What does it take to be a Japanese tour guide?

First of all, you need to apply for a tour guide qualification certificate. You need to call a tour guide management center or a travel agency within 3 years before you can change it into a tour guide card (IC card), otherwise it will expire. (After changing the IC card, you need to pay the annual review money every year, and it will be invalid if you don't review it for three years. )

However, neither the ordinary tour guide card nor the Japanese tour guide card can take a tour group to Japan, and only foreign guests or domestic tour groups can be brought in China. Traveling abroad requires a tour guide card, and most provinces need a tour guide card to take the tour guide card. Please refer to the regulations of the local tourism bureau for details.

And generally, only travel agencies with exit qualifications can get a tour guide card. If you want to go to Japan, you need this travel agency to have a Japanese route.
