Luggage preparation

1. Passport format photos, two-inch photos, and one-inch photos, 15 each (need to apply for student ID, health insurance, and retention card, later You also need to use it when looking for a part-time job and writing a resume). When going to the airport, please bring the originals of the certificate of eligibility to stay, the admission permit, the passport with the visa, and the air ticket with you so that they can be issued in time when going abroad and checking at airports in various places in Japan. Please keep a notebook with the phone numbers of classmates in Japan, school phone numbers, and addresses with you in case something goes wrong at the Japanese airport. There will also be teachers at the airport to pick you up. Generally, the domestic ID card is not needed. It is only needed for taking the train after getting off the plane after returning to the country. Copies of various certificates, why are they copies? In order to prevent loss, it is best to keep the original at home. If it is really needed abroad, you can also send it by EMS at home. For small pieces, the postage is not expensive. After all, it is better than losing it. It's much better.

2. Seal. This is very important for Japan, which requires a seal even if it does not sign. For example, applying for bank cards, mobile phones, national health insurance, permits for outdoor activities, etc. all require a seal. Exceptions are made in individual cases. It is recommended that you bring two identical seals in case you lose one and have a spare. Japanese seals are very expensive, and some places require the same seal.

3. Two-to-three conversion plug. The power jack in Japan has two holes and no three-hole power jack. Our computers basically require three-hole power jacks. Currently, I rarely see this type of product sold in Japan. Students who have just gone to Japan don’t know much about Japan. , so it is safer to bring one and it takes up almost no space.

4. UnionPay card, international credit card. You can keep this as a backup. UnionPay cards can be used to withdraw money directly in Japan. Some UnionPay cards are also free of handling fees, and you can withdraw 150,000 yen a day. Japan can also use China's online banking, so that it can be connected with domestic money at any time, which is very convenient.

5. Bring a few necessary books selectively. Because books account for a lot of weight, try not to put them in a box. You can put them in your own backpack and take them on the plane.

6. Necessary medicines, such as gastrointestinal medicines, cold medicines, anti-allergy medicines, band-aids, etc. If you get sick after the recent past and don’t know how to find a doctor, these will come in handy. Avoid being overwhelmed and overwhelmed.

7. Dried fungus, dried shiitake mushrooms, pickled mustard and the like. Bring some small seasonings, pepper, salt and pepper, etc., because Japanese cooking is relatively light in taste, and some Chinese people are not used to it. There is no need to bring salt and sugar, they are available in supermarkets and are not expensive. These things have one thing in common, that is, the weight is very light. Every time you eat, just soak a little bit and it can last for a long time. If the family conditions are not good, students will bring less living expenses. , these things can help a lot when eating. If you buy it there, your food expenses for a month can be reduced by more than half.

8. Electronic dictionary. Of course, you can buy this in the past. If you have one, try to bring it with you.

9. A suit and a pair of black high-heeled shoes (girls). Generally, formal attire is required during the entrance examination. And it's usually black. Underwear, underwear, socks and the like don't take up much space, so you can bring a few more. These things are still relatively expensive in Japan. It is enough to bring about three pieces of clothes for each season, because after going there for a long time, you will know where to buy suitable clothes, and if you earn money by working, you will buy better ones in Japan. When I went there, I only brought a few clothes that I would wear for a short period of time. After a few years, when I returned home, I saw that most of them were bought in Japan. Girls can bring two pairs of thick leggings, because the thick and velvet leggings worn in winter in China are not sold in Japan and South Korea. Because girls in Japan and South Korea often show their thighs in winter, and at most they wear stockings. I just got cold when I was abroad, but I am no longer afraid of the cold after I return home.

10. Bedding, in fact it is not recommended that you bring these. Quilts take up a lot of space. If you can't bring many other things because the quilt takes up space, you might as well bring more other things, or more expensive things sold in Japan.

There are also very cheap places to buy futons in Japan, such as ニトリ, ドンキホーテ, etc. Once you go there, you can find it quickly. Most supermarkets also have them, and it’s cheaper to buy them in sets. Everything else is prepared based on personal circumstances.

Notes are as follows;

1. Booking a dormitory: If you need to book a student dormitory, please apply to the school as early as possible and pay the reservation deposit. It is best to decide on bedding, bedding and other supplies at home.

2. Departure time: After confirming the flight ticket, you need to contact the school in time with the flight to Japan, date, time, arrival airport, etc. in order to arrange airport pick-up and other matters.

3. Cash storage: If you have a large amount of cash, do not keep it in the dormitory. It is best to deposit it in a bank. However, opening an account requires a seal, which must be prepared in advance.

4. Health insurance: Foreigners who plan to stay in Japan for more than one year must join the National Health Insurance. The amount of insurance varies by region. Foreign students generally need to pay about 1,500 yen per month.
