Then Kuromon Market is the back kitchen of Osaka. I had a lot of fun visiting various markets in Europe before, and I didn't recognize many of them. What about Asian ones? There is also beef, but there is no pot, otherwise the half-price of Ji'an is still very attractive. There are two huge supermarkets on the main road, Nakagawa and Sennoriya. The famous Sanping seafood store is just opposite, and Baodao people almost booked the entire store.
All kinds of grabbing, Yunluo went, okay, quietly walked away. After shopping, I felt that Zhongchuan was a little better to buy, bought a lot of yen, and got a lot of pickles. The pickled vegetable store seemed to be the only drugstore, there were a lot of people in Baodao, but it was not good at all, probably because the main product was medicine. Yunluo didn't do any homework, and only cared about face wipes, and there were all cheap goods inside.
I left in a minute. Don't forget that this is a seafood market. Sitting down and eating some seafood is the real thing. After eating and buying, I felt exhausted after coming out of Kuromon. My family suggested that I put the things back to the hotel first. With a one-day pass in hand, it's so casual. I thought that the plan for the evening was to go to Umeda to see the night view, and there was no night view at this early hour.
So I went back to sleep for a minute. When I woke up, I was refreshed and headed to Umeda! As soon as I got out of Umeda Station, I saw a huge comprehensive electronics store, Yodobashi. I almost forgot what I was here for today. I continued forward, and there were all kinds of big shopping malls. Umeda is really full of modern atmosphere. There is also this kind of izakaya that looks pretty good?
I can't understand it, so sad. Umeda has a very complex terrain. Many people say they can't find the Blue Sky Building, but Yunluo and An Chuyu met very smoothly. Homework, homework comrades! Here's a picture from the official website. If you don't believe me, you can't find it. It's clear and concise. Please use the official website resources more. Upper and lower floors, meters, it's naturally not comparable to Yunluo and An Chuyu's Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
However, this is Japan's first interconnected super high-rise building. The two super high-rise buildings are connected by a two-story sky garden at the top, and Yunluo and An Chuyu will soon take the two chopstick-like elevators from Building A to Building B. Feeling that the night is not dark enough, Yunluo and An Chuyu decided to go to Takimi Koji on the first floor underground for dinner.
Showa style? There is also a small torii. The restaurant where I want to eat has a long queue. Yunluo is speechless. It feels like my time in Osaka is wasted by queuing for food! What to eat? Of course, Okonomiyaki. After queuing for an hour, it is finally Yunluo and Anchu's turn. The only consolation is that they are lucky.
I was arranged to sit at the operation table and watch the various steps clearly. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is just stir-fried meat slices with cabbage. But after adding various sauces and grilling on the iron plate, hey, why is it so delicious! Except that it is a little salty. It will be ready soon. The two flavors you ordered will be divided into half for each of you. After eating, the half and half are over.
I quickly ran upstairs to see the night view. The view was okay, but since it wasn't free, I had to ask for more. The wind was so strong! After shopping, I had to order something. I was tired. I went back the same way. All the shops were closed, including Yodobashi, which my family had been thinking about. Umeda, I'll come back tomorrow! Let's celebrate our birthday together in Nara-Osaka on the 2nd day of the month. Light rain turned to cloudy.
Unbelievable, the sun didn't shine brightly on the birthday of the sun god. I opened the curtains in the morning and found that the sky was so cloudy that it was almost dripping with water. I was a little disappointed. What I want to use today is the turtledove card. I bought it yesterday. Let's go quickly after breakfast. Every breakfast is similar. Yunluo eats one of various rice balls and a bowl of fried rice.
Two bowls of miso soup, and some side dishes that change every day. Domestic rice is written in various conspicuous places. If you can't take it back, you can only eat more. A full breakfast will give you energy for the whole day! There are several stations where you can get on the Nara Kintetsu, including Osaka Namba, Kintetsu Nihonbashi, Osaka Uehommachi, Tsuruhashi, Yunluo and An Chuyu live in Tanimachi 4-chome.
