Unable to bear watching the courtesan throw herself into the pond, he changed his direction overnight.} Heimun Persimmon Leaf Sushi is also one of Nara's famous snacks. There are many branches. The one near Kasuga Taisha has a relatively complete variety. The Japanese are very attentive when making any food. In their eyes, only love and food are not to be wasted. In fact, before coming to Japan.
Yunluo always thought that each of them was a cartoonist. It was not ordinary people who could live such a cute life. Sure enough, in the message book of Nara Tourism Service Center, Yunluo saw many tourists' masterpieces, all kinds of love and cute. Yunluo always wanted to ask in his heart, have you really fed those hungry deer? In fact, before coming to Japan.

Yunluo always wanted to ask in his heart, have you really fed those hungry deer? The time in Nara was very short.
After visiting these two favorite places in a leisurely way, Yunluo and An Chuyu returned to Shin-Omiya and prepared to take a bus to their next destination, Kyoto. There was a small episode when buying tickets. Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't pay much attention when looking at the interval and bought expensive tickets. Later, they found out and went to ask the staff at the window.
He immediately understood what Yunluo and An Chuyu meant, and was very considerate to help Yunluo and An Chuyu change their tickets and refund the money. In fact, language is really not a problem when traveling to Japan. We must believe that everyone's understanding is beyond language. Some of Japan's private railways and subways are connected, but they may belong to different companies.
It would be troublesome to transfer, and because of this, they have so many discount cards and package cards for transportation that it is dizzying. I had read them in detail before the trip, but before my mind became a mess, I still made a sober decision to buy tickets directly at the station. First, the time is difficult to determine (flight delays will affect the itinerary), and second, these tickets are more suitable for longer stays.
Tourists who will go to their designated attractions, thirdly, according to the actual itinerary of Yunluo and An Chuyu. It is actually more cost-effective to buy separately. Japan is a country very suitable for independent travel. As long as you study the discount tickets for each place, you don’t have to worry about the itinerary, just follow it.
Looking back at the train from Nara to Kyoto in Kansai, it was like a subway. As a result, Yunluo and An Chuyu could not tell which section they had entered into Kyoto Prefecture. Although it was a bit tortuous, Yunluo and An Chuyu still found their way in the dazzling route map. This was my second time in Kyoto, and I had only been to Kiyomizu Temple and the Nishiori Kimono Hall before.
This time I plan to spend more time here to deeply experience the charm of Kyoto. The cheapest section ticket of Kintetsu is priced at JPY. It is still a bit expensive within three stations. It is said that many transportation systems in China are for charity, but not in Japan. So many private railways are for making money, so if the journey is long or you need to take a round trip in a short period of time, you can take it.
It is more cost-effective to buy discount tickets. Before getting on the train, Yunluo and An Chuyu strolled around the bookstore next to the station. As soon as they entered the store, they saw that Yunluo's favorite comics had been serialized to the volume... This comic, which has been popular in Japan and even the world since the 1970s, is indeed unusually long-lived. In Japan, the general best-selling games.
Books, CDs and peripherals all need to be booked in advance so that manufacturers can better arrange publishing and production. When Yunluo was in middle school, he asked his good classmate Kui's father to bring a RIBON for Yunluo when he was on a business trip. Although he couldn't understand the words at that time, he felt very satisfied when holding it in his hand. These cute comic series have entrusted many girls with unrealistic dreams.
Indeed, when you are a teenager, everything is possible in the future, but now, you can only continue on the path you have chosen. In Japan, the new school term starts in spring, and children need to wear big flowers on the first day of school, and the colors can be chosen. You can imagine how cute it is to see a group of children wearing flowers running to school, in order to create a good atmosphere and a good mood.
The Japanese really spared no effort. If the warning signs were made like this, would you be more receptive? Yunluo prefers this kind of warning signs that can make people smile compared to the big-character posters that seem to follow the rules. If it is just to cope with the work, there is no need to do more of this. This webmaster must love his job very much.
