.. I will travel to Japan soon! Give me some comprehensive advice! thank you ..

Japan plays self-help strategy, which is super practical.

A summary of Japan's travel strategy o(∩_∩)o ...

This article is from Ctrip, the original author and netizen: 5799.

A friend is going to travel to Japan recently. Let me introduce some interesting places. In fact, I have been there a long time ago, and I don't know much about the new trend now. I can only rely on my hobbies and memories, and give him a simple strategy by synthesizing online search materials.

According to my preference, whenever I go to a place, I must look at its characteristics. Or unique natural scenery, folk customs, or historical and cultural landscape. So when I go to Japan, I choose to go to Kyoto, Nara and even Kamakura, once ancient capitals near Tokyo, because I think there is really nothing to see in big cities like Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. The more modern, the more convergent, wherever you go.

However, since it is far away, Tokyo is still going, which can be used as a foothold.

Looking at the royal weather, you can go to Otmachi to see the Imperial Palace and see Shuangqiao from outside the Palace. When the Japanese prince got married, the wedding car came in and out from here.

If you want to appreciate the prosperity of Tokyo, Ginza and Shinjuku can represent it, and there is nothing else. However, if you haven't been to the United States or Hong Kong Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland can also play. You'd better buy a pass and do whatever you want (how much mani did I spend at that time? Forgot).

People who like sports, do you know what the Japanese like best? Although sumo is a traditional sport in Japan, from the perspective of popularity and people's perennial interest, the real national ball in Japan should belong to yakyu wild ball, which is actually baseball. When I was in Tokyo, I lived near the Tokyo Dome (also called the Colosseum in Japan), and I was lucky enough to hear and witness many actions of the fans.

Then, we will leave Tokyo and go to Kyoto for a key tour.

This is a self-help tour of a donkey friend on the Internet for your reference:

The first day arrived in Kyoto, Nijo Castle, Kiyomizu Temple.

The next day, Yinta Temple, Jinge Temple, Lanshan Temple and Tianlong Temple.

Go to Nara on the third day. Horyuji, Yagu Temple, Tangzhaoti Temple, Dongda Temple.

On the fourth day, the Peace Temple, the East Temple and the Peace Palace in Nara.

On the fifth day, I spent a day in Kyoto (consider Yachuan, one of Kyoto people's outdoor leisure places, where Conan and his party ate and enjoyed cherry blossoms in the evening. )

Return to Tokyo on the sixth day

I think his schedule is ok.

Line (1)

Although the transportation in Japan is developed and there are many choices from A to B, I suggest you take the Shinkansen in Japan.

It takes only 2 hours and 20 minutes to get to Kyoto by JR Shinkansen (express train) from Odawara Station in Tokyo, and the one-way fare is 13220 yen (more than 800 RMB? I don't know the current price, master. The environment in the car is comfortable, and the spacious aviation seats are very suitable for sitting inside and watching the scenery.

Tickets are divided into designated seats and free seats, but it is recommended to buy designated seats (that is, to sit in the right position).

When the Shinkansen is running, you can hear the sharp whistle of the air outside, which is a bit like the sound of bullets. When the train is running, there is pressure and decompression from time to time, and my ears will hurt a little.

From Tokyo to Yokohama, it is almost a continuous urban area, which is residential, industrial and commercial. Then there are the continuous small peaks. After that, a huge city appeared in front of us, that is Nagoya, the third largest city in Japan. The Shinkansen from Tokyo to Nagoya basically runs along the coast. After that, all the hills came, and it will soon be Kyoto.

As for the return trip, you can experience taking the dream bus back to Tokyo. The night bus in Japan is very comfortable, with two floors up and down, soft seats, spacious front and back distance, resting feet and running smoothly. It takes about 7 hours from Kyoto to Tokyo Station, which is convenient for you to sleep for one night. Except, of course, people who don't sleep well. Otherwise, the snoring with foreign accent at night will be enough, hehe.

Similarly, the night train from Tokyo to Kyoto takes more than seven hours. In the afternoon 10, leave from the central entrance of yaeyama, Tokyo Station, and arrive in Kyoto at around 6: 00 the next morning.

Second line

Local transportation:

Note: When getting off in Kyoto, the first thing to do is not to take a taxi or stay in a hotel, but to go to the office (information desk) set up in the station to get free tourist maps and materials (Kyoto is modeled after the architecture of the Tang Dynasty in China, so it is easy to distinguish between east, west, north and south, and you won't get lost if you have a map). At the same time, ask where to buy a two-day ticket for sightseeing in Kyoto (near the office). This ticket allows you to use the bus and subway for two days without restriction, while the Kyoto bus is a one-way fare of 220 yen (well, do as the Romans do, say yen from now on), so it is very cost-effective.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it at the station. You can also buy a bus ticket valid for one day in Kyoto on the same day, but it seems that you can't buy a ticket for two days. It will take two days for Kyoto to have a leisurely time.