So I planned to use the one-day pass to get to Tanimachi 9-chome. Then I boarded the train at Osaka Uehommachi Station. When I got to Tanimachi 9-chome, I followed the route I had checked in China before departure and went out of the exit. I came to the ground, but after groping for a few minutes, I still couldn't find Osaka Uehommachi Station. I felt that I might have made a mistake. I decided to go back to the underground to find the stationmaster.
As expected, everything was ok after I found the stationmaster. Actually, I just had to walk underground. It was just that I had to walk a distance to see the signs for the direction of the Nara Kintetsu line. It was really a rip-off. With the signs, I felt more confident and bold. As I walked further, the signs became newer and clearer. There were clear instructions at every fork.
It seems that the Japanese are also consciously improving. The plan was to get off at Shin-Omiya by Kintetsu, then go to the river to see the cherry blossoms and then take the bus to Todaiji Temple. I don’t know which step was wrong, but Yunluo and An Chuyu actually walked all the way to Nara Station... It was really stupid. Well, since it was wrong, let’s make the best of it.
There is an ugly mascot in Nara Kintetsu Station, and Yunluo took a photo with it. Yunluo did most of his research on Nara on the official website, which I think is quite useful. I recommend some of the species. It was almost noon when I finished dawdling. My family members don't like raw food, so I went to buy some snacks.
Yunluo saw a rather large sushi restaurant and bought a box of sushi for lunch. When he walked out of the subway station, he found that the sky still showed no signs of clearing up. In addition, he had wasted a lot of time, so he decided to take the bus directly to Todaiji Temple. Along the way, various signs reminded you that the deer are the real masters of this city. Yunluo has been afraid of animals since he was a child.
And the deer in Todaiji Temple was too proactive. Before they even touched the door of Todaiji Temple, they were blocked by the little deer. They kept coming closer. Maybe they smelled sushi in Yunluo's bag, but when they found that Yunluo had no intention of opening the bag, they immediately left... So realistic. Just like this. I found it was raining.
Yunluo and An Chuyu decided to go to the park nearby to avoid the rain and eat lunch. They found a building with no deer around, so it was safe. They ate lunch! They were shocked. They took out the packaging and saw that it was Sushi Maruchu. It sounded familiar. Did they accidentally buy an old brand? Before they finished eating, the family member said, "Look."
Yunluo turned around, and a little deer ran in, looking at her. She was so scared that she almost lost her soul and finished the sushi in just a few bites. Sushi Maruchu is simply the best sushi Yunluo has ever eaten in her life! She bought too little! There are very few trash cans in Japan, and there is no place to throw away the empty sushi boxes.
I could only carry the bag in my hand. I found that the rain had stopped and continued to move towards Todaiji Temple. When I walked back to Todaiji Temple, the herd of deer rushed over. Suddenly I found that my family members were gone. I looked around and felt someone pulling the plastic bag in Yunluo's right hand. When I turned around, it was the deer. It bit the plastic bag tightly, and Yunluo was so scared that he let go.
The plastic bag was torn open in an instant. But this can't be eaten, Yunluo didn't dare to go up and fight with the deer, fortunately someone came to help immediately. The deer in Todaiji Temple are too fierce. Everyone must hide their things. The deer here are too fierce, and Yunluo hasn't bought the deer senbei yet, so he strode directly into Todaiji Temple. After looking around, I found that there was an extra charge to enter the temple, so forget it.
Just take a glance, hehe. If you are sincere, your wish will come true. The weather in Nara was bad and there were no cherry blossoms, Yunluo was a little unprepared. I forgot everything I had read in the guide. I was anxious to leave, and my family suggested that we go to Nigatsu-do instead. I walked up along the ancient shrine path. The trees on the roadside were all spirits. I saw someone selling deer biscuits and bought a bag. As soon as I saw Yunluo, he took out his wallet.
The deer came around right away! Thanks to the grandfather who sold deer biscuits for helping him, he secretly gave them to Yunluo like he was meeting with an underground gang. The deer are really smart! The higher we went, the quieter it became. The tour groups disappeared. We finally found the gate of Nigatsu-do. The stone tablet was probably the name of the donor. Nigatsu-do is the best place to overlook Nara.
