Which industry has the most Chinese people traveling to Japan?

What do Chinese people feel like living in Japan?

Let’s talk about material aspects first:

As for eating, as long as you are used to Japanese food, nutrition, safety, etc. are definitely not a problem. The only drawback is the monotonous diet. Be it Japanese food or Chinese food, if you eat it once, you will really like it, but if you eat it too much, it will feel monotonous. If you eat it for four or five years, you will definitely not even want to go out to a restaurant. For chain fast food, you can eat well at public cafeterias for 600 to 700 yen, and more expensive restaurants often provide cheap lunches at noon. Since chain stores are dotted all over the city, you can basically find familiar restaurants wherever you go.

There are not many things to worry about when it comes to housing. You can rent a house for the rest of your life. Japanese houses are reasonably laid out, small and exquisite, and well managed. Not so much mess. As long as you don't live in a cheap wooden house from the 1970s or 1980s, there is nothing to worry about earthquakes. If you want to buy a house, it may actually be much cheaper than in Beijing. When you have worked for a long time and your income is stable, you will also take out a loan to buy a house in order to avoid taxes. Thirty to forty million yen can buy a pretty nice house outside Tokyo. Either a two-story building with a garden and a garage, or a high-rise building with an earthquake-proof structure and parking spaces. Japan's residential loan interest rates are not high and second-hand housing transactions are very complete, so renting and buying is also a good choice.

In terms of environment, it is so much better than Beijing that it is incomparable. The air in the suburbs is better than in my prairie.

In terms of transportation, there is nothing much to say about the three major cities. Subway buses are scattered everywhere, so you can go wherever you want. But outside the three major cities, not having a car means having no legs. Fortunately, second-hand cars in Japan are not expensive, and you can buy a used RX-8 with one month’s salary. Compared to China, there are very few speeding and drunk driving violations. As long as you obey the traffic rules, there is really nothing to worry about. Gasoline prices have risen sharply recently, to 160 yen per liter, but you can still find prices of 150 yen per liter in the suburbs.

In terms of medical care, the National Health Insurance provides a deduction of up to 70%, and you only need to pay up to 30%, and there is an upper limit. If you are used to taking traditional Chinese medicine, there are also pharmacies, and medicines not sold in Japan are allowed to be imported by individuals. In terms of first aid, ambulances and fire trucks work together (to avoid being unable to open the door or in case of a fire with injured people in need of rescue). Most cities have a 7-minute declaration - we will definitely be there in 7 minutes.

In terms of safety, I usually leave the door unlocked when I go out. No one will touch the delivered parcels if they are stuffed in the mailbox. Even if it is a storm, umbrellas thrown outside will not be stolen. . As for the bosozoku underworld? They will avoid you when they see that you are a foreigner. (The reason is that in the past decade or so, Chinese underworld and some Chinese in Japan have frequently committed vicious crimes. Since 1989, the vicious crime rate among foreigners in Japan has basically been the first. For example, the Kobayashi Seiryu Sword incident in 1994 and the Sumiyoshi Kai assassination in 2002 Incidents such as the Fukuoka massacre in 2003, the recent Chinese student hitting a high school girl on the head with a brick in an attempt to rape and murder, and the Ikebukuro kidnapping incident all left a deep impression on the Japanese. In order to avoid trouble, gangsters, etc. I will avoid you when I know you are not Japanese)

On the Internet, Japan’s network is very developed. It costs about 4,000 yen per month for 100Mbps optical fiber or LTE with no traffic limit. If you need it, you can now connect to 2Gbps. Fiber optics are available. Typically, downloading is not illegal. Even after the new copyright law is implemented, it is only illegal to intentionally download pirated music and movies that have registered copyrights in Japan and someone reports it with evidence. To put it simply, except for some software that blocks overseas IP addresses, all the "freedoms" found in China are available here.

