It's just this small. Street view downstairs of Comfort Hotel Osaka Shinsaibashi These cute dolls are in the window of the subway station. There are not many people coming out of the subway station in Osaka in the morning. The exit of Osaka Castle Park subway station is right at the entrance of Osaka Castle Park. This is a small recreational facility for citizens on the edge of the park.

Osaka Castle Park I saw many people running and exercising in Osaka Castle Park. Osaka Castle Park Sparrows and pigeons live peacefully in the square. Osaka Castle Park Osaka Castle Park I mentioned before that there are really a lot of crows in Japan. They can be seen everywhere in Osaka Castle Park. They are not afraid of people at all. Osaka Castle Park The ruins of Osaka Castle Tower are approaching.

Osaka Castle Park Editor Osaka Castle Park Castle Tower Entering the castle tower ruins area, this big stone is the real ruins left over from the past. To the northwest of Osaka Castle Park Castle Tower is the Osaka City Museum. There are many signs at the entrance of Osaka Castle Park Castle Tower introducing the changes of Osaka Castle in various eras. This is Osaka Castle during the Toyotomi Hideyoshi period.

Osaka Castle Park Castle Tower Osaka Castle Park Castle Tower This castle tower is completely newly built. There is a museum inside, a completely modern building, and you can take the elevator up. It is not an ancient building of the year. ps: Osaka Castle, located in Osaka Castle Park in Chuo District, Osaka City, Japan (formerly Higashinari County, Settsu Province), is one of the famous attractions in Osaka, along with Nagoya Castle.

Kumamoto Castle is one of the three great castles in Japanese history, also known as the "Golden Castle" or "Brocade Castle". It was the residence of Toyotomi Hideyoshi during the Momoyama period. Later, Tokugawa Ieyasu destroyed the Toyotomi family in two battles of Osaka (Winter Campaign and Summer Campaign). Since then, Osaka Castle has become an important base for the Tokugawa shogunate to control the daimyo of western Japan.

Osaka Castle Park Castle Tower displays a model of the war scene of the Japanese Warring States Period.

The story of how Osaka Castle was built. It is still very interesting to watch slowly. Osaka Castle Park Castle Tower Overlooking Osaka City from the top of the castle tower. Osaka Castle Park Castle Tower Osaka Castle Park This symbol of Osaka Castle is very distinctive. Osaka Castle Park Osaka Castle Park After leaving Osaka Castle Park, Yunluo and Anchu met by taking the subway to Umeda Umeda Station is at this Yodobashi in Umeda.

Yunluo and An Chuyu finished shopping for rice cookers and kettles. It was already noon when they finished buying appliances at Umeda Station, so Yunluo and An Chuyu had lunch at a barbecue set meal restaurant called "Dashan" on the first floor of the shopping mall. JR Umeda Station JR Umeda Station After lunch, Yunluo and An Chuyu took the subway back to the hotel to put away the rice cooker. Then they took a nap.

This is the comfort of independent travel. Osaka Port After resting enough in the hotel, everyone took the subway to Osaka Port and prepared to go to Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan. Tempozan Ferris Wheel I wanted to ride the Tempozan Ferris Wheel because the pass is free. But my friends said it was too high and they dared not ride it. Yunluo and An Chuyu could only go straight to the Aquarium Kaiyukan.

Osaka Aquarium KAIYUKAN There are street performers performing at the entrance of Osaka Aquarium KAIYUKAN, and the torches are flying. Osaka Aquarium KAIYUKAN Osaka Port Osaka Aquarium KAIYUKAN There are many stamps in the KAIYUKAN. You can bring a book to collect stamps, which is very interesting. Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't bring any. They can only pay for the tickets.

What is Osaka Aquarium looking for? Osaka Aquarium always feels like this dolphin is still a little sleepy. What is Osaka Aquarium looking for? There are many kinds of sharks in Osaka Aquarium. The starfish in Osaka Aquarium is bigger than Yunluo imagined. The jellyfish area in Osaka Aquarium is Yunluo's personal favorite.

The lights are on and it feels very dreamy. Osaka Aquarium KAIYUKAN Osaka Aquarium KAIYUKAN After leaving the KAIYUKAN, Yunluo and Anchuyu went straight to Dotonbori near the hotel to have dinner. Dotonbori Food Street Dotonbori Food Street Dotonbori Food Street The decorations of many restaurants in Japan are so exaggerated and unique, Yunluo and Anchuyu China can actually learn from them.

