Tour groups also come in an endless stream. 2829NO.11 Maruyama Park Cherry Blossom Index: ☆☆☆☆Crowd Index: ☆☆☆☆☆Recommendation Index: ☆☆☆☆Coordinates: adjacent to Higashiyama, Yasaka Shrine, Kodaiji Temple, Chion-in Temple Comments: The most distinctive feature here is the lively cherry blossom festival, with crowds of people under the cherry trees.

Locals spread plastic sheets under the trees and started eating and drinking. There were also steaming food stalls along the way, which was a great spot for taking photos. The night cherry blossoms were also very beautiful under the lights. Maruyama Park (the sign says Maruyama Park) is one of the most classic cherry blossom viewing spots in Kyoto. There are nearly 900 cherry trees in it, and the most famous weeping cherry trees in the park are more than 200 years old.

It has been famous for its "Gion Night Cherry Blossoms" since the Meiji era. 3031NO.12 Nara Himuro Shrine Cherry Blossom Index: ☆☆☆☆☆Crowd Index: ☆☆☆☆☆Recommendation Index: ☆☆☆☆Coordinates: 1-4 Kasugano-cho, Nara City A very rare shrine dedicated to the god of ice. The shrine is not big, but behind the red torii is full of extremely prosperous cherry blossoms.

There are also huge weeping cherry trees in the shrine, which is very spectacular and a must-see for cherry blossom viewing in Nara. Unfortunately, the small shrine is crowded with people, and the people are even noisier than the flowers on the branches. If you have the opportunity to live in Nara, you can arrive before the large number of tourists and probably enjoy a different artistic conception. 3233NO.13 Nara Park Cherry Blossom Index: ☆☆☆☆

Crowd index: ☆☆Recommendation index: ☆☆☆☆Review: There is a large open lawn in the middle of Nara Park, surrounded by many cherry blossoms, and Todaiji Temple can be seen from afar. Because the lawn is so large, tourists are also dispersed in twos and threes, not so dense. I spent a day in Nara's crowded attractions.

You can find a bench here to sit down and have some quiet time, and maybe a passing deer will come and play with you. 3435NO.14 Nara? Todaiji Temple Cherry Blossom Index: ☆☆☆Crowd Index: ☆☆☆☆☆Recommendation Index: ☆☆☆☆Coordinates: 406-1, Zaoji-cho, Nara CityReview: One of the Seven Great Temples of Nanto, with a history of about 1,200 years.

The Great Buddha Hall is the world's largest existing ancient wooden structure. It is very spectacular, with a large Buddha statue over 15 meters high. Todaiji Temple is famous, so you will definitely go there. So others will definitely go there, so there will be a lot of people. If you have time, you can walk around the entire Todaiji Temple. The back of the temple is relatively quiet. There are rows of cherry trees.

3637NO.15 Arashiyama Nakanoshima Cherry Blossom Index: ☆☆☆☆Crowd Index: ☆☆☆☆Recommendation Index: ☆☆☆Location: Get off at Arashiyama Station and cross the Moon Bridge. Evaluation: I have seen guides recommending the night cherry blossoms when the lights are on. After visiting Nakanoshima, I concluded that the cherry blossoms will be beautiful as long as the lights are on, and the location has nothing to do with it.

The overall feeling given to Yunluo is that there are many cherry trees. Apart from the cherry blossoms, there are too few other elements and no special features. 3839 Yunluo has not been to the cherry blossom viewing spots but it is said to be worth seeing: 1. Nara Saba River Coordinates: Turn left at the exit of Kintetsu Nara Shin-Omiya Station. There are cherry blossoms on both sides of the river. It is said that there are few people and the lights start at 7 pm.

One guide mentioned a railway crossing for photographing cherry blossoms and trains, located on the Saba River on the way to the main city of Nara. 2. Kyoto Daigoji Temple Coordinates: Daigo Station on the subway. The shuttle bus from the subway station to Daigoji Temple runs every 10 minutes. One of the most famous cherry blossom viewing spots in Kyoto, it is said that there are many people. Every year on the second Sunday of April, there is a "Taikoku Flower Viewing Parade".