In terms of consumption, Japan can easily buy most foreign goods. The Chinese version of games in Hong Kong, knitting in Southeast Asia, orthodox curry in India, horseshoes made in obscure blacksmith shops in Europe, and steamed bun pies in China. If you want to drive a German car, it will be imported for you. If you want to buy American sneakers, eBay will buy it. Want to eat hot Brazilian barbecue... This is a bit difficult, but for your income, the cost of air tickets is nothing. In a sense, you are not coming to Japan, but to the outside world.

In terms of income and taxes, daily expenses take up a very small proportion of your income. As long as you don't indulge in eating, drinking and having fun, the chance of becoming a moonlight family is not high. For Chinese people who love to save, almost everyone can save a sum of money. The tax is slightly higher, but the range of exemptions can be very large. For example, the resident tax, which accounts for 10% of your income, can be almost completely exempted if you fill in the dependent list with 7 people. There are even more ways to avoid tax when opening a company (please consult a tax accountant for details). Japan is a society that encourages consumption. For Japanese people, consumption is a virtue. Rather than paying so much tax, it’s better to spend it as quickly as possible for yourself. Glass glasses costing 70,000 yen each in high-end shopping malls are still bought by people to avoid tax. If you don’t plan to stay in Japan, which accounts for the bulk of the national pension (pension), you can apply for a refund when you leave.

Government subsidies. When you encounter an accident, the government subsidizes you. When you have a new child in your family, the government subsidizes you. If you are short of money, the government will lend you money or even subsidize you. If you think it's unfair, you can find a lawyer and sue the government. The government will not bully you, it will only please you.

Let’s talk about the spiritual aspect:

When you come to Japan, you face two choices, either integrate into the Chinese circle or integrate into Japanese society. In most cases, these two circles conflict with and exclude each other. I want to be stable and live a Chinese-style life with Chinese people. I want to be progressive and mix with Japanese people in Japanese social circles.

Japanese social circles can be well summarized in one word: mala, which is social rules, overt and covert, legally stipulated or people silently abide by them. There are too many. rules. At least if you abide by the rules, the Japanese can let down their guard and interact with you. Whether in life or in the workplace.

Language-wise, Japan is a society where even a mute can live well. Most Japanese are introverts. They can go to the supermarket to buy groceries or a convenience store to buy alcohol without talking. This is also an important reason why I always think it is difficult for foreigners to learn Japanese.

I don’t know what your hobbies are, but almost all of your interests can be found in Japan. Japan's material life is very rich, so most people have time to cultivate various spiritual hobbies. Climbing mountains, playing ball, riding cars, singing, everything is formal and professional. It can range from the Guinness record of Olympic champions in sports, national instruments, to the petty things such as collecting bottle caps, eating hot dogs and collecting underwear from high school girls. Because it’s professional, you won’t get bored.

In terms of ideology, most Japanese people have no interest in politics. It is so exaggerated that Naoto Kan has been prime minister for a month, and some people think that the prime minister is Yasuo Fukuda. But Japan is a country with freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of thought. It is not unusual to see the OO Church on the tram preaching about the end of the world, and those who believe in me will have eternal life, or the Happiness Realization Party wants to liberate North Korea and build an undersea tunnel that leads directly to Europe. Scholars and professors who have studied politics have a variety of different opinions because of freedom of thought. Some can get to the point where you think he is a "Japanese rapist".

Personal development:

Japan is a treasure trove of knowledge, and the culture of professionalism has created all of this. If you want to continuously improve yourself through learning, Japan would be an ideal choice. Even if you think the Japanese books you read are second-hand knowledge, if you want to get first-hand information, you can easily get it.

In terms of personal cultivation, meditation, music, and martial arts are all available.

What is not ideal is the lack of opportunities to become rich and famous overnight, because the society is really highly mature.

Japan’s permanent residence or nationality requirements are not high and can be used as a springboard for immigrating to Europe, the United States, Hong Kong and Macao.