I sincerely hope that no regrettable accidents will happen in the area I am responsible for. In Japan, the new semester starts in spring. Children need to wear big flowers on the first day of school. You can imagine how cute it is to see a group of children wearing flowers and running to school. In order to create a good atmosphere and a good mood, the Japanese really spare no effort.
Seeing this platform reminded Yunluo of the Pingxi Line he had taken in Taiwan. Except for the slightly different words, the other scenes were really too similar. This was Japan's local train, which was different from the train Yunluo and An Chu had encountered. It was more like a subway that shuttled between cities and could accommodate more people.
Yunluo thinks that if China's provincial transportation can emulate Japan's local trains, the pressure on transportation will be reduced a lot. There are parking spaces for the disabled at the door of each carriage. In Japan, you can see many facilities that care for vulnerable groups. Although it is an aging society, the living conditions of the elderly in China and Japan are completely different.
I still remember seeing a Japanese old man in a wheelchair with a ventilator in the Puppet Manchukuo Palace in Changchun. I was shocked. Even if he was terminally ill, he still wanted to enjoy life. How could Yunluo and An Chuyu, who were relatively healthy in comparison, just waste their time? Every time I see the route map of Japan's railways and subways, I always feel depressed.
I had to look at each station carefully, searching for the one Yunluo and An Chuyu were going to among a bunch of similar station names. Google Maps provided transfer routes, but I didn't know exactly which station to transfer to and how to transfer until I got there. HELLO, Kyoto, I had to start researching the next route after arriving at the station... It was predictably confusing.
A dizzy feeling... Finally arrived in Kyoto! Yunluo and An Chuyu were greeted by a geisha-style poster at the station. They immediately felt very familiar. To attract people, advertisements must be down-to-earth. The luggage storage boxes here feel like a cherry blossom rain. In fact, except that the boxes are small, this convenient way of storage does not require you to look at people's faces or be afraid of being ripped off.
It's really impeccable. It's just that Kyoto's subway is so complicated. Different colored lines belong to different companies. You can feel it. In China, I'm used to taking all state-owned and unified public transportation. I don't like this kind of transportation method that I have to pay to another company just to change lines.
Yunluo and An Chuyu used their trained eyes to find their destination, Shijo Kawaramachi, in the tangled subway lines. Subway tickets were not cheap, which made Yunluo and An Chuyu decide to buy a city pass to visit Kyoto tomorrow. Because Kyoto is a replica of Chang'an, and there were many alleys in the ancient Chinese metropolis.
The youth hostel that Yunluo and Anchuyu booked was not far from the subway station according to the map, but Yunluo and Anchuyu walked around the streets for a long time before they found it. On the way, they also asked the girl from the real estate agency and the lady from the Family Mart, using gestures and poor Japanese and English. It was really not easy. I took this photo especially to show my friends in Taiwan.
It turns out that Kaohsiung's name is the same as Japan's. It must be very cool to drive from Kyoto to Kaohsiung. Japanese buses are very considerate of disabled people who ride wheelchairs alone. They will automatically tilt at every stop. It is convenient for wheelchairs to get off. It's very considerate. I took this photo to show my friends in Taiwan. It turns out that Kaohsiung's name is the same as Japan's.
It must be a cool feeling to drive from Kyoto to Kaohsiung. Japanese buses are very considerate of disabled people who ride in wheelchairs alone. Every time they arrive at a stop, they will automatically tilt to facilitate wheelchairs to get off. It's super considerate. Kyoto's avenues are similar to many big cities, and there are no outstanding features, but the interesting ones are the criss-crossing alleys. Walking through the alleys of Kyoto.
I found many charming shops and many shrines hidden in the corners of the city, which was quite rewarding. Starting from the Youth Hostel, you can reach the bustling Shijo Kawaramachi by walking through a quiet alley. At this time, you will have a special feeling of traveling through time. Some special designs can only be thought of by dreamers. Indeed, only the Japanese who have been immersed in dreams since childhood can think of them.
