Travel tips: - In March, Japan's climate is mild and comfortable, but there's a large temperature difference between day and night, so remember to bring a thick coat🧥. - Japan is 1 hour ahead of China, so adjusting to the time difference is easy, no need to worry about jet lag😊. - Trying local cuisine is a major part of traveling. Sushi🍣, ramen🍜, and tempura🍤 are must-tries! - Pay attention to traffic rules. Pedestrians walk on the left🚶‍♀️, and drivers should yield to pedestrians🚗. - When shopping, check the voltage and plug type to avoid buying something you can't use back home🔌! A trip to Japan is not just about sightseeing, but also a cultural experience. I hope you discover more of your own stories in this land!