But the cost is estimated to be much higher. Dotonbori Food Street Tonbori Food Street I plan to eat ramen for dinner tonight. However, there are too many people lining up at Ichiran Ramen, and I don’t want to wait. So I ate at Kamuzou Ramen. The taste is not bad. By the way, they also order by themselves on the machine.

Dotonbori Food Street The Dotonbori River is brightly lit at night, and there are sightseeing boats that can be taken for free. However, there are many people queuing. Yunluo and An Chuyu continued to patronize the drugstore they visited yesterday, and made some purchases before returning to the hotel to rest.

Kansai International Airport Today is our last day in Japan. I felt a little reluctant when I woke up. Happy times always pass by so quickly. Fortunately, Yunluo and An Chuyu's flight was in the afternoon, so they still had half a day to plan. Yunluo and An Chuyu were too lazy to take the subway anymore, so they continued to shop in Shinsaibashi Shopping Street in the morning.

Finish the last bit of shopping. Shinsaibashisuji Shopping Street Shinsaibashisuji Shopping Street Shinsaibashisuji Shopping Street Daimaru Department Store doesn't open until 9:30. Before that, Yunluo and An Chuyu went shopping in a few stores that opened earlier. Dotonbori Food Street Dotonbori entrance during the day Dotonbori Food Street Dotonbori River in the morning, not many people at this time.

At 12:30 pm at the Comfort Hotel Shinsaibashi, Osaka, the driver who sent them to the airport came downstairs on time to pick up Yunluo and An Chuyu. It was still a spacious Toyota Alpha. This time there were a lot more luggage. However, the driver said that Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't have much luggage for so many people. The day before yesterday, he sent a group of Chinese guests with four people and their luggage was much more than Yunluo and An Chuyu.

The trunk and the back seats were all filled up, and people squeezed into the front row of seats. I have to admire the purchasing power of the Chinese. Yunluo and An Chuyu are no match for them. It took more than half an hour to get from Kansai International Airport to Kansai International Airport. Let's take a look at the scenery of Osaka along the way. Yunluo and An Chuyu are about to embark on their return journey.

Kansai International Airport Kansai International Airport arrived at the airport gate and found that there were really not many people. It was far less than Pudong. There were so many people queuing up to check in at Kansai International Airport. They were all on the same flight as Yunluo and An Chuyu. After entering the restricted area at Kansai International Airport, it was time to make the final purchase.

This is the famous "White Lover" chocolate cookie. The taste is still very good. I also recommend the French fries produced in Hokkaido. The taste is super delicious. The store directly marked the purchase limit per person. Anyway, the shelf was originally full, but Yunluo and An Chuyu came back after a walk and found that it was empty.

Yunluo and An Chuyu regretted buying too little and only bought one box. See the picture below. Delicious French fries at Kansai International Airport. Kansai International Airport Kansai International Airport Some of the boarding terminals at Kansai Airport require this shuttle train to go to. Yunluo and An Chuyu's flight is. Waiting to board the plane at Kansai International Airport.

Kansai International Airport. Let's take another look at the exterior of the airport. The plane is in the air at Kansai International Airport. Let's take another look at the land of Japan. Goodbye, Neon Country. I guess Yunluo and Anchu will come again if they are destined to meet. Sihai City Pudong International Airport. The plane arrived at Sihai City Pudong. This photo was taken before landing. This weather. It's gloomy and gray.

The weather is really different from that in other countries. Sihai City Pudong International Airport Finally, let me show you the rice cooker that Yunluo and An Chuyu bought. Sihai City Pudong International Airport This is basically all the luggage, which is not much. This is part of the purchases (I have to state that many of them are for others.) The End.

Actually, I also want to go to Hokkaido. It's too far. I can only go there next time, which is a bit regretful. I used a mobile app to record my expenses almost every night and calculated a relatively accurate expenditure. Except for shopping, I personally think it's quite cheap (cool) per person. The cost of food is relatively cheap, because I don't want to eat too expensive food.

In addition, one or two meals were treated by my classmates in Japan. I would like to express my gratitude again. Here is the detailed itinerary and cost list for everyone to see: About visas. There are many travel notes about the matters of applying for Japanese visas. I believe everyone understands it. Yunluo will still elaborate on it a little. Yunluo found a reputable one on Taobao.

About air tickets and hotels: Since the travel decision was made relatively early, Yunluo was afraid that everyone would hesitate. He booked the air tickets early on impulse. However, he did not seem to have much experience in grabbing air tickets. He was too lazy to get up in the middle of the night to check the legendary special tickets, so he just observed on Qunar.com for two or three days and then made a move.