Recreate the grand occasion of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's flower viewing party. 3. Kyoto Yamashina Canal Coordinates: Yamashina Subway Station In addition to cherry blossoms, both sides of the canal are also planted with yellow rape flowers for people to enjoy. 4. Kyoto Nijo Castle has the famous Nijo Castle Night Cherry Blossoms. 5. Osaka Mint is only open to the public for one week a year. The total length of Cherry Blossom Avenue is about 560 meters.

There are about 350 cherry trees of 132 species, the main species is the Yaezakura, which blooms later than Somei Yoshino. So the viewing period is relatively late, for example, the opening time in 2015 was. Places like Fushimi Inari Taisha, Nara Kasuga Taisha, Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, Kinkakuji Temple, etc., because the cherry blossom index is too low, I will not mention it here.

This may be the best time for neon, but for travelers, it is also the time when the crowds are the most and the prices are the highest.

The most difficult time to book a room. The popularity of Japan travel has suddenly increased this year, and it is conceivable that the cherry blossom season will only become more popular year by year. Even so, it is worth fighting for this fleeting splendor. So, here is the guide - 4243 1. Which day and when to fly to Japan. To see the cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Here we have to mention a concept - "Sakura Front", the full Japanese name is "桜の開花予想の等期日線", which is a map line that predicts the blooming date of cherry blossoms in various parts of Japan.

The forecast is made and revised weekly. 44 This pink "Sakura Front". Every spring, it gradually advances northward from Okinawa Island to Hokkaido. Generally speaking, cherry blossoms begin to bloom in southern Kyushu in late March, and then pass through southern Shikoku, northern Kyushu, northern Shikoku, the coast of the Seto Inland Sea, Kanto, Hokuriku, and Tohoku.

The cherry blossom front arrives in Hokkaido in early May. The cherry blossom season goes through several stages, from budding to blooming, to full bloom, and withering. The flowering period is further divided into "three-point opening", "five-point opening", "seven-eight-point opening" and "full bloom". The most gorgeous day is naturally the "full bloom day" for about a week, and then the cherry blossoms begin to grow leaves gradually.

The cherry blossoms are divided into "one-tenth leaf cherry", "three-tenth leaf cherry", "five-tenth leaf cherry", "seventy-eighth leaf cherry", and finally enter the "leaf cherry" period, marking the end of the flowering period. If your main destination is Kansai or Tokyo, then the end of March to the beginning of April is the best time to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom. A week earlier, the flowers are half in bloom, and a week later, the flowers are half in bloom.

This period coincides with the Qingming Festival in China, and it was the same in 2016. 2. Where to fly to Kansai during the cherry blossom season? The most convenient way is to fly directly to Osaka. Setting Osaka as the last stop in the itinerary is also convenient for shopping. It is easy for students in the Yangtze River Delta to achieve this, but for students like Yunluo in Beijing.

I feel that the direct flight to Osaka is too expensive. I can fly to Europe for 4,000 yuan, so why fly to Japan? The following is the roundabout plan of Beijing friends: 1. This is also the way chosen by Yunluo, going from Beijing to Nagoya.

Etihad Airways, round trip 2,100 yuan. Etihad had a big sale on November 11, 2014, with round trips from Beijing to Nagoya priced at only 1,600 yuan, which was very cost-effective. I didn't catch that big sale, but I kept an eye on the ticket price and bought it when it dropped to around 2,000 yuan. Air China and China Eastern Airlines also have more than 2,000 round trips from Beijing to Nagoya.

However, the time is not as perfect as Etihad. Nagoya is still a long way from Kansai. The fastest way is the Shinkansen. It takes more than half an hour to get there, while the ordinary train takes 2 and a half hours. The Shinkansen is quite expensive. A one-way trip from Nagoya to Kansai costs more than 5,000 yen. Yunluo took it once on the return trip. I used the Kintetsu Pass on the outbound trip.

