Guide to luggage preparation for studying in Japan in 2020

Do you know how to prepare luggage for students who choose to study in Japan? Presumably, many students have a lot of troubles about this and don't know where to start. Let's take a look at the luggage preparation guide for studying in Japan in 2020.

First of all, let's take a look at what we must bring to study in Japan.

Certificate category:

Seal, a small object with high usage rate in Japan, can be engraved with a hard seal of surname and full name according to the thickness of the little finger;

Passport, air ticket and visa to prove who you are, where you come from, where you are going, and whether you can get on the plane to enter the country;

Admission ticket and residence qualification, which prove that you are indeed a student enrolled by the school;

Photos of certificates, which are used to go through various formalities after arriving in Japan; Graduation certificate, degree certificate, achievement certificate, original and photocopy;

Electronic versions of other important documents do not take up space anyway, so try to carry them together.

Life category:

Drugs, although I don't want anyone to get sick, I still need to prepare a small amount of commonly used drugs for emergency and transitional use;

Voltage converter and dual-port plug-in are two items that must be mentioned in the preparation strategy before each version. If you want to continue to use electronic products purchased from China in Japan, these two items are necessary;

Books, electronic dictionaries and other school supplies are the only things that can't lose weight, although losing weight in the process of preparation before departure is the premise. It is best to buy books on study in China, which is not only expensive but also inconvenient in Japan, and electronic dictionaries are an important tool for students to learn Japanese.

Cash, bank cards, etc. Money is very important for you who are new to Japan (who isn't? ), eating, traveling, accommodation, and supplementing daily necessities are all needed;

Sundries, some small things you like can be carried with you, and there are not many requirements. In fact, many things can be bought in Japan. Since you bring money, such as toiletries, cosmetics, and small things that will be used in life, it is not recommended to take it with you on the plane.

Alternative category:

Clothes, snacks, etc. It seems important, but it's not that important. Just prepare according to your personal preferences (you can bring clothes in different seasons, and Japan is in no hurry to buy clothes);

Anything you buy to satisfy your desires in the name of starting school, the real purpose of electronic products is generally to play games and watch videos. The real purpose of boys and girls buying bags, shoes and clothes has nothing to do with learning. Of course, your parents won't mind. Accept your parents' love with gratitude, and finally study hard in Japan.

Never take things like "I thought it was a treasure before I went to Japan, but I found it was a burden when I arrived in Japan", including but not limited to bottles and cans that can't be used for a long time, all kinds of bedding that take up a lot of space, clothes that you think you like now but will be disgusted when you go to Japan all year round, and books that you suddenly bought with blood but never opened. ...

Then let's take a look at what we need to prepare before studying in Japan.

I. Booking air tickets

After obtaining the residence qualification certificate and applying for a visa from the local Japanese embassy or consulate, you can book a plane ticket to Japan. When booking a ticket, it should be emphasized that it is your first time to study in Japan, so the checked baggage can generally be adjusted to 30 kg.

Many schools have pick-up arrangements, so it is best to book according to the pick-up time of the school. It would be better if I had a companion to go to Japan! Make an appointment for nursing on the road.

Second, book a dormitory.

Some language schools have their own dormitories, while others need to rent houses. If there is a dormitory, I also suggest that students who have just gone abroad can live in the student dormitory, and it is safer to rent a house by themselves after getting familiar with a reliable guarantor six months later.

Bedding and other supplies can consult the school to see if it is recommended to bring them from China or buy them in Japan. It would be better if the school could buy it for you in advance ~ ~

Third, the departure time

If students book their own air tickets, please inform the school of the flight, date, time and arrival at the airport in time so that the school can arrange to pick them up.

I remind: * Haneda Airport is closest to the city center.

* Narita Airport has the most flights.

Fourth, carry things.

What you must carry with you is:

Passport, air ticket, admission ticket, certificate of staying in school, certificate of permission for extra-qualification activities, cash, black ballpoint pen, and your own small seal. The first five items need to be taken out during the entry inspection in Japan. It is suggested that large bills should be placed flat in the wallet, and should not be pinched or folded.

Others:

Take 4 spare 2-inch ID photos, and you don't need to take many. There are photo selfie machines everywhere in Japan, so you can take beautiful photos of your own when you need them.

Standing medicines are mainly first-aid medicines for treating colds and diarrhea. Japanese medicines have always enjoyed a good reputation, and there are many pharmacies. Other drugs can be bought in Japan, so you don't need to take many drugs to Japan, so as to avoid finding out excessive drugs when you enter the customs, and it will be troublesome to explain them then. Prescription drugs can't be taken casually, and English instructions are needed. In case the customs finds that there is no English explanation, it is estimated that it is not clear.

Switch plugs and transformers: the voltage in Japan is 1 10V, and the plugs are mainly double-ended flat holes, and very few are three jacks with two flat holes in one circle. The frequency in East Japan is 50Hz；; The frequency in West Japan including Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka is 60Hz. Please carry the transformer carefully.

Then, it is suggested to make a copy of the passport information page, entry permit and baggage retention certificate and put them in the checked baggage for emergencies.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) checked baggage

At present, it is the tourist season and the peak season for students to go abroad. Some airlines will require hand luggage and checked baggage to be weighed together, and overweight will be fined. You should take a large box (28 inches) or two medium boxes (22-24 inches) according to the regulations of the airline you booked the ticket, and tie an information card on the box, and write down the name, country, detailed address, contact telephone number and other information to avoid mistakes.

Six, enter the airport

Arrive at the airport 2 hours in advance and apply for boarding pass with passport and air ticket. Please show your passport when you walk to the customs checkpoint.

Seven, out of the airport

After getting off the plane, fill in the entry card and declaration form, go to the entry checkpoint, show your passport and other relevant documents, and find the checked baggage on the baggage conveyor belt after passing the inspection. If there is a pick-up teacher, he will wait for you at the exit with a card with your name on it or a banner with the name of the school on it. If you don't pick up the teacher, please determine the bus route and destination address in advance.

Eight, yen exchange

You can change some yen at home and take it with you. You can withdraw money at the ATM with UnionPay logo at the Japanese airport. It is recommended to apply for UnionPay cards for domestic and international withdrawals, with zero handling fee. If you need to exchange Japanese yen, you can exchange it at the foreign currency exchange point at the airport, which is also very convenient.

Nine, in Cary.

Foreigners who stay in Japan for more than three months will be issued residence cards. When you go out in Japan, you must take your card with you. If you don't bring it, it will be very troublesome to be asked by the patrol to show it.

When the contents recorded on the card change, it is necessary to report to the immigration bureau or the city service office in time.

Procedure:

1. When entering and leaving Narita Airport, Haneda Airport, Central Airport, Kansai Airport, new chitose airport, Hiroshima Airport and Fukuoka Airport, residence cards will be issued directly. After determining the place of residence in Japan, the cardholder must bring the residence card to the window of the city service center in the residential area for registration within 14 days.

2. When entering the country from places other than the above-mentioned airports, the entry-exit inspectors will stamp the passport with the seal of "Leave the card in the future". After registering in the window of the service center of the city where you live, the card will be mailed to the registered place of residence later.

International calls

Before going abroad, you can open international roaming in the business hall, and you can choose short-term international traffic packages. After arriving in Japan, you should immediately call your parents back or send a WeChat video to report your safety. When buying a telephone and application number in Japan for the first time, it is best to find a senior or a life teacher.