Most Japanese people are well-educated and have considerable accumulation in professional fields. If you chat more often, you will gain a lot.

If I keep saying this, I will be called a spiritual Japanese by netizens, so I still have to say something bad.

The Japanese are too formalistic and have to speak in appropriate ways at all times. Although this is their habit, it will make the Chinese feel alienated. Even if you hold an insignificant meeting, the Japanese can write three pages of densely packed thoughts for you. Many times their activities make us feel childish and ridiculous, but they still enjoy it.

As time goes by, you will feel that Japanese people are very facial-like. The tone of speaking, the reaction given, and the content of the conversation seem to have been seen somewhere. It seems that there is no difference between the Watanabe today and the Sato yesterday. . This is not only true for people, but also for the environment. Convenience stores in Tokyo and convenience stores in the countryside sell exactly the same things, have the same decoration, and use the same terminology. There are national chain convenience stores, chain restaurants, chain shopping malls everywhere, and even those selling tractors are chain stores. Every city has almost the same things, even the locations are right next to each other. It makes you wonder whether you are out of town or not.

Japanese society is really lifeless. There are no nosy aunts, no people who take the initiative to chat with you, no one will bother you, and there are very few emergencies. Everything is known. . Maybe you will feel great at first, but after a while, you will miss these interrupted times.

Japan’s business hours are very weird. Even government agencies open at 9:00 or 10:00 and close at 5:00 pm. They are also closed on weekends for holidays. Unfortunately, it happened to coincide with your working hours. I once had a package to send, but it took me more than a month to finally find a free time to send it.

Most restaurants are only open from 11 noon to 2 pm, and from 5 pm to midnight. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, I get hungry and want to find something to eat. There is really nothing to eat except fast food. of. The most outrageous thing is that ATMs are not open 24 hours a day...

The same goes for throwing out garbage. You need to buy garbage bags. They are usually special classified garbage bags in the city. You can throw out combustible garbage bags on Mondays and Fridays. , throw away cans on Tuesday, throw away plastic bottles on Wednesday, and throw away non-combustible bottles on Thursday. Bottle labels should be removed and the inside should be cleaned. Discarded newspapers should be bundled. Batteries and lamps should be thrown away at designated recycling points. Bulky garbage should be thrown away at the government Buy a permit and make an appointment to throw it out... Think of the horror of a bag of household waste having to sit in your shed for 3 or 4 days because you missed the 8:30am garbage collection time.

The furniture store does not deliver to your door by default, but it will lend you a small truck to transport it home. Of course, you have to drive it back and return it to your hotel...

Hotel or something Most of them are reservation-based, and most hotels are so exaggerated that you can't book a room on the spot.

The crows in the morning were very noisy, and they were huge crows. Even a cute little bird may bomb you in the air...

Once again, in the countryside, no car means no legs. It is not uncommon for the tram in the countryside to only run once a day! It’s not unusual for a city government to have no station close to it! Japanese cities are relatively scattered, and many stores are hidden in suburbs or in inaccessible alleys. There are no cars in the countryside, and your pain index skyrockets!

An inventory of 25 things about Japanese society that surprise foreigners

Japanese travel, shopping and food

1. Owning the oldest royal family in the world

Japan’s “Temporary Royal Family” is the oldest existing royal family in the world and has extremely important value overseas both historically and traditionally. If represented by a world power map, it would be the Emperor of Japan > King of Rome > Queen of England > President of the United States > Prime Minister of Japan.

2. The Japanese have a culture of being able to communicate without speaking

Pocket Monster Pikachu is also very popular in the United States. An American grandmother was very surprised after seeing Pikachu, because Pikachu cannot speak but has the ability to communicate with people. In American society, where everyone is self-assertive, the culture of "heart-to-heart" communication without the use of words is surprising.