I will talk about this later in the "Transportation" chapter. 2. Spring Airlines Tianjin to Osaka round trip. This one is often on sale on weekdays, but during the cherry blossom season in 2015, the tickets were released late and there was no price advantage at all. After all, it is a low-cost airline, so if the prices are similar, it is recommended to fly to a flight with better hardware facilities.

3. When to fly? It is not recommended to choose a flight that will require you to sleep right after arriving in Japan or to go to the airport to return home right after waking up. Because hotel prices in Japan are very expensive, try not to spend extra money on unnecessary accommodation. If the price of the flight you choose plus the extra accommodation price is still a good deal, then consider buying it.

Here we only provide the application method for single-entry free travel visa in the Beijing consular district: Japanese visa must be processed through a qualified travel agency. The asset requirements of various travel agencies in Beijing are different. As far as Yunluo knows, the easiest materials are "Xshui Holiday" and "Xsheng" on Taobao, but the latter's customer service ignored Yunluo on Wangwang.

I went to the former travel agency. The price was slightly higher than other travel agencies, but the visa was issued smoothly. The visa is valid for 3 months. The stay is no more than 15 days. It usually takes no more than two weeks from sending the materials to receiving the passport with the visa. After the visa is issued, you will be given a return report, which you need to bring with you to Japan and show when you check in for the return boarding pass.

The airline will stamp it and you should send it to the travel agency to cancel the visa after you return to China. The following are the materials submitted by Yunluo and An Chuyu: 1. You have these documents: original passport, copy of ID card, copy of family household registration, two 2-inch photos with white background (provided by married people), copy of marriage certificate (provided by non-Beijing consular district residents), original temporary residence permit 2.

Give you a form to fill in Visa application form Personal information processing consent form 3. Need to hold the boss's thigh tightly Company letterhead employment certificate original, leader's signature, stamped with official seal Company business license (copy) or organization code certificate copy, stamped with official seal 4. Need to prove that you are rich Bank statement for one year, need bank seal.

Provide up to two cards, with deposits of more than 100,000 yuan. Five. You need to book hotel reservations and round-trip air tickets in advance. If you still have the following concerns - if your annual salary is less than 100,000 yuan: as long as the bank card is deposited, it will be fine. That is to say, if your annual salary is 80,000 yuan, then you can deposit the remaining 20,000 yuan in batches through remittance or cardless deposit.

(I don't know if Yu'ebao can be transferred to Yunluo, but it's better not to do it for safety reasons). Don't have a large amount of money coming in suddenly. It's too fake to suddenly deposit 50,000 or 60,000 before applying for a visa. If you change your salary card in the middle, then the annual deposit flow of the two cards must be at most 100,000. If you don't have real estate or cars, freeze your deposits.

If you find it difficult to get a temporary residence permit by yourself after studying it, then... search on Taobao or 58, and someone will pop up to provide services. The safest way is to go to the Public Security Bureau with the person who helps you to apply for the permit, rather than directly handing your materials to him. The requirements written by the embassy are: It must be applied for at least half a year ago.

And the temporary residence permit is valid. But in fact, as long as it is valid, it is OK if it is less than half a year. [Note] The above are only the materials submitted by Yunluo. The materials required by other travel agencies may be different. Please consult the travel agency for the details of the materials first.

The scariest thing about the cherry blossom season is not the crowds, because you can choose less popular attractions. It’s not that the air tickets are expensive, because you can book early. It’s the accommodation! Especially in Kyoto, the price of accommodation is doubled compared to normal days, and it’s impossible to book! So the reason why Yunluo and An Chuyu’s itinerary still looks awkward is that they are accommodating the accommodation.

Therefore, it is best to have a general plan in mind the day after the ticket is issued, and then book a room immediately. Of course, you can be more extreme: for example, April 2-4, 2016 is the Qingming Festival holiday, and you think that no matter how you fly, you will definitely be in Kansai during this period.