A valid bus ticket for one day is about 500 yen (for urban buses only).

One-day valid subway and bus tickets are about 1200 yen (you can take subway, urban bus or Kyoto bus).

Subway and bus tickets valid for two days are about 2000 yen (subway, local bus and Kyoto bus are all available).

Actually, just buy a bus ticket, depending on your own needs.

It is recommended to take more buses and sightseeing bus:

1. It's more convenient to go sightseeing in the capital city by bus than by subway, and the city itself is beautiful and attractive, and it's also a waste to go underground.

2. There are three sightseeing buses in Kyoto, 100, 10 1, 102. 100 take the east line, 10 1 take the center line, 102 connect 100 and 10 1. It's convenient to take this kind of sightseeing bus, get off at the scenic spot you want to see, and then take the next bus to other places after swimming.

There are only two subway lines in Kyoto, East-West Line and Maru Line, which crisscross each other.

The reason why I have to go to Kyoto

Kyoto has the most beautiful natural scenery in Japan. There are two most beautiful periods in a year, one is to enjoy cherry blossoms in April, and the other is to see maple trees in November.

But that's not the reason to go.

The unique advantage of Kyoto lies in its history.

If Tokyo represents the image of the government and Osaka combines the shrewdness of entrepreneurs, then Kyoto represents traditional Japan with noble temperament. Because of its artistic and cultural traditions, it is called a museum that lives with Athens, Cairo and Beijing. The fly in the ointment is that this small place is now as crowded and noisy as a modern city. Fortunately, the time when Master went (from mid-June to mid-July) was the rainy season in Kyoto, with continuous drizzle and relatively few tourists.

Kyoto is the ancient capital of Japan with a history of 1000 years. Founded in 794 AD (equivalent to the prosperous time of the Tang Dynasty in China), it was the political, cultural and religious center of Japan until it moved to Tokyo after the Meiji Restoration in 1868 (equivalent to the late Qing Dynasty). The original design of Kyoto was to imitate Chang 'an and Luoyang in China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with rectangular cities and checkerboard streets. Taking Suzaku Road as the axis, it is divided into East and West Beijing, Tokyo imitating Luoyang City, and Xijing imitating Chang 'an City. Traditionally, it is still divided into Luo Zhong, Luoxi, Luobei, Luodong and Luonan.

How many world heritages are there in Kyoto? The answer is: 17. Almost the whole world heritage of Japan is concentrated here. I recommend two of them to Master: Jingu Temple (to be exact, Liugen Temple) and Kiyomizu Temple.

Others 15 are: Yinta Temple (Cizhao Temple), Nijo Castle, Ningna Temple, Shanghemao Temple, Xihe Temple (Moss Temple), Daiguo Temple, Tianlong Temple, Long 'an Temple, Xia Ya Temple, Wang Jiao Huguo Temple (East Temple), Liyan Temple, Byodoin Temple, Hong 'an Temple (West Temple), and so on.

Sightseeing bus can make it easy for people to visit various scenic spots. Take the sightseeing bus 100 from the railway station, pass through Kyoto National Museum, Kiyomizu Temple, Kobe Hall in Osaka, Kyoto Hall Art Museum and Ping 'an Shrine, and go to Yinta Temple. 10 1 Connect the Jinge Temple and the railway station. 102 Connect the Jingu Temple and Yinta Temple. It is no exaggeration to say that Kyoto is "three steps and one temple, seven steps and one temple".

It's like visiting churches in Europe, temples in China and temples and shrines in Kyoto. Every shrine has at least one torii Gate, which is shaped like the Greek letter "Pie" (the symbol representing 3. 14 can't be typed, which is very depressing), separating the shrine from the world. The largest Japanese torii should be in Meiji Jingu, Tokyo. If you are interested, Master can go and have a look. However, these choices are entirely based on their own interests and physical strength. If not, it's enough to see the golden pavilion and Shimizu in Kyoto.

Several must-see attractions

Jingu Temple: Undeniably, Jingu Temple has a deep relationship with Yukio Mishima. But in fact, everyone should be familiar with Jingu Temple. During a clever rest, General Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the builder of the Golden Pavilion Temple and the shogunate, always called a rest here to "test" people's intelligence.

