I reluctantly bid farewell to the lovely Gion and Hanami-koji, and prepared to walk back to Shijo Kawaramachi, which was actually very close. I crossed the Kamo River, and along the way there were theaters of all sizes related to geishas and Noh. What Yunluo saw was Japan's persistence and inheritance of traditional culture, even though the times are changing rapidly.

These beautiful art forms should find ways to survive and find opportunities to show their brilliant and dazzling light again, and in Japan, they really did it. These theaters occasionally perform famous plays. This time I learned that many of the famous geishas are hereditary, and male geishas are still the mainstream.

Japan's persistence in traditional culture is really admirable. {Japanese Geisha originated in Tokyo and Osaka in the 18th century. The original geisha were all men, and wandered outside the Kyoto town boundary, commonly known as Machi-ki, mainly performing dance and musical instruments in machi brothels and entertainment venues for a living. In the middle of the 18th century, the profession of geisha was gradually replaced by women.

This tradition has been continued to this day. }{Japanese geisha originated in Tokyo and Osaka in the 18th century.

I saw a lottery stall right after I made a wish at the shrine. If I hadn't been in Japan so short, I would have wanted to buy a ticket to see if I could win. It would be a shame if I couldn't claim the prize. The Kamogawa River, which may have had a gloomy historical background, has now become a romantic lover's river. It is said that if the weather is clear and the wind is gentle, the river will be full of water.

The river bank was bustling with couples strolling and passers-by relaxing. Walking on a rainy day is a very disappointing thing, but when Yunluo and An Chuyu walked to the New Kyogoku Commercial Street, they immediately became excited again. It was almost a fully indoor pedestrian street-style shopping environment, more reliable than the arcade, and they didn't need to hold an umbrella when crossing the road.

Yunluo and Anchuyu's trip is coming to an end, and they can start their shopping plan in Kansai. There are cherry blossoms to see while shopping indoors, and every store and street is decorated very delicately and cutely. It fully mobilizes the shopping desire of customers. In fact, the entire shopping street is composed of several markets, some of which have a very long history.

Nishiki Market has been around for years... When I saw traditional treasures that Japanese people used to rush to buy instead of dazzling cosmetics and small appliances, I felt a little relieved. At least there is still a piece of pure land that has not been touched by a large number of foreign tourists. I walked past the Hokkaido Crab General Kyoto store that my friend had been thinking about.

Seeing these small quantity, many varieties and high prices, although I made up my mind to go into the store to inquire, I still couldn't bear to wait for a table. It's troublesome not to make a reservation in advance in Japan. And I have tried this kind of crab meat in Hokkaido before. It's delicious, but the taste is not amazing. In the end, Yunluo and An Chuyu silently chose a mixed meal in Japanese food - egg! Bao! Rice!

This is a very cute shop. For a greedy person like Yunluo, you must order a double combo to satisfy your craving. The essence of the Japanese service industry is that they can have whatever you want and even what you can't think of. This is a shrine in the Shinkyogoku shopping street... Maybe because there are too many shrines in Kyoto, you will encounter one no matter what commercial district you build.

Why not hide it in the bustling city? Let Yunluo and An Chuyu, who are interested, slowly discover it. As for whether they can find the right gods, it depends on fate. This is the first time that Yunluo has seen the gods being worshipped clearly. Do they hide behind the scenes during the day and only show up at night? You can pray for your future here.

I feel that the small shrines in Kyoto are particularly cute when they are lit up. They are simple, warm and exquisite, without the weird and gloomy atmosphere created in comics and film and television works. The gashapon machine at the entrance of the bookstore has a wide variety of products. It seems that the mainstream Japanese anime in recent years has been distorted a lot, and it is difficult to see a normal male and female CP.

I remember being very surprised when I saw a large claw machine store in Tamsui, Taiwan. It turns out that claw machines can not only grab dolls, but also iPhones, iPads, and daily necessities. In Japan, the variety is even richer, and many products are sold in limited quantities. I wonder if the Japanese have become numb to so many limited editions.

