Another slope is called Kaishinzaka, which is a mockery of people who go home from the red-light district at the top of the slope. Higashizaka Azumazaka was also transformed into a slope after the fire in 1889. Originally, one was called Jogenji-zaka and the other was called Higashizaka, which merged into Atagozaka. Because it is very steep, it is the most suitable slope for viewing Hakodate Port from afar.
In the Meiji era, the bottom of Motoizaka was used as the base point for measuring kilometers, and it was the starting point of the mileage, so it was named Motoizaka. The end of Motoizaka is Motomachi Park. There are also attractions such as the Old Hakodate District Public Hall, the Commodore Perry's Memorial, and the Old British Consulate. Motoizaka was once an administrative base, and the government office was also established on this slope.
Such as Kameda Bansho, Hakodate Bugyosho, Kaitakushi, Toshima Branch Office, etc., so it was once called Yakusho-zaka (official office) and Goten-zaka (public office). Hiyorizaka means weather. On Hiyorizaka, you can easily see far away and judge the weather conditions, so it is called Hiyorizaka.
In addition, hawks (kites) are often seen around the Funama Jinja Shrine at the top of the slope, so the upper part of the slope is also called Tobi-zaka. Hachimanzaka is almost a must-visit place in Hakodate. It is very famous as a slope that is very Hakodate-style because it often appears in movies and TV dramas.
The slope used to end at Hakodate Hachimangu Shrine (moved to Tanito after the Great Fire of Hakodate), hence the name Hachimanzaka. Daisanzaka Daisanzaka was selected as one of the 100 best roads in Japan. The beautiful cobblestone road and strong exotic atmosphere, Motomachi Catholic Church is also here. Daisanzaka was the place where people used to go to the magistrate's office for business.
The origin of the simple sign at the entrance of the slope. Chachanobori is divided by the Motomachi Church Group, and Chachanobori is above Osanzaka. Chacha means grandfather in the Ainu (the native language of Hokkaido), because the slope is very steep, no matter old or young, they need to bend down like an old man to climb it.
Hence the name. Nijukkenzaka Nijukkenzaka is a quantifier, about 36 meters. Nijukkenzaka is about 36 meters wide, and should be the widest of the slopes in Hakodate. It was not that wide at first, and it was because after the Hakodate fire, in order to prevent the fire from spreading, all the slopes were repaired and widened.
It was once called Midorizaka because of the lush trees, or Daikomachi-zaka because there were many craftsmen nearby. In the 33rd year of the Meiji era, Hakodate Mountain was used as a fortress because the road was very wide. It was used to transport cannons. The Hakodate Branch of the Higashi Honganji Temple is also on the Nijukenzaka. Go down the Nanbuzaka intersection and walk towards this slope.
The top is the foot station of the Hakodate Mountain Cable Car. During the Edo Shogunate period, the Nanbu Domain's Jinya was located here, so it was named Nanbu-zaka. Now there is a monument below the Hakodate Mountain Cable Car parking lot. In addition, the old Marui Kanei Hakodate branch is also here. Citizens also call it Marui-zaka. Yachizaka Yachizaka was once the gateway to the tourist holy land of Yachi-to, so it was called Yachi-zaka.
However, due to the fire, the area was adjusted and now it leads to the cable car station at the foot of the mountain. Gokokujinjazaka is also known as Shiomizaka. It is named Gokokujinjazaka because it is where the Hakodate Gokokujinja Shrine is located. It seems that you can see Mt. Hakodate very clearly on this slope. There is a statue of Takadaya Kahei at the foot of the mountain. Asarizaka Asari is a clam.
A kind of shellfish. According to archaeological evidence, many clam shells eaten by ancient people were found on this road, so it is called Azaizaka (Rongyun black line). There is a primary school called Aoyagi Elementary School at the top of Aoyagi-zaka. It was once called Shengtianzaka because there was a Tendai sect Tenyuji temple on the road that enshrined the Great Saint Goshoten (Buddhist guardian deity).
It was once called Kasuga-zaka because the town above the slope was called Kasuga-machi. I didn't have much time in Hakodate, so I only walked to the more famous Hachiman-zaka and Moto-zaka. I also walked past Hiyazaka, part of Daisan-zaka and Nijuken-zaka. If you have enough time, choose a few slopes that you are interested in and climb to the top.