The weather started to improve slightly, and many Japanese students came for a spring outing. Going down from Nigatsu-do, it was quiet and deserted, and the scenery was beautiful. The ground was covered with cherry blossoms. The deer was quietly eating grass, turned around and returned to Nara Park. I wanted to tease the deer, but the deer probably saw through my nature and chased and beat me all the way. It was so miserable. I was timid and sneaked a touch.
I was scared to death. Never mind. This kind of close contact with animals is not suitable for Yunluo. One against four, I was so scared. I was not excited at all. I was really hopeless to be afraid of animals. Let's go to Kasuga Taisha again. The long Omotesando was obviously too long to walk. I turned around and saw a bus that was marked to Kasuga Taisha (in front of the temple).
I jumped on it quickly to save my energy. Look at them, they were so calm when they were fed, but they still had the miserable fate of being chased and begged for food after they ran out of food. But Japanese deer are Japanese deer after all, they know to bow before asking for food. Kasuga Taisha is so big. I just wandered around and left, and the temperature started to drop. It was cold!
I came across a small shrine, which was full of heart-shaped painted horse cards. There was also a Japanese couple next to them doing divination with water, which was very interesting. I continued to take the bus back to Kintetsu Station. I didn't want to go shopping in the commercial street anymore, I just wanted to have a barbecue to warm up. I saw compatriots sleeping in a ball on the Kintetsu, and there were so many people who were so funny.
After changing to a regular car, I felt much more comfortable. When the car arrived at Hachinohe-no-Sato, the family member had good eyesight and saw the barbecue restaurant on the platform. The rain was getting stronger, and Yunluo and An Chuyu ran there. All the cameras and mobile phones were put away, so there were no photos. You had to deposit your shoes before entering the door, and then enter barefoot. The main reason for choosing this restaurant was that Yunluo and An Chuyu did not know Japanese.
I was worried about not being able to communicate, but this restaurant allows ordering with a touch screen. Language is not a problem, no one can stop the heart of a foodie. Yunluo and An Chuyu ordered the middle-level all-you-can-eat dish, which is about yen per person after tax, and there are additional discounts for more than yen. It is much more cost-effective than ordering a la carte. This beef in tin foil costs only yen per portion.
Yunluo and An Chuyu ordered a portion. There is also a mixed meat dish, which costs 1 yen per portion. You can get your money's worth by eating it casually. The all-you-can-eat buffet lasted for 15 minutes. Yunluo and An Chuyu ordered about 200 kinds of dishes. They were full and felt much warmer after the meal. Originally, the plan for today was to go to Namba, but after seeing Umeda yesterday, the family members' hearts had already flown to Umeda.
Anyway, with the one-day pass in hand, I can go wherever I want without being bound by formalities. Knowing that the mall closes early, I went to GrandFront Osaka North Building first. The largest Muji clothing store in Kansai is much smaller than the one in Tokyo. It is obvious that this store focuses on electrical appliances and smart home products. After that, there are very few shopping photos.
I don't have the heart to do that. I just look around. Matsumoto Kiyoshi Umeda store is crowded. Yunluo really doesn't like to go to drugstores. First, I don't know what to buy. Second, it's easy to get confused when there are too many people. It was in this drugstore that Yunluo suddenly couldn't find his phone. He was so scared that he felt like he was suffocating. It was mainly because Yunluo was using a work phone.
Once it was lost, it was really annoying. Fortunately, I found it in the shopping cart. I went shopping until midnight and was sleepy. This day was also Yunluo's birthday. From now on, I will start my adult life. I took the time machine and walked into the city of Kyoto with stories. On the day of the month, it was cloudy and rainy. On this day, Yunluo and An Chuyu left Osaka.
Moving to Kyoto. Here is the most serious strategy time: From Osaka to Kyoto, aside from the flashy Shinkansen and the Kintetsu that must go to Nara before reaching Kyoto, there are basically only three options left: Hankyu Railway, Keihan Railway and JR West, if you have JR Pass.
That's easy to do. If you don't have it, you don't need to find out. Because Yunluo and Anchuyu can reach it via the cheaper Hankyu or Keihan Main Line. All roads lead to Rome. Hankyu Electric Railway: The prices of these two are the same. No matter what type of train you take, the price is the same, and you don't need to pay the express fee.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The time difference is about the same. It's basically about minutes, so it depends on your location. For example, Yunluo wanted to go from the starting station to guarantee a seat. Umeda is too big and he was afraid of getting lost. It was also far from where Yunluo and Anchuyu lived in Osaka, so he chose the Keihan Main Line and went from Yodoyabashi.