Yunluo and An Chuyu finished the last leg of their trip in Kyoto on the road of pious prayer. No matter which shrine they were in or which god they were facing, Yunluo sincerely hoped that the wish they made would come true. Kyoto is a very classic and romantic city. This time, I made up for the regret of just passing by it in a hurry last time, but I still felt that I couldn't see enough of this city.

As long as the wish comes true, there will definitely be another time to fulfill it. Even if it cannot be realized, Yunluo will still strive for the next time, come to Kyoto again, meet the people he wants to meet, do the things he wants to do, and see the scenery he wants to see.

Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived at Osaka, the last stop of their trip to Kansai, Japan. Compared with Nara and Kyoto, Osaka does not have many historical sites, but more modern urban style. Of course, there are duty-free shops everywhere... Kyoto Tower, although not very famous, almost every city in Japan has a similar coordinate.

And each has its own characteristics. The Japanese are really good at seeking spiritual symbols. In fact, I was really reluctant to leave Kyoto Station, but such a city with such a rich history is not enough to visit once or twice. I will leave the regrets of knowing and not knowing for the next time. Yunluo will come back. On Japanese trains and subways, everyone is looking down at their phones.

The biggest change is that they used to use more domestic flip phones, but now they have all switched to Apple touch-screen phones. It is said that the most beautiful night view in Osaka is in Umeda. I originally planned to take the opportunity to go there to see it, but it was already a little late when I arrived in Osaka. Looking at the bustling commercial district near the station, I could only imagine the more beautiful scenery in my mind under the flashing neon lights at night.

Each station in Japan has its own characteristics. A series of bright flowers add to the beauty of the surrounding environment and improve the first impression of visitors from afar. Although Japanese girls are among the best in Asia in chasing famous brands, it is their domestic brands that are more popular in Japan, not relying on publicity and so-called national spirit.

The product quality is really good, so it can be recognized by their picky citizens. The subway and bus in Osaka are not cheap, but because Yunluo and An Chuyu basically do not need other transportation except taking a bus to Shinsaibashi to stay in the hotel and the last leg to the airport, they did not want to buy discount tickets, those multi-day passes that cost thousands of yuan.

It is still more suitable for tourists who stay here for a few days. When I returned to Japan, I noticed that I often saw these free job advertisements near their stations or convenience stores. Most of them were part-time jobs in different regions. There were even general resume forms for sale on the shelves! This also shows that there is a gap between the demand for employment and the demand for work.

Finding a job is not easy, and finding a good job is even harder. In fact, there are not many people riding bicycles on the road, but you can often see a row of bicycles parked on the roadside. Handsome, rich, white and beautiful people ride bicycles for leisure and health. But most of them are ordinary bicycles. Maybe because public transportation is too expensive, it is more reliable to ride a bicycle by yourself.

The night was unexpectedly quiet, and most of the shops had closed early, leaving only the cute storefronts to inspire imagination. In Japan, the only places that can be bustling with people late at night are izakayas. There are many izakayas that specialize in barbecue near the capsule hotel where Yunluo and Anchuyu live, and they all look delicious.

Osaka does not look as traditional as Kyoto and Nara, and it has a lot of exotic elements, so it is not surprising to see American-style houses on the road, and the frequency of high-rise buildings in front of you is also higher than other cities in Kansai. This time I couldn't help but go into McDonald's and ordered the Japanese special burger that I had been thinking about.

There is also Yunluo's favorite milkshake, which has been cancelled in mainland China. It seems that the next time I want to drink milkshake, I have to wait until I go abroad... This is my first experience with a capsule hotel in Japan. Maybe because it has been opened for a while, the beds are not as good as those in Shenzhen. But the bathroom system is super clean and easy to use. Japanese people pay great attention to privacy.