This golden pavilion is so beautiful that people feel a little unreal. The whole temple is decorated with gold foil, and the golden pavilion reflected in the lake has always been a symbol of Kyoto. Unfortunately, Jingu Temple was burned several times, and what we see now has been rebuilt.

Tickets for the Golden Pavilion Temple are quite distinctive. It's an amulet, 500 yen. Light this symbol at the entrance and you will get a brief introduction in Chinese, Korean and English. There are divination boards in Chinese and Korean in the temple.

Kiyomizu Temple: Tickets cost about 300 yen, plus 100 yen for visiting the shrine. If the beauty of Jingu Temple is exquisite, it will not be true if you look at it too much. In contrast, Kiyomizu Temple will be more magnificent. Kiyomizu Temple, like the landscape poems of the ancient capital, seems to exist to prove Kyoto. No wonder Kiyomizu Temple is the only building in Japan that has been shortlisted for the Seven Wonders of the New World.

Kiyomizu Temple is built on the mountain, and there are ancient shrines and temples along the road from Sakamoto to Kiyomizu Temple (Sakamoto is a road with a certain slope).

Kiyomizu Temple is most famous for its stage. There is a Japanese proverb: whoever says he has the courage, please jump off the stage of Kiyomizu Temple. If a Japanese says he wants to jump on the stage of Kiyomizu Temple, it means that he has made up his mind.

The stage is made of wood, and it is built with wooden pillars from the foot of the mountain, which is about seven or eight stories high. Three streams of clear water flowing from the stage are called Otoha Waterfall. Kiyomizu Temple got its name. It is said that scooping up a spewing fountain by hand and taking a sip can prolong life and make everything go well.

Nijo Castle: It's the Tokugawa family's home. Tokugawa Ieyasu was a general in the edo shogunate era. He was the one who ruled this country after Nobunobu Oda and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Nijo Castle is very big, and the vegetation is scarce. There are various shapes of pine and cypress, and some precious cherry blossoms. The main house is a huge house, one next to the other, all covered with tatami. The Fu Sima Gate of the house is painted with various landscapes, which is different from the grating gate of ordinary people. There are as many as sixty big houses, while there are only six apartments in Tokyo.

Nijo Castle's Japanese national treasure "Erzhimaru Palace" can be visited with shoes off. This is Omido, which consists of six buildings and thirty-three rooms, such as Daguangjian and Baishuyuan. You can visit the room layout and excellent partition paintings for various purposes at close range. Contrary to the magnificent tower, the interior scene is gorgeous and elegant. There are also special places of interest "Erzhi Maru Garden" and important cultural heritage "Benmaru Palace" to see.

In addition, you can also visit the Kyoto Imperial Institute. However, it seems that you have to make an appointment to visit the Forbidden City. Oh, by the way, don't get me wrong. The palace is not a WC that has to say hello many times a day, but the place where the emperor lives. Ha ha.

Then there is Lanshan: Lanshan is located on the outskirts of Kyoto, and it takes only about 40 minutes by bus. As long as it is not the red leaf season, there are not many tourists in general, so you can walk slowly along Dayan River. Lanshan has beautiful scenery. When you get off the bus, you will see lakes and mountains, blue sky and green water, and there is a long bridge on the slowly flowing river. Bridge has a nice name: Crossing the Moon Bridge. There is a Kameyama Park nearby, which contains a poem tablet of "Lanshan in the Rain" written by Zhou Enlai Liao Chengzhi, which is a place that China people like to visit.

Another important entertainment in Kyoto is to satisfy your kimono complex.

There are many shops renting kimonos in Shimizu Sakamoto. If you rent clothes, add hair and makeup, you can dress up as a classic ancient Japanese beauty (or samurai) in one day 12000. If you walk beautifully in the street for a day, a kimono shop with good business usually needs to make an appointment one or two days in advance. There is also a kimono for rent in the West Array Weaving Hall in Kyoto, which costs 3,000 yen a day, which is cheaper than Shimizu Sakamoto, but it seems that there is no makeup.

However, girls are generally interested in this, and taking wedding photos is a bit cumbersome. It is estimated that boys may not be interested.

Because from taking off your shoes to entering the store, you enter the red tape. To fill in the form, the requirements on the form are very detailed, including name, age, date of birth, address, contact information, contact phone number, email address, height, socks number and what kind of service you need. Every item is very detailed.

Then make up and choose a hairstyle.

Renting a kimono is the difference between a kimono (wearing clothes) and a bathrobe (bathrobe).