3. There are many smokers, but there are also many people who live longer

Japan has the highest smoking rate among developed countries. Although anti-smoking and smoking regulations are becoming more and more strict, compared with other countries, there are still many places where you can smoke freely. Being able to smoke in a restaurant is unbelievable. With so many smokers, it’s surprising that Japanese people live so long!

4. Japanese people often talk about "I'm sorry"

Japanese people love to say "thank you" and "sorry". If you say it too much, it will inevitably make people feel insincere. . In the United States, where people often rely on litigation to solve problems, saying "I'm sorry" is equivalent to admitting one's fault, so people will not apologize easily. In American dramas, when you accidentally bump into someone, you usually don’t say “Im sorry”, but ask “Are you all right?”

5. Young Japanese girls use designer bags

Overseas, Generally young girls don’t use high-end bags, and the people who use them are usually either older women or real celebrities. It’s unbelievable that ordinary Japanese girls carry expensive designer bags.

6. The newspaper is delivered to your doorstep every day

No matter it is windy or rainy, the newspaper will be put into the mailbox on time every morning, and plastic bags will be carefully used on rainy days. The bag is packed well so no corner will get wet. In other countries, people generally go to the streets to buy newspapers by themselves. What a blessing it is to be able to read a newspaper in a warm and comfortable home every morning.

7. Women pay when eating out

When the whole family goes out to eat, it is often women who pay the bill. In Western families, men are generally responsible for accounting, so men often pay the bill when eating. Japanese women also have an AA relationship with their boyfriends when dating and do not take advantage of them. There is a funny true story of a female college student who felt like she was pregnant and asked a trusted friend what she should do at this time. An experienced friend gave her advice and said that if she still didn’t want a child, she and the man should pay half of the money to have the child.

8. The Japanese give cash

Whether it is a wedding or wedding, the Japanese are accustomed to wrapping cash in a special envelope to show their love. People in Western countries are very surprised, thinking how can they be so arrogant? They all give gifts or flowers, so romantic and elegant. However, newlyweds in the West make long lists of the things they want and give them to relatives and friends, and express what they want in a straightforward manner. Relatives and friends put a check mark behind items that are within their ability to bear, and this item is considered resolved. Which approach is better?

9. No religion, but keen on religious activities

Most Japanese people do not have a specific religion, but they go to shrines to pray and celebrate their children. They do not believe in Jesus. But Christmas is celebrated enthusiastically, the wedding is in the church, and the funeral is attended by monks.

10. Free facial tissues are distributed on the streets

On the bustling streets of Japan, there are various businesses giving away facial tissues to pedestrians. If it was just a flyer, everyone would reject it. So I put the flyer in a tissue paper and sent it to more people. As for whether to read the content or not, it’s up to you.

11. Breathtaking bento culture

Other countries generally do not have Japanese-style bento boxes, so they do not have bento culture. American parents stuff their children with sandwiches and apples in paper bags, thinking they are both nutritious and environmentally friendly. But when you open the lunch box that a Japanese mother prepares for her children, it is like a small magic box. Its beauty and exquisiteness sometimes make foreigners so surprised that they can't shut up.

12. You can drink tap water directly

This is a common thing all over Japan, but it is amazing in the world.

13. Bath culture

The Japanese are a famous people in the world who love bathing. After a hard day's work, soaking in the bath to slowly relieve the fatigue of the day is the most comfortable thing. The functions of home baths are also becoming more and more high-end, such as automatic temperature adjustment, automatic bath drying, and automatic heating and cooling of bath water, which are all fascinating. For most foreigners who only take showers, the culture of taking a bath to relieve fatigue is magical. Moreover, it is even more rare for people to see each other naked in public bathhouses such as hot springs and sento baths.

14. The underground of shopping malls is a paradise for food

There are usually food counters on the underground floor of Japanese shopping malls. Just looking at the beautiful display in the window and the rich variety of deli dishes, bento boxes and cakes makes people salivate. The eyes of the foreigners I had never seen before were shining, and they were busy taking pictures and tasting for free while walking, and they were very interested.