Although the program is a bit cumbersome to use, it is very suitable for me. This is what Yunluo wants. It is the best equipment for traveling alone. When you go to Japan, you must experience their capsule hotel once. Although my companions have some complaints, saying that the accommodation is getting worse and worse, from chain business hotels to youth hostels, and on the last day, they actually stayed in a capsule. But many things cannot be judged by appearance.

You will know after you live there. After all, high cost performance is what ordinary people like Yunluo and An Chuyu think is really "good". On the last day of this trip to Kansai, Yunluo and An Chuyu got up a little earlier and took the opportunity to take a look at the Tsutenkaku in Osaka before the shops opened. Because it was not far away, Yunluo and An Chuyu walked directly over.

By the way, warm up for the shopping later. Most of the people who come to watch the morning show are elderly people. They line up in an orderly manner. Kansai is the most famous comedy production center in Japan. Many funny comedians come from Osaka with a special accent. Dotonbori is a large and prosperous street along the south bank of the Dotonbori River. There are many movie theaters here.

The theater and various world-famous Japanese snacks make it a great place to spend a whole day without getting bored. I don't know who told Yunluo that this sign has been removed. Yunluo wanted to come and see what has been replaced with regret, but he saw that the billboard was still hanging in place. It's not easy to make an advertisement a symbol of the area.

Even if the rent of advertising space is high, we can't give it up easily. Even if the brand is gone, the spirit must always be there. This is also a paradise for foodies. In addition to the famous food stores chained throughout Japan, there are all kinds of snacks, which are quite colorful. I saw the celebration promotion of the New Year again, but the protagonist was changed to Dotonbori. It is really a famous street with a long history and old shops.

After many years, Shinsaibashi is still the same. From many details, we can see that the Japanese are more persistent and perseverant than Yunluo and An Chuyu. Sometimes we really have to thank them for preserving the essence of Yunluo and An Chuyu's ancestral culture. Interesting manhole cover, Osaka Castle surrounded by cherry blossoms, this manhole cover feels newer.

The rain still retains some color. The Babel Pedestrian Street in the morning is deserted. Many developed cities lose their charm during the day, but the night can conceal a lot of reality and exaggerate a lot of illusions. After careful observation along the way, I found that transportation tickets can be bought not only from vending machines, but also from these small shops in the business district.

The best thing is that you can get discounts when you buy here. Private transportation is convenient for multiple platforms to sell, and there is more or less competition. As long as you are willing to spend time looking and searching, it is beneficial to passengers to some extent. Japan's MUJI is truly affordable and worthwhile. As a foreigner, you can get special discounts.

We must sneer at the Muji products that are so expensive in China. Those unattainable prices are really unscrupulous... In Osaka, there are friendly Chinese signs all the way. Muji's discount notices are in simplified Chinese. The staff who can speak Chinese in the store are the best publicity. Duty-free shops have staff who specialize in serving Chinese people.

There is even a special Chinese counter, which is very touching. A country can change even its own pillar industry for you. As expected, economic strength is the most powerful weapon. In Japan, duty-free goods need to be checked at customs. Therefore, each store will put a sealed bag on you and can only open it after you pass through customs. I am quite impressed.

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

I originally thought that Osaka products were better quality and cheaper, but because there are too many Chinese tourists here in recent years, Yunluo found that the prices of many products are higher than Kyoto, but there is no turning back. I can only comfort myself that at least it is cheaper than Tokyo. Foreign tourists still like Japanese cosmeceuticals, the huge number and variety of cosmetics and skin care products.

People have completely forgotten that this is actually a drugstore. Yunluo's Japanese friends are very curious about why everyone likes to go to drugstores to buy cosmetics...YUKI always says things that Yunluo can't answer. Once she said that in Japan, Chinese-made products are better than those in China. As a Chinese, I feel a little ashamed. Why can't we keep the best things for ourselves?

