(Annual salary must be more than 10,000 yuan) Retired personnel.
Only a copy of the retirement certificate is provided. [Transportation] Transportation is divided into two parts: transportation to and from Japan, and transportation within Japan. Transportation to and from Japan is generally by plane. Usually, if you fly to Honshu, it is Tokyo (Narita Airport, Haneda Airport) or Osaka (Kansai International Airport). There is not much to say about booking air tickets.
However, I would like to introduce the situation of Tianjin Airport to friends in Beijing. Starting from 2010, if you take the high-speed rail from Beijing to Tianjin, and then transfer to the subway/airport bus to Tianjin Binhai Airport to take a plane, the round-trip high-speed rail ticket and subway/airport bus ticket can be reimbursed. Please note that it is round-trip. In other words.
If you fly back to Tianjin Binhai Airport, the high-speed rail ticket back to Beijing can also be reimbursed. So, if you depart from Beijing, you might as well check the airfare in Tianjin. Domestic transportation in Japan: This is a relatively large system. First of all, I recommend a blog that Yunluo found when preparing for the trip. It is the most detailed blog introducing Japanese transportation.
I highly recommend it to friends who are planning to travel independently. However, the information in the blog is very detailed, which will make people put more effort in the early preparation. I personally feel that the blog does not necessarily refer to the previous guides on how to choose the route between the two places. The key is to learn how to choose transportation. Yunluo summarizes it as concisely as possible here.
For more detailed information, please visit the blog of Xiaoqi Shao Nian. 1. Types of transportation There are four common terms for transportation in Japan: JR, private railways, subways, and buses. () JR: Japan Railway, which was formerly the Japanese National Railway. It should not be state-owned now; it covers a wide range, including intercity transportation and urban transportation.
The Shinkansen is part of the JR system, and is mainly used for intercity transportation, running through the entire country of Japan. In major cities, there are also JR-owned trams, subways, and even buses. () Private railways: Compared to the former national railways, privately operated railways also provide both intercity and intra-city transportation. The more common ones in the Kansai region include Hankyu Railway, etc.
Subway: Usually it is operated by the city. You will see "Osaka City XXX Line" on the map. Most maps will not say "XX City" but just "XX Line". It may be easy to confuse it with the JR and private railway line names at first. The solution is to first check what JR and private railway lines are in the city you want to check.
Then the rest are basically municipal subway lines. () Bus: Basically, among the major cities in Honshu, only Kyoto relies more on buses for transportation. () In addition, there are some more local characteristics, such as the Hakone Mountain Climbing Line, cable cars, etc. Basically, there are relatively few. , Models to understand what transportation there are.
Next, we need to clarify several types of trains: the common ones include ordinary, express, and special express, which are the names of private railways and JR city lines. The JR Shinkansen uses different names: こだま, ひかり, and のぞみ, which can actually be understood as ordinary, express, and special express, but they sound nicer.
Of course, this name is actually very confusing. Many private railways have various types of models such as commuter express, fast, etc. Subways and buses do not distinguish between these. Yunluo was also confused when he first saw these, but in fact, it is enough to figure out the difference between them. In fact, the difference between them is the different stops. The slowest train (ordinary) stops at every station.
The middle trains (express, fast, etc.) stop at every station in some sections and skip some stations in other sections, while the fastest trains (special express, commuter express, etc.) basically only stop at major stations throughout the entire journey. So. When you check the train schedule, just look at which stations it will stop at, and it doesn't matter what they are called. I highly recommend Google Maps for traffic information, where you can find the timetables for all routes.
When preparing for the trip, you can basically calculate how long the journey will take relatively accurately. At the same time, it is also recommended to prepare Google Maps on your mobile phone so that you can locate and check the route at any time when you are in Japan. It is very convenient, but the more troublesome thing is that it cannot be accessed in China. Reserved seats and free seats are basically only available on the Shinkansen and some long-distance private railways.