Looking down at Motomachi and Hakodate Port, I believe it is a great view.
Another thing that Yunluo finds very interesting is the roads in Otaru. This time, I only visited Sakaimachi Street. Of course, Sakaimachi Street is the most interesting. But if you have time to visit more in Otaru, there are some streets that are worth visiting. There is no specific reference material. I just list the streets that I find quite interesting.
Sakaimachi Street. It should be the most popular tourist spot besides Otaru Canal. With Nihon Gin-dori as the dividing line, it starts from the main store of Taisho Whistle House and goes all the way to the fairy tale intersection. It is a street full of fairy tale romance. Whistle House, seafood donburi, music box house, dessert shop... Almost all the essence of Otaru is concentrated here. Taisho Whistle House Kitaichi Whistle House.
The LeTao, the steam clock at the exotic fairy tale intersection at the end, and various hand-made experience workshops along the way are all highlights of Sakaimachi Street. Ironai Odori. Adjacent to the Nihon Gindori, known as the Wall Street of the North. There are many designated historical buildings in Otaru City, such as the former Mitsui Bank Otaru Branch. Ideba-koji is also near Ironai.
The Bank of Japan. The Wall Street of the North. From the Meiji era to the Taisho and Showa eras, it has been the largest financial center in Hokkaido. Many historical buildings made of stone and brick remain, such as the Financial Museum of the Former Bank of Japan Otaru Branch, the Former Hokkaido Bank Head Office, the Former Mitsubishi Bank Otaru Branch, and the Former Hokkaido Takushoku Bank Otaru Branch.
These buildings are all designated historic buildings by Otaru City, and most of them are now used as restaurants and hotels. Sushiya Street. In addition to glass, music boxes, and desserts, Otaru's specialty is sushi. On Sushiya Street, which is about 200 meters long, there are about 20 sushi shops, including Masa Sushi Main Store, Yamatoya, and Nihonbashi.
Speaking of Otaru's food tour, there are many restaurants on Shizuya Street, Miyako Street, and Hana-Gin-Dori Street around Sushiya, which are popular not only among tourists but also among locals. Otaru, like Hakodate, also has a famous slope, but I didn't go there due to time and interest. If you are interested, you can also read the relevant information.
In May, when willow catkins are flying around the Jiangnan River, the snow in Hokkaido has just faded. In my imagination, Hokkaido is the tram station in "The Existence of Yunluo and An Chuyu", the snowy land in "I Want to Tell You", and the warm sunset in the afternoon in "Love Letter". But for Yunluo and An Chuyu, who are visiting Hokkaido for the first time.
Hokkaido in May = cherry blossoms, hot springs and dairy products. Yunluo and Anchuyu rested for a day and headed straight to Otaru the next day. They took the bus to Temiya Park on a day when the flowers were in bloom. They had seen many beautiful pictures, but when they turned the corner of the city wall, they were still amazed by the white sea of flowers along the way.
I originally wanted to go to Furano to see the sea of flowers. But I didn't catch the right season. The lavender in Furano only blooms in July, but I heard that there are flowers in other seasons. I thought it would be nice to see poppies in May, but I was disappointed when I went there. There is only a small poppy field in the Shikicai Hill in Bibaushi. However, the Patchwork Road and Furano Farm are still renovating the soil.
But I didn't have any regrets if I didn't see it. I rode my bike all the way from Biei Station to the patchwork road. The highest point of Northwest Hill gave me a panoramic view of the whole Biei, which was still very refreshing. The streets of Biei Northwest Hill Then Yunluo and An Chuyu rode directly from Biei to Mima Niu. Yunluo and An Chuyu rented an electric bike. The half-hour ride was not strenuous.
There were almost no cars along the way. Yunluo and Anchu met a bicycle occupying the huge road. The green grass exuded the smell of fresh soil. The hot afternoon sun enveloped the quiet countryside of Hokkaido. The feeling of riding in a paradise was really good. There was only a small piece of poppy in the Four Seasons Color Hill of Meima Niu, but you can see super cute foodie alpacas in the Four Seasons Color Hill.
Because the flower fields in Furano are still green, Yunluo and An Chuyu did not stay in Furano for long, and took a bus directly to Mulian Cape. Mulian's bento is very popular, but when Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived, they were out of stock. The enthusiastic proprietress apologized to Yunluo and An Chuyu with a look of regret.