If one day these foreign tourists can come to China to buy domestic products, Yunluo and An Chuyu will be considered successful. Another advantage of buying things in other cities like Kyoto is that the supply is more abundant. After a series of tourist groups took turns to buy, many shelves in Osaka drugstores were empty...

Yunluo and An Chuyu had authentic Okonomiyaki for lunch in Shinsaibashi. They still remember the waiter’s cute Osaka accent. He served Yunluo and An Chuyu throughout the whole process, speaking both Japanese and English. Yunluo thought that he would be able to speak Chinese the next time they came... This was Yunluo’s first time eating Okonomiyaki, and she was curious about how this seemingly filling pancake was made.

Teppanyaki is also a very important type of complex Japanese cuisine. One okonomiyaki is not enough, so Yunluo and An Chuyu ordered another dry dish. They barely filled their stomachs. When ordering this drink, Yunluo asked WILA, who was studying in Japan, for her opinion. The drink she recommended was indeed good and tasted very good. The waiter had to ask several times to add that little bit of alcohol.

It can be seen that their service is indeed very careful and meticulous. Then. The friend sent Yunluo to catch the plane. She wanted to stay in Japan for a few more days, but Yunluo had to go back first because she had to go to work. She had already bought a discounted Nankai Electric Railway ticket at a roadside shop. It is said that this line is a bit of a monopoly of Yunluo, and many cooperative passes do not include it.

If you want to go to Osaka Airport, you have to buy it separately. The Japanese consortium really knows how to make money. It is not troublesome to buy tickets directly at Namba Station on the Nankai Line, but you have to buy it at the original price, there is no discount. Discount tickets are used in a time range. If you buy them in advance, they can be valid for a long time. I feel that their tickets are much more liquid than Yunluo and Anchuyu.

After a long drive, Yunluo finally arrived at Osaka Kansai International Airport. Surrounded by tourists from all over the world, there was a Korean couple next to him who were so clingy. The scene was like a Korean drama. The signs at Kansai International Airport were very clear, and the Japanese, who were not afraid of trouble, wanted to tell you every little detail.

Living in Japan, one must develop the ability to quickly extract useful information from a lot of complicated information. He hurriedly took a taxi here, but found that the Xiamen Airlines flight that Yunluo was going to take was the only one that was delayed for a full hour. He saw the notice of the significant delay, heard the continuous broadcasts throughout the terminal, and the ticketing staff expressed their deep apologies to Yunluo.

Yunluo was really flattered. In China, flight delays are common, and being on time is a surprise. Not to mention that the staff didn't feel embarrassed at all, and they answered the passengers' questions confidently. The service was even better. In comparison, Japan is really a place that easily spoils people. Because there was an extra hour, Yunluo used the time to start walking around the airport.

The tourists continued to shop for themselves and their friends. They seemed to be in high spirits and did not want to miss this rare opportunity. They swept through the airport stores. The most popular white lover was still in short supply after several restocks. The line at the checkout was super long. Since they had to wait so long, they might as well buy more. In Japan, it is easy for people to fall into a shopping cycle.

I couldn't pull it out. After finishing the last purchase, Yunluo sat quietly in the airport waiting to board the plane. I bought a Japanese limited edition matcha-flavored cola. The taste is really special. I recommend you try it. Japan's vending machines have become amazing. You can buy everything, even insurance can be handled by yourself. Buy an insurance before boarding the plane.

The service is really good, ensuring you a worry-free future. In Japan, I feel very secure when my flight is delayed, unlike in China, where even if I get on the plane, I may have to wait indefinitely, or I will be given a scheduled time, but in the end it will either be earlier or later. The insurance terms are all about avoiding risks, which makes people feel insecure.

The plane arrived as scheduled, Yunluo and An Chuyu boarded the plane on time and took off from Osaka to Xiamen. As soon as they arrived at Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, Yunluo found the Global Roaming office and successfully returned the portable WIFI. Everything was very convenient. Even if the departure and arrival airports were different, the procedures were the same. Yunluo's trip to Japan came to an end. (~^~)
