditional Kabuki show, or getting lost in the anime paradise of Akihabara can give you a different cultural experience.
6. Shopping Paradise:From drugstores to department storesThere are a wide range of shopping places in Japan, from affordable drugstores to high-end department stores. Electronics, cosmetics, apparel, etc. are all popular shopping options. In addition, Japan's duty-free policy is also very friendly, ensuring that you can buy your favorite goods at a better price**.