In order to realize so many weird creations. In Kyoto, there seem to be a lot of small shrines. You can see one almost every three or five steps. The frequency is similar to that of convenience stores that are open 24 hours a day. Each shrine enshrines different gods. If you want to visit them all, it will take a few days. Whether it is a street or an alley, public areas in Japan are very quiet.
I couldn't hear the hustle and bustle of the people around me, so I found a small shop and drank tea quietly. This is very suitable for the temperament of Kyoto. Yunluo and An Chuyu only crossed a few alleys, and the shops they encountered were already varied. Some were extremely simple, some had good image and temperament, some were desperate for cuteness, and some were scribbled but looked good...
Take this one for example. The design and furnishings are really different and original. Traditional Chinese characters are indeed cuter than simplified Chinese characters. Although I still didn't understand what this mysterious store does in the end, its overall design is really attractive. Yunluo and An Chuyu stopped to observe for a long time with their luggage. There is one thing worth emphasizing when shopping in Japan.
No matter where you are, in the city or in the countryside, it is very clean. Almost everyone in Japan is a Virgo and it is really hard for them to accept even a little bit of dirt. There are many izakayas and various Japanese restaurants around where Yunluo and An Chuyu live. It seems that Yunluo and An Chuyu's stomachs are blessed. After completing the accommodation procedures, put away the luggage.
Yunluo and An Chuyu immediately started to visit Shijo Kawaramachi. It is said that this place is the favorite of young people in Kyoto. It is indeed very lively outside the street, which is completely different from the quiet alley. Yunluo and An Chuyu seemed to have mistakenly entered a store for otakus. As soon as they entered the door, they saw special COSPLAY costumes, which should be made in China.
In addition to the familiar maid and school uniforms, there are even superhero outfits. I'm amazed... Next to that store is the electronics store that attracts many Chinese tourists. Although this is my third time in Japan, it is the first time I know that there is a % tax refund when buying things. Has the influx of Chinese tourists changed Japan?
When I saw UnionPay was ranked first among the card swiping symbols, I couldn't help but laugh... The first time I came to Japan, it was only popular to buy drugstore cosmetics. The second time, people started buying ceramic knives and rice cookers. The third time, toilet lids actually became a hot item... In just a few years, things have changed rapidly. In fact, when I first saw a Japanese toilet lid, I already wanted to take it home.
But when I thought about how troublesome it would be to carry, and that what I bought might be made in China, I decided to hold on. As expected, there were a lot of students on this street. Japanese school uniforms were really nice, unlike Yunluo and An Chuyu, who always looked tacky. Pretty school uniforms were also a major reason for them to choose the school. On the contrary, Yunluo and An Chuyu's school uniforms were very pretty.
That terrible uniformity simply wiped out everyone's youth. You thought this was a store? In fact, it is a small shrine located on the street. The layout of Kyoto is the same as that of Xi'an, but it is obvious that the various buildings and cultures are better preserved than those in Xi'an. Dinner is the expected Japanese hot pot. Looking at the dazzling array of varieties, I don't know what to choose.
Finally, I chose a familiar and cheap Hakata-style hot pot. I thought it would be a pot with a lot of meat, but it turned out to be a good soup with almost nothing else. I ate a few slices of cabbage in a short time. It turned out that this is the real Hakata-style hot pot. It was all because of the cute pig in Spirited Away that fooled Yunluo.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Although the streets of China are full of various Japanese cuisines, they are still slightly different from the real cuisines in Japan. Sitting next to Yunluo and An Chuyu were couples, and it was really romantic to eat and watch the night view in Shijo Kawaramachi. I really couldn't refuse such a cute advertisement, although I felt it wouldn't be too cheap.
But I still mustered up the courage. I finally came to Japan, it's not worth it to save money. The service in Japan is good, but it doesn't mean the food is served quickly. They use hand bells to call the waiters. I really feel like I will never grow up in Japan. They are full of childishness in everything. I finished this pot of meat in just a few bites.