I also told Yunluo and An Chuyu to go to Muroran Station. That's their main store, and they should have bento. Sure enough, Yunluo and An Chuyu bought the last bento in Muroran. The bento was delicious, but the bento at Asahikawa Station was even better~ Maybe there were fewer tourists so no one recommended it. It was windy that day.
Facing the howling sea breeze on the Chikumi Cape, I still felt a little terrified. The dark clouds were pressing down, and the wind and rain were threatening. I felt it most deeply on the coast. As for the photos, Yunluo and An Chuyu had to be messy in the wind~ The most unforgettable thing for Yunluo in Japan is the Noboribetsu hot springs! Along the way, there were flight delays, rain, sun exposure, and running.
A pool of warm water can do everything. Of course, the most popular thing for girls is the beauty bath. After soaking in the hot spring, the whole body is slippery for a few days. It really lasts for a few days. It's so good. I really want to move the whole hot spring back to China. Move it back to China. I recommend the sister inn of the First Dragon Main Hall. The buffet is also very good. Of course, the hot spring is the best.
It took nearly 4 hours of driving in Tokyo to see the moss phlox. The round trip of nearly 8 hours was really exhausting, but luckily we encountered good weather. It was worth the trip to see the top of Mount Fuji and the moss phlox blooming all over the mountain.
It took a long time to get to Tsukiji Market, and with Google's many wrong directions and various ways of getting lost, Yunluo and An Chuyu finally found food at 12 noon, and popular restaurants such as Sushi Dai were already crowded. We should have come earlier to line up~ We just ate at a random restaurant, which was also very good and fresh. We walked from Tsukiji Market to Ginza.
As Tokyo's cutting-edge commercial district, students only come to experience the atmosphere, and foodies only pay attention to Fujiya, where they pass by and buy a lot of candy. When they take a bite of fresh puffs, the fresh cream spurts out and it's so delicious! Speaking of puffs, Yunluo first clicks 32 likes. Japanese puffs are really delicious, and the dairy products in Hokkaido are delicious.
In addition to the delicious puffs from Rokkatei and Tokyo Fujiya mentioned above, you can actually go to any 7-1 to find Hokkaido puffs that taste just as good. So when I was in Japan, I had puffs for breakfast every day. I couldn't stop and I never got tired of eating them. Highly recommended as a die-hard otaku of the second dimension.
You can go anywhere in Tokyo, but you absolutely must go to Akihabara. This is really a paradise for otakus and otakus, with all kinds of figures, anime, CDs, Gundam, bookstores, video games, and a lot of kawaii maids. It is of course cheaper to buy prototypes and Gundam here than in China, but the boxes are huge and it takes courage to carry them around.
(Ohohoh, the latest Hatsune Miku, Yunluo's beautiful Ryougi Shiki and Shinobu!) I feel like I'd be so happy just by strolling around without buying anything here. But my friend couldn't understand the beauty of the second dimension of Fukui Izumi, so we were dragged to visit Tokyo Tower at night. On the way back to the subway from Tokyo Tower, there was an izakaya called Akita-ya that was full of people.
The beer is excellent, clear and not bitter, the roast pork is also excellent, fresh and juicy, and the people are also excellent, the enthusiastic store manager uncle, the chatty sister holding a beer, helped Yunluo and An Chuyu find a seat and introduced the food. The Japanese izakaya culture of "drinking a cup before leaving" after work adds a bit of boldness and timidity to the cautious and delicate Japanese civilization.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It was a pity that I didn't go to the Ghibli Museum. I went shopping in Shinjuku in the morning! There is a big Forever21 in Shinjuku, which has about five floors and you can't stop buying clothes. Yunluo likes the style of F21. Forever21 is not like Zara and H&M, which are everywhere on the street, so there is no need to go abroad to buy them.
It seems that there is no F21 in other places, and it is very cheap to buy F21 in Japan, so Yunluo and An Chuyu happily visited every floor. Then they bought a lot of things at once. In addition, there are many shops to visit in Shinjuku. In the afternoon, Yunluo and An Chuyu took the legendary Shinkansen and went straight to the ancient capital of Japan - Kyoto. It is worth mentioning that there are relatively few people in Hokkaido.