As the name implies, you choose your seat in advance. Unreserved seats are not assigned seats. You can sit wherever you want if there are seats on the bus. If you have a seat, you have to stand, which is a bit like our standing tickets. The fare basically increases according to the distance. You can check the route map in the station to find out how much it costs to a specific station. Of course, you can also check Google Maps, which will tell you directly.
Checking the basic fare is actually quite simple, so I won't go into details. The more troublesome part is the express ticket. If you want to take the express train or the Shinkansen's Nozomi train on a JR train, you need to buy an express ticket separately. In particular, if you use a pass such as the JR Pass, you also need to buy an express ticket separately to take the express train or the Nozomi train.
Private railways generally don't use it. So if you're worried about not knowing when to buy the express ticket, it's recommended to use private railways more often. Private railways are generally cheaper than JR fares. But if you're like Yunluo, because you need to take two long-distance Shinkansens, so you choose a pass like JRPass, then in order to maximize the value of the pass.
You can make more use of JR lines, especially subway lines with no difference in train numbers. In addition, for Shinkansen and other lines that involve designated seats or self-owned seats, you also need to pay extra for designated seats. The special JRPass can designate seats for free. How to buy tickets? In fact, buying tickets is not difficult. There are generally two ways to buy tickets: First, you need to find a ticket machine.
Buy tickets based on fares: This is when the buy ticket button on the ticket machine only has a price, so you need to look up at the route map first to see how much the station you want to go to will cost, then put the money in and choose the fare () Buy tickets based on stations: This is even simpler, just put the money in, choose the station, and then entering and exiting the station is not difficult. Most of the tickets in Japan are paper tickets.
There are a few things to note when getting on the bus. If you are a man, be careful not to get into the women's car. Also, some buses will split into two at a certain station halfway, and the second half will not go, or the first and second halves will go to different destinations. Pay attention to the broadcast.
If you are not good at Japanese, be careful to follow the crowd. Generally, if you see a large group of people getting off the train, it is better to be vigilant. Regarding various types of passes, Yunluo has studied the following types, and the commonly used ones are also these: () JRPass, which has day and day passes for adults and children, starting from the first day of use.
You can take any JR route within the specified number of days. Note that as mentioned above, you need to purchase an additional express ticket for the express and Shinkansen. How to buy: You must buy it outside of Japan, that is, buy it in our country, and then take the voucher to the designated place in Japan to exchange the ticket (both Osaka and Tokyo airports have them).
When exchanging your ticket, you need to specify the start date of use. After it takes effect, it cannot be changed. In addition, if you have a detailed itinerary, you should have basically determined which Shinkansen train you will take on which day when you exchange your ticket. You can get a designated seat ticket (designated train, designated seat) when you exchange your ticket.
No additional payment is required. Purchase advice: Basically, only if you need to take more than one long-distance Shinkansen can the ticket price be worth it. For people like Yunluo and An Chuyu who need to travel between Osaka and Tokyo within one day and take the JR subway several times in Tokyo, it is more cost-effective. Note: JRPass can only be used to ride the Shinkansen Kodama and Hikari.
The Nozomi is not allowed. In addition, the JR Pass is only sold to non-Japanese people. () Kansai Pass is more suitable for friends who stay in Kansai for a long time. It allows unlimited rides on Kansai's private railways and subways within a specified period. Purchase advice: If you need to go to relatively far places such as Himeji and Arima in Kansai, it is worth the price.
Otherwise, it is not necessarily the case. It is recommended to calculate it in advance. It is not suitable for Yunluo and An Chuyu to buy the Kansai Pass, so I did not check how to buy it. () Kyoto Bus One-Day Pass is only applicable to Kyoto. You can take Kyoto buses unlimited times within one day. How to buy: Available at Kansai Airport and major stations, 1 yen per ticket.
