The network is smooth, navigation and inquiry are convenient, and you can also share your travel details at any time! 🔌 Plug converter: Japan's plug standards are unique, so bring an adapter to ensure that all your electronic devices can be used. Don't find out that it can't be charged when you arrive, that would be embarrassing. 🆔 Certificates: Passport, visa, driver's license (if you need to rent a car), these important documents must be brought with you. Make a copy as well, just in case. 👚 Clothing selection: If you are going to Japan in January, remember to bring a warm coat and comfortable shoes. When visiting shrines and temples, appropriate clothing can help you blend into the local culture. 🔋 Charger and power bank: Taking photos and recording videos consume a lot of power, so chargers and power banks are lifesavers. Keep your phone fully charged anytime, anywhere. 💰 Cash and Credit Cards: Although cashless payment is popular in Japan, it is safer to have some cash on hand. Bring your credit card with you to make shopping more convenient. . ✈Come and plan your trip to Japan and experience its unique culture and customs!