We usually see Japanese people wearing clothes when they get married or grow up on TV. Only the scores are different. Well, it costs millions of yen to wear it. It takes a lot of time to wear it, so I can't wear it myself. This kind of store must be worn.

Bathrobe is a simple summer kimono, which is simple and convenient to wear. Many girls wear this bathrobe on Tanabata. Relatively speaking, patterns and colors are more fancy, which are girls' favorite, and of course the price is quite cheap. Generally speaking, you can buy a set of 10 million.

It takes about 1 hour to get your hair done and put on a kimono. Then, you can put on a kimono and go directly to the shrine or Kiyomizu Temple.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Nara

If Kyoto is architecture, then Nara and Kamakura are sculptures. The Dongda Temple, Yoyo Temple and Xiaofu Temple in Nara are all scenic spots, and the Spring Club is worth visiting. Another must-see attraction for China people is the Tang Zhao Ti Temple, which was established after the monks from Jian Zhen crossed to China. Tickets for these temples range from 400 to 600 yen.

Of course, there is another scenic spot in Nara: deer. Don't miss Luyuan.

Tickets from Kyoto to Nara include JR and the express train. JR can arrive in Nara in less than an hour, and the fare is 690 yen.

In fact, there is also a convenient Nara one-day tour card, 1600 yen, including free subway ride in Kyoto, subway train to Nara, and transportation bus in Nara. Well, it is also a cost-effective transportation card.

According to my friends, an ideal way, such as a self-help tour in Nara, Kyoto, is a wise choice to book transportation and hotels through local travel agencies, which will reduce the budget by half compared with your own booking. But I haven't tried.

Elsewhere:

If you have enough time and energy, you can also go to nearby Kobe to see the night scene and eat the famous Kobe beef. Take the Shinkansen from Kyoto and you can reach Kobe Station in 33 minutes. The most lively area in Kobe is Mimiya area, but it's just for the night view.

skill

Some tips, for reference only:

1。 Souvenirs are recommended to be purchased in Kiyomizu Temple, and the following attractions are less shopping. The souvenirs in Nara are not as good as those in Kyoto.

2。 Souvenirs with Kyoto characteristics include fans, "West Station" textiles, "Zen-dyed cloth" and "Qingshui-burned" pottery. It should be noted that these souvenirs are divided into two categories, including high-priced items called works of art, as well as daily small commodities such as fans, textiles, wallets and wrapping cloth, and the prices are quite different.

3。 Take pottery as an example, there are many practical items such as cups and the prices are moderate. Among these foods, there are Kyoto kimchi and Japanese dim sum-Eight Bridges, a unique Japanese condiment-"Seven Flavors Tang Xinzi" (a multi-flavored pepper), which are very popular with people.

4。 If you have time, there are two places to experience. One is a teahouse. You can experience the tea ceremony founded by Toyotomi Hideyoshi tea artist Rixiong Morino, and you can also try Japanese dim sum and matcha. The other is izakaya (Japanese Bar).

5。 In fact, there are many Japanese cuisines in Beijing, such as eel, sushi, sashimi and Tianfu Luo, not to mention. In addition, in Kyoto, you should experience Japanese tofu cuisine and "essence cuisine" (vegetarian cuisine) that does not use animal flavor. At the same time, in Tokyo, if you are a big eater, you can also consider tasting "Shi Huai cuisine" (authentic Shi Huai cuisine is expensive, and this kind of food has never been tasted).

6。 There is also a famous promenade in Kyoto called Guili Palace. However, in the past, it seemed that visits required prior permission from the Royal Service. I wonder if it is open now.

7。 All temples usually close at four o'clock in the afternoon, so we should go early. Most shops close at five or six in the afternoon, and then only convenience stores open.

8。 After checking out, ordinary luggage can be stored free of charge. You can also deposit it at the station, a large box of 300 yuan a day.

9。 Take the subway in Tokyo, although there are many lines, but as long as you remember the terminal names at both ends of the line, pay attention to identify the color of the line (there are color indicators for each line on the ground and the passage wall), follow the color of the line you want to take, and identify the direction you want to go in two station names (such as Sihui-Apple Orchard), you can be busy and not chaotic.

10。 Mount Fuji and Hakone-machi are very common, especially don't go up the mountain (just ordinary black soil mountain). After I climbed Mount Fuji (2300 meters above sea level), I smelled horse manure on the road (riding a carriage on the path above), leaving only regret. The Great Lakes and hot springs are also very common, and it is not worth wasting time and money.