15. Taxi drivers wear ties

In foreign countries, very few taxi drivers wear ties. Even the dedicated drivers who drive luxury cars do not dress as formally as in Japan. . Japanese taxi drivers not only wear ties, but also wear white gloves. The interior of the car is covered with white seat covers, giving people a very clean and tidy impression.

16. Japanese women dress up well

Japanese women love to dress up and dress up, even ordinary clothes that they wear every day. There are world-famous fashion capitals abroad, and there are also many women who like to dress up very fashionably, but if ordinary women stand together and compare, Japanese women are better.

17. There are slippers in the toilet

Everyone may know that you must slip on your shoes before entering the room in Japan, but many people may not know that there are special slippers in the toilet. . When you first arrive in Japan, many foreigners may feel uncomfortable with the habit of taking off your shoes when entering a room and changing your shoes once when using the toilet.

18. Napping on the tram

The most people do two things on the tram, one is reading and the other is taking a nap. Maybe more and more people are playing with smartphones recently. Foreigners generally don't dare to take a nap on the tram because doing so will allow thieves to succeed. Not only do Japanese people take naps with confidence, but they also wake up automatically when they get off at the place where they should get off.

19. There is a "sound girl" in the women's restroom

When women go to the toilet, the "sound girl" automatically senses and plays the sound of running water to cover up the women's shyness. Except for Japanese women, foreign women don't seem to care about this.

20. Japan’s service is the best in the world

Even if you only buy a 100 yen bun at a convenience store, the clerk will wrap it for you and put it in a plastic bag without forgetting Then put in the wet wipes for hand wiping, arrange the handles in the most convenient way for customers to take them, smile and say "Thank you for coming", and finally bow.

21. Drinking in public places

In Japanese parks and other places, you can often see scenes of people drinking to their heart's content. In the past, at elementary school children's sports meets, the whole family would go to cheer together, and the fathers and grandfathers would drink and cheer for the children. Now is the perfect season for cherry blossom viewing. People spread out on blue mats under the cherry blossom trees and have a drink with their family or friends.

22. Eat well and still lose weight

For foreigners who are used to greasy food, eating Japanese food every day can not only keep them full, but also help them lose weight. I analyze that the main reason is that Japanese food is "slow food". Many ingredients such as vegetables and rice need to be chewed slowly. The chewing process is long, the satiety nerve is stimulated, and it is easy to feel full; one meal is rich in ingredients. , the digestion time is different from each other, and the satiety time is long; in addition, it is rich in dietary fiber, which can also produce a feeling of fullness; finally, when eating exquisite Japanese food, you will enjoy both physical and mental enjoyment, the brain will be benignly stimulated, and the feeling of satisfaction will continue Longer.

23. A cup of draft beer can buy a box of beer

Go to an izakaya to drink. The price of a cup of draft beer is about five to six hundred yen (about 30 yuan). For foreigners who come here for the first time It's quite surprising. However, this price is quite expensive for Japanese people. Japan's prices are among the most expensive in the world.

24. There are regulations for wearing short-sleeved shirts in summer

Uniforms are generally divided into two types, summer uniforms and winter uniforms. In addition, there are intermediate uniforms such as cotton/wool vests and other transitional uniforms. Japanese schools and companies have regulations that require summer uniforms to be worn from June 1st and winter uniforms from October 1st. Therefore, it is not surprising that the whole country changes clothes during these two days.

25. There is a beer garden on the roof

Japanese people like to drink bone-chilling draft beer in summer and enjoy delicious food while chatting with friends. Therefore, the cool and romantic beer garden with a wide view on the roof is a good place to talk about work and connect with each other. The beer in the beer garden is usually unlimited, and you can drink as much as you like. It is much more cost-effective than going to an izakaya, and it is naturally loved by more people.