Compared to Umeda, Yodoyabashi is much simpler. When you get off the subway at Yodoyabashi, you can immediately see the direction sign for the Keihan Main Line, and the instructions along the way are also quite clear. Japanese electric railways, Kintetsu, main lines, etc. are all divided into ordinary, express, and special express according to the different stops.
There are various trains such as the express train. If you don't need to pay extra, try to take the express train. There is an information board at each station, which includes various information. Yunluo has always been confused about what it is for. Sometimes it is, sometimes it is another number. After research, it means that this train has a carriage. Yunluo goes. Is this important?
Is it important? There is no seat number. Train schedule. For example, Yunluo and An Chuyu are now at Qijiao and want to go to Qingshui Gojiao. Then you can see that they can only take the express, semi-express and ordinary trains. Others do not stop. Then look at the timetable to know what time the train will arrive. It is divided into weekdays and weekends. This does not seem difficult.
It's the same as the Czech way of expression. If you look at the weekdays, it's still very clear. Yunluo and An Chuyu live in Karasuma Gojo. I saw that it's closer to take the bus to Qingshui Gojo. After I got out, I found it was raining. The driving direction was completely opposite to Yunluo and An Chuyu. I was dizzy and couldn't connect to Google on my phone.
It was so tragic. It took me nearly 10 minutes to determine the direction. I felt so desperate. The language barrier made traveling by myself much more difficult than Yunluo had imagined. After walking for about 10 minutes, it was relatively smooth. I found my place to stay. It was a century-old townhouse. After putting down my luggage and taking two umbrellas, Yunluo and An Chuyu set off again. Today's first stop is the cherry blossom tunnel of Arashiyama.
But actually I had an idea of the situation in Nara after looking at it yesterday. However, it was raining, and the second stop was Kinkakuji Temple, so it seemed that there was no good choice to change the itinerary at the last minute. So, when you go out, the weather is very important! I bought a onedaypass bus card and arrived at the station where I had to transfer to the Arashiyama Electric Railway smoothly.
It was lunchtime when we got off the bus. We saw a famous Japanese chain store and went in. The shop was in Japanese. Forgive me for not being able to write Japanese. Just look at the menu. It's on the menu. Not expensive at all! For a Japanese who earns over 200,000 yen a month, this price is equivalent to Yunluo and An Chuyu eating a fast food meal for one dollar...
What can Yunluo and An Chuyu eat with their money now? You can't even eat in Shaxian, right? Look at this place! Let's look at the dining environment first. Although it's fast food, it's not sloppy at all. It's a limited-time new product. Everyone in the store except Yunluo eats this. It's quite uniform. Yunluo and An Chuyu analyzed that they should eat here all year round, and new products are always the most popular.
It is a set meal similar to Korean bibimbap, but with a lot of meat, rice, vegetables and soup. Yunluo doesn't eat spicy food, so the new product is not very attractive to Yunluo. It's better to try the signature beef rice and add a serving of miso soup. Before coming to Japan, I was a little worried about the Japanese's appetite.
The manly type eats a lot at every meal. But Yunluo wants to clarify the rumor that Japanese people have a small appetite. Take Yunluo's meal as an example. I took a picture of the size of the bowl to show you. This portion is just the normal portion, which is the medium portion on the menu. There is also a large portion above that.
Shenghe is a bigger choice, and after this bowl, Yunluo is already full. After eating, turn around and you will reach a station for the Randen. If you don't know how to write Japanese, look at the pictures. The Randen is the only streetcar in Kyoto. The small train passes through residential areas and feels like an animation. The carriage in April also creates a cherry blossom atmosphere. The train arrives at Utano.
Get off the bus. There are no more cherry blossoms, really not at all! But this seems to be a wealthy area, small villas are pretty good. The yards are not big, but they are all well-maintained. I walked around the wealthy area, no one was there, the river was full of cherry blossom petals, and walked towards Fukuji, planning to take the bus to Kinkakuji. (~^~)