Then you can book a few nights in Kyoto before buying your flight. Osaka accommodation is not as tight as Kyoto, so you can book it after your flight is released. Anyway, even if you make a wrong reservation, you can still get a free refund, hehe! > In addition to Booking and Agoda, I recommend Japanican.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

A very useful hotel booking website. Some of the properties in it cannot be booked through Booking. >Recommended accommodation areas Osaka: Namba. Nihonbashi, Shinsaibashi, preferably close to the subway. Kyoto: near Kyoto Station (easily accessible), around Gion and Kawagencho (convenient for shopping) If you really can't book accommodation in Kyoto, you can also consider booking accommodation in Osaka or Nara.

Go to Kyoto and make a round trip on the same day. But you must choose an accommodation close to the station. You can use Google Maps or the jiu huan nai app to calculate the round trip time from the hotel. As for the several hotels that Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed in, they are actually not very useful for reference, because they were all leftovers when they were booked, and there was no choice at all.

I won't go into details here┑(￣Д￣)┍~The service is great~and you don't need to pay a deposit to stay in Japan. I also stayed in a homestay for a few nights in Kyoto. Although the hardware is not very good, it still has a unique feeling~My personal experience is that Nagoya has the best value for money, followed by Osaka, and finally Kyoto.

Because the fun of these three cities is reversed~ Don't reduce the number of days you spend in Kyoto because it is difficult to book accommodation! 53545556 Pre-trip guide package, if you need it, you can leave your email address in the comments~ It includes an itinerary made by Yunluo himself using Excel. And the accompanying map guide for daily needs.

For a seven-day trip, excluding the time for flying and traveling to and from Nagoya, there are only about six days.

2. Regarding the one-day trip to Nara, Yunluo originally planned to go back and forth from Kyoto, but later found out that the Osaka hotel Yunluo and An Chuyu had booked was located in Nihonbashi, right on the Kintetsu line from Osaka to Nara, so it was very convenient to go back and forth from Nara, so they changed to go back and forth from Osaka.

We arrived in Nagoya in the afternoon. We chose to stay in Nagoya for one night because the accommodation was cost-effective. The time we spent in Nagoya and Osaka was scattered and not meaningful, and Nara was a small place, so we would only visit the same attractions. So here I will only focus on the itinerary design in Kyoto.

ROUTE1: Ginkaku-Kiyomizu-dera Route runs from Ginkaku-ji Temple in the north to Kiyomizu-dera Temple in the south. This route goes through some of the most essential attractions in Kyoto. If you only have one day in Kyoto, follow this route! Because the hotel we stayed in was near Heian Shrine, it was split into two parts, north and south.

We first went to the northernmost Ginkakuji Temple and Philosopher's Walk. Then we took a bus to the southernmost Kiyomizu Temple and walked north to Gion. It was evening when we arrived in Gion, so we could enjoy the night cherry blossoms. We spent a separate morning to visit the attractions near Heian Shrine. If you live in other places in Kyoto, you can consider a smoother way to travel.

There is no convenient rail transit on this line, so you mainly rely on buses and your legs. You can buy a 500 yen one-day bus ticket on this day. Of course, if you have good legs, it is not impossible to walk all the way... The following is a map, you know the places marked with pink flowers by Yunluo~60ROUTE2: There are many attractions in the Arashi-den one-day tour.

It is worth spending a whole day to walk this route. You can buy a one-day ticket for Arashiyama Electric Railway and only take one mode of transportation to complete the route. Kinkakuji Temple, Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, and Hirano Shrine are next to each other, so you can visit them together. A walk around Arashiyama Station can also take up half a day. In addition to the cherry blossom tunnel that Yunluo introduced earlier, you can also go to Ninnaji Temple to see the unique "Omuro Sakura".

The flowering period here is late, so don't miss it if you want to see the late cherry blossoms. Note that Arashiyama is a tram, and its full name is "Keifuku Electric Railway". It has been in operation since 1910 and is the only streetcar in Kyoto. It is not the same as the legendary Arashiyama train. I am not very interested in the Arashiyama train, so I haven't studied it. If you need it, please read other people's travel notes. (~^~)