In the second half, Yunluo and An Chuyu spent most of their time eating cabbage and bean sprouts, and tasting Hakata-style soup. However, it is said that there are not many authentic Japanese hot pot ingredients. At least from the perspective of ingredients and types, China is the real king of hot pot... Kirin has a great influence in Japan. It is comparable to Nissin. If you come to Japan, you must try their Calpis.
A lactic acid beverage with a very special taste, which is unforgettable. In Japan, housewife is a very respectable profession, and the division of labor between husband and wife is very clear. It is very important to be able to do housework well. In fact, Yunluo is very traditional. If possible, I really want to learn from these Japanese wives, do housework seriously, and take good care of my husband and family.
Just live happily for the rest of your life. It is also an achievement. Learning Chinese well is a very useful skill in Japan. Nowadays, the exchanges between the two countries are gradually increasing, and more and more Japanese people know Chinese. Language should not be the biggest obstacle. In the Chinese travel books in Japan, Xiamen is marked with Katakana. To some extent, the Japanese still respect Yunluo and An Chuyu.
The local dialect, including Gulangyu, is also completely in accordance with the pronunciation of Minnan dialect instead of Mandarin. The old streets of Kyoto are still preserved in their original appearance, but it doesn't feel too abrupt. The singing of street performers is melodious and pleasant. It makes people feel that they are worthy of gratitude for their wonderful performances. Compared with those "street performers" in China who show off their emotions and beg for sympathy on the streets, they seem much more professional.
Although it seems a bit awkward, it is understandable. Almost all countries think they are the center of the world. Surrounded by thousands of countries, even if Japan is small in size, it is still a big country. Yunluo and An Chuyu kept shopping until all the shops in the shopping street closed one by one. They were strict with themselves and had a very regular schedule. Because taxi fares in Japan are very high, if you don't live nearby, you won't stay too late and usually take the bus home in advance. Japanese otakus are so happy.
Even when eating instant noodles, there are two-dimensional anime girls accompanying them, why are there no flower boys? At the same time, it is also a benefit for Yunluo and An Chuyu, who love to eat instant noodles. HOURS is a capsule hotel chain in Japan. It is said that only one person can stay for a few hours. In fact, I originally planned to stay in this one. Yunluo really likes their simple white + black design.
It feels super cool, but unfortunately this hotel is very popular, and it was already fully booked on the day Yunluo and An Chuyu made an appointment to check in. Okay, now I would like to introduce the international youth hostel that Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed in in Kyoto! After being cheated by many domestic "international youth hostels" that claim to be "international youth hostels" or even really registered "international youth hostels".
Yunluo has never taken feelings seriously. Living in a youth hostel and sleeping on a bed should not be an experience worth showing off. The standards for measuring a good place to stay are whether the accommodation is comfortable, the environment is good, the transportation is convenient, and the service is warm. Yunluo thinks that Khaosan Kyoto Backpackers Hostel basically meets these points, except that it is a bit troublesome to make the bed by yourself.
Everything else is acceptable. The most important thing is that the bathroom in Japan is really convenient and clean, and it is reassuring even if it is shared. The sign of the youth hostel is actually very eye-catching, but because it was late when we arrived, it took a little longer to find it. Even the lady at the Familymart next door didn't recognize it. There are many activities in the youth hostel.
All guests staying in the hotel are welcome to participate, which makes Yunluo and An Chuyu feel very close. The complicated map of Kyoto is seen again, but this map uses cartoon symbols to record the important attractions in Kyoto and the surrounding areas, which is much clearer than the complicated subway map. You can see all the staff of the youth hostel at the front desk.
Yunluo and Anchuyu were greeted by ERIKO and YUKI, who have the same name as Yunluo's Japanese friends. And they happened to be in Kyoto. The hostel also prepared a variety of gadgets that you might need for foreign tourists, including a very useful calculator! Yunluo forgot to bring a three-pin adapter, so she had to borrow one at every store. (~^~)
