(2) Checked baggage:
Each airline generally limits it to about 20-25 kilograms, and international students can enjoy 30 kilograms of checked baggage. However, it is currently the peak season for tourism and students going abroad. Most airlines require hand luggage and checked luggage to be weighed together. Overweight will result in fines. It is best not to use a large box, just a medium size (158 in the market). Cards should also be pasted on both sides of the box to write your name, country, etc. to prevent mistakes.

The streets in Japan are not straight from south to north, and they are complicated and confusing, making it easy to get lost. But as long as you go to any "newspaper office" or "subway station" and buy a "pocket atlas", all problems will be solved.
(9) Notes:
Cash storage: If you have a large amount of cash, do not store it in the dormitory. It is best to deposit it in a bank, but a seal is required to open an account, so prepare it in advance.
Health insurance: Medical expenses are very expensive in Japan. Going to the hospital for a cold treatment will cost about 5,000 yen. Therefore, foreigners planning to stay in Japan for more than one year must join the National Health Insurance. The amount of insurance varies by region, but foreign students generally need to pay about 1,500 yen per month. When international students go to a hospital or clinic for treatment due to illness or injury, they only need to pay 20-30% of the total medical expenses. However, some expenses need to be paid in full, such as the "differential bed fee" when hospitalized, and some special treatment drugs that are not covered by insurance premiums. Those holding a "study abroad" visa can also apply for the "Medical Subsidy System for Foreign Students" at our school after participating in the above-mentioned National Health Insurance. In this way, I only need to pay 4-6% of the total medical expenses when seeing a doctor.
Japanese life and laws and regulations: Some laws in Japan are different from those in China. When studying in Japan, you need to understand Japanese living habits and some common legal and regulatory requirements. For example: Domestic waste needs to be sorted. International students are not allowed to work in customary places. Bicycles abandoned in the park cannot be ridden back and will be considered theft if caught by the police.