Purchase suggestion: A pass that is highly recommended in Kyoto, because it is actually quite troublesome to buy a ticket in cash to take the bus. With this one-day pass, as long as you take more than one bus in Kyoto in one day (starting from 10 yen per bus), it is basically worth the fare. Several special transportation sections () Hakone Tozan Line: This is actually no different from ordinary trams and railways.
I won't say much, but you usually get on the train at Odawara Station. () Hakone Tozan Cable Car: If you plan to go to Owakudani and Lake Ashi, you can just buy a round-trip ticket to Lake Ashi. You can get off at any station and get on again. It will not affect your visit to the scenic spots along the way. Of course, if you don't plan to go to Lake Ashi, you can buy a ticket to Owakudani, it depends on your needs.
【Accommodation】Recommendation The reason why I recommend Jalan is that it is more down-to-earth. When selecting hotels, you can select according to bathing places, hot springs, Japanese/Western-style rooms, etc. Booking is not as good as Jalan in this respect. However, there are two troubles with Jalan. The first is that it is best to know Japanese. Although there is a Chinese version, there are relatively few hotels with Chinese versions.
Second, even if you know Japanese, you still need to have a more authentic Japanese address and contact person, because you need to fill it in when booking (not required for the Chinese version). Yunluo and An Chuyu paid special attention to being able to take a hot spring bath throughout the trip, which is very beneficial for physical recovery. This time, I especially recommend two accommodations: "Hotel Hokke Club Osaka" in Osaka.
And Hakone's "Rakuraka", but Tokyo's Hokke is not recommended. Osaka (ホテル法華クラブOsaka): Hakone (Rakuraka): Advantages: good environment, good service, satisfactory cooking level, good hot springs, and clerks speak fluent Chinese. Disadvantages: You have to climb a steep slope to get to [Preparation before the trip] Clothes.
It is still a little cold in Japan, but it is hot inside the mall. If you do a lot of shopping, you can wear thin clothes with a thick coat. Internet plan: Mobile wifi is recommended, which can last for about a day and has good signal coverage. There are many brands, so you can compare more. Yunluo and Anchuyu were booked directly on Ctrip, and picked up and returned at Tianjin Airport. Food.
Basically, you don't need to prepare any food when you go to Japan. If you like to drink hot water, don't worry too much. Hotels generally provide electric kettles, but restaurants may not provide hot water. Conversion plug: Required Plug board: Required Laptop: Use a multi-purpose knife to store photos: Remember to check in toiletries: Prepare a hair dryer and electric kettle as needed: No important items are needed.
Passport (visa), ID card, cash, credit/debit card (UnionPay and VISA are recommended), train tickets, air tickets, exchange vouchers, etc. Empty box: If you need to buy large items (for example, Yunluo and An Chuyu brought a bucket of milk powder), you can consider bringing an empty box, and then put the small box inside the big box to carry the photographic equipment.
The equipment used for this trip is D, -II (purchased in Japan), L, L. Personally, I feel that in Japan, telephoto and ultra-wide are not very meaningful. [Food] In Japan, food is also an important part of the journey. 1. Osaka: The most concentrated place for food in Osaka is Dotonbori, and the most famous symbol of Dotonbori is the big crab of Kani Doraku.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
And the Glico sign, it's easy to find, just walk north from Namba Station on the Midosuji Subway Line. () Takoyaki (たこ焼き) (usually - different yen per serving) can be found everywhere in Dotonbori. They are all delicious. () Okonomiyaki (お好焼き) (about - different yen per serving, one serving is basically enough for one person).
It is as common as takoyaki, a vegetable pancake sprinkled with various ingredients and sauces, and then grilled and eaten. The restaurant Yunluo and An Chuyu went to in Shinsaibashi () Yakitori (焼き鳥) (the price varies greatly, depending on the size of the skewers) is also a famous delicacy in Kansai. However, the restaurant Yunluo and An Chuyu ate was just average, and most izakayas have it.