Yunluo and An Chuyu took the pass and sat in the free seats directly without reservation. However, if you are traveling between Kansai and Kanto, you still need to make a reservation in advance because there are so many people. If you don't make a reservation, you may not be able to get a seat. After a 3-hour ride, Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived at Kyoto Station. Today is the last day to use the pass.
After getting off the bus, Yunluo and Anchuyu looked for the tourist service center in the huge Kyoto Station, searched for a bunch of beautiful tourist brochures and maps, and bought a Tokyo bus one-day pass. Kyoto's transportation was all left to the Kyoto bus that goes everywhere. Then, after leaving Kyoto Station, they bought a 3-day KTP at the bus ticket office.
After getting the transportation tickets for the Kansai area, Yunluo and An Chuyu can have fun without worry. When they returned to the hotel, the sky was so dark that only a last touch of deep blue remained. Yunluo and An Chuyu only booked the hotel half a month in advance, which was quite late. The popular hotels in Kyoto were almost all booked out, so they could only pan for gold in the sea. Fortunately, they found a very good Japanese-style hotel.
The boss lady speaks fluent English, the environment is very clean, and it is located in a residential area of Kyoto. You can experience the authentic life of Kyoto. It is impossible to go to the scenic spots in the evening. After putting down the luggage, Yunluo and An Chuyu went straight to Shijo Kawaramachi to find delicious food, and of course, continue shopping - drugstore cosmetics. When doing homework, you can find a lot of shopping guides by browsing the forums carefully.
Poor friends have sharp eyes. As expected, most of the cosmetics in Kyoto are cheaper than those in Osaka and Tokyo, and Sekkisei is much cheaper than in mainland China. Although Yunluo is not used to Japanese cosmetics with strong alcohol smell.
The Golden Pavilion is famous, so there are naturally many tourists who come to see it, so senior poor friends all recommend going early in the morning or in the evening, so Yunluo and An Chuyu went to the Golden Pavilion early in the morning. Maybe it was Saturday, the tourists in the early morning actually filled the whole garden~ Foreign tourists, Chinese aunt tour groups and Japanese elementary school students surrounded the entire Golden Pavilion.
It took a long time to find a place without passers-by to take a photo. It can only be said that Yunluo and An Chuyu did not meet early enough. At noon, Yunluo and An Chuyu's second stop was Nijo Castle, which vividly depicts the ups and downs of the Tokugawa family. The corridor in Nijo Castle is called "Oriole Floor", and when people walk on it, it will make a sound like the singing of an oriole.
It was an alarm device set up by the shogunate to protect their own safety. Every year when the plum and cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the beauty of the spring scenery here will leave you speechless. However, there was not a single tree in the garden during the Edo period: the shogun did not want to see fallen leaves, as the falling dead leaves would remind people of death. The compromise of the Toyotomi family.
The Emperor's visit actually demonstrated the Tokugawa family's unrivaled prosperity, while the return of power a hundred years later depicted the rise and fall of the Tokugawa shogunate. Forced by the invasion of foreign powers and the domestic struggle to respect the emperor and expel the barbarians, the Tokugawa shogunate was forced to return power to the Meiji Emperor due to internal and external troubles. A wise man knows how to handle the times, even though he is under pressure from both inside and outside.
Although it was a last resort, it was thanks to the Tokugawa family's world-renowned restoration of power that the Meiji Restoration, and later, the prosperous Japan today, came about. Kyoto Station is the transportation hub of the entire Kyoto, so if you don't know how to get to the next attraction, it's always a good idea to go back to Kyoto Station. Fushimi Inari Taisha is located at the southern end of Kyoto.
It took more than half an hour to get there by bus. The Japanese have long believed that foxes are messengers between humans and gods, and can bless good harvests and good weather, so many fox statues can be seen within the shrine. Torii is a Japanese shrine building. In the second dimension, it is a kind of barrier.
It also represents the "gate" of the divine realm. There are tens of thousands of torii gates here, and it takes more than two hours to walk the entire route. I have to say that Japan is also a very romantic country. The romance of Paris lies in "love", while the romance of Japan lies in the colorful dating sanctuary. In Hokkaido, where the snow is falling for thousands of miles, you can have a snowball fight on the endless snow. (~^~)