Ramen (ラーメン, a bowl of noodles is usually 100 yen, and you can usually pay more for noodles or additional ingredients, side dishes, etc.) Ramen is an important part of Japanese food culture. The most famous ramen restaurant is Ichiran, and there are also branches of Kamuzou and Kinryu. Yunluo and An Chuyu both ate at Dotonbori, and the taste was good, with a thick soup.
Some people may find it a bit greasy. The way to order is to put money in the vending machine at the door to get a ticket, and then go inside to hand in the ticket and wait for the meal. , Kyoto () Kura Sushi (about 100 yen per person) First. Since Kinkakuji Temple and other attractions in Kyoto are relatively scattered, you may have to arrange a meal here. Kura Sushi is especially recommended here.
On the way from Kinkakuji to Ryoanji, there is a conveyor belt sushi restaurant. All items are priced at ¥ per plate, and there are also high-priced single-order items. The food is good and cheap, and basically you can eat a lot within RMB per person. Yunluo and Anchu met and later found another branch near Shinagawa Station in Tokyo. () Owariya (about ¥ per person) is near Nijo Castle and is a restaurant for eating soba noodles.
The environment is very good. It is said that it was used to be provided for the emperor. As for the taste, it depends on whether you like soba noodles. If you like it, it is delicious. A little expensive, but acceptable () The BBQ buffet (about Japanese yen per person, including drinks) is also highly recommended, although a little expensive. But you can order as much meat as you want!
The most important thing is that they also have wagyu beef. There are many branches. Yunluo and Anchuyu went to the one near Shijo Kawaramachi Station. () Wakasa-ya (about 100 yen per person) seafood donburi. Fresh and strong, recommended. There are also many branches. Yunluo and Anchuyu went to the one on Sanjo famous shopping street () Daikokuya (about 100 yen per person) should focus on weight loss and healthy eating.
It is not recommended for travelers who need to fill their stomachs. Hakone Food in Hakone is generally provided by the hotel where you stay. The most important things for traveling in Hakone are Japanese-style accommodation, food, hot springs, and Mount Fuji. If you choose a plan that does not include meals, it is generally difficult to find food near the hotel.
Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed at Rakuho, which is worth recommending for its kaiseki dinner. They got up early in the morning and had breakfast at the Grandbach Hotel. The breakfast was really as rumored, very rich and tasted good. There were Western and Japanese options for them to choose from. Yunluo and An Chuyu chose Western and Japanese respectively.
I tried them all. They were all pretty good. Fruits, milk drinks and small meals were free and self-service. The restaurant of the Grandbach Hotel, on the right is a self-service fruit drink and small snacks. Breakfast for two, a full table. This is a Western breakfast, milk, bread and other meals, stacked in three layers, quite a rich Japanese breakfast. Yunluo and An first met on the noon train to Shirahama.
After breakfast, we took advantage of this free time to go to the mall to buy some small gifts. One advantage of shopping in Japanese malls is that they will ask whether you are using the goods for yourself or as a gift. If you are giving it as a gift, they will wrap it with gift paper and ribbons for free. They are very careful and the wrapping is very beautiful. The Kyoto mall wrapped small gifts for Yunluo and An Chuyu for free.
After the staff bought the things, they returned to the hotel to pick up the luggage and set off for Kyoto Station. After walking a few steps, they saw the sign of the Grand Bach Hotel where Yunluo and An Chuyu were staying in the Shijo-dori corridor. They took a taxi directly to BIGCAMERA near the station. The driver's service was still great. He helped with the heavy luggage and was full of smiles. Although taking a taxi in Kyoto is slightly more expensive than in China.
But I feel that the treatment is worth it. The car is very clean and spotless. The driver wears white gloves while driving. The service attitude is also very good and answers all questions. The car door opens automatically. The driver will wait for you to get on and off the car before opening and closing the door. It is very reassuring. Before going to Shirahama. (~^~)