So it is not cheap, but I personally think it is not expensive either. The outbound flight is China Eastern Airlines MU, /person, and the return flight is Air China CA, /person (both include insurance) Hotel: Sihai City: As the outbound flight took off in the morning, Yunluo and An Chuyu checked into Sihai City near Pudong Airport one day in advance for safety reasons.

I took the hotel's free shuttle to the airport early in the morning. I also booked this hotel in advance on Qunar.com. Vienna Hotel is 10 kilometers away from the airport. It only takes more than ten minutes by car. The experience of staying here is better than that of a fast hotel, and the price-performance ratio is good.

Hotels in Tokyo Japan can be summed up in one word: small. They are incomparable to those in China (of course, the rich can stay in super luxurious hotels). The hotel that Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed in Tokyo was a chain hotel that Yunluo searched on the hotel channel of Mafengwo. They booked it through Youyu booking platform.

Hotel name Hotel My Stays Hamamatsucho (ホテルマイステイズ浜松町) Address: --Hamamatsu-cho, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan-The hotel is very close to the Toei Asakusa Line, Toei Oedo Line and JR Yamanote Line, making travel very convenient and the facilities inside are also complete.

The price is good value for money in the summer peak season. Except for the small size, everything is ok. Accommodation in Kyoto Yunluo and An Chuyu chose a homestay to experience the real Japanese residential life. Later, it turned out that the parents were very satisfied with the stay, and the owner of the homestay was also very enthusiastic. It was a pleasant experience. The homestay was booked through Airbnb.

There are many choices above. The one Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed at is called Goldfish House, which is located near Shijo Omiya, close to Kyoto Station Bus and Station Road. The bus stop at the door can directly reach most attractions, and the transportation is also very convenient. The hotel in Osaka is a chain hotel booked on e-Road Japan.

For details, please see: A/ The hotel is located in Shinsaibashi, a famous shopping street in Osaka. It is also very convenient to get there by subway. The price/performance ratio is good, but it is still one word: small. In short, how small are the hotels in Japan? You still have to experience it yourself to know about transportation.

First of all, I want to talk about the two chartered car services during Yunluo and Anchuyu's trip. Yunluo accidentally saw a company's special promotion for chartered cars on the travel channel of Taobao on the mobile client, and immediately took a photo. Pick up from Tokyo Narita Airport to the hotel, and Osaka hotel to Kansai Airport. The average price per person is actually cheaper than public transportation (cool).

Both trips were in Toyota Alpha business cars. It was spacious for one person plus three suitcases and several backpacks, and it saved the trouble of taking subways and buses. The cost-effectiveness and comfort were super good. I highly recommend it to friends who travel with multiple people. I would also like to praise the warm and thoughtful service of Mr. Huang who picked us up at the airport. (But this should be a special price for their promotion.

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

Normal prices are probably quite expensive.) Tokyo Transportation: Tokyo's public transportation is really developed. Yunluo and An Chuyu's trip in Tokyo was done by subway, and the transfer was very convenient. The subway map of Tokyo is indeed dazzling at first glance, but after a closer look, it is actually very clear. Yunluo and An Chuyu went from one place to in Tokyo.

Another place mainly relies on two things: one is the app on the phone. That is Google Maps and Ekisabato on Apple (you can refer to the specific apps needed for Japan travel. The second is to rely on your mouth. Yes, just ask for directions frequently. The advantage of Yunluo and An Chuyu is that An Chuyu can speak Japanese (grin), but Yunluo can also speak English.

If you really can't do it, use a small notebook to write traditional Chinese characters. Japanese people can probably understand it, mainly because they are very enthusiastic. For specific transportation costs, there are various passes and travel cards in Japan (suica, icoca, etc.). Yunluo will not list them one by one. Yunluo and An Chuyu relied on the Tokyo Metro One-Day Pass in Tokyo. Everyone remember this.

You must buy it at the airport, you must buy it at the airport, you must buy it at the airport. I say it three times because it costs Japanese yen per person to buy it at the airport, but it costs Japanese yen per person to buy it at the ticket machine in the city. Tokyo subway Kyoto transportation: Kyoto's subway is not as developed as Tokyo, with only two lines in total. The main means of transportation are buses and Hankyu Line.

Yunluo and Anchuyu spent two days in Kyoto with the "Kyoto Sightseeing 2-Day Pass", which is ¥/person (see the picture below, please ignore the barbecue advertisement.). This ticket can be used for buses and subways, and some attractions have discounts. If you only have one day to visit Kyoto, it is recommended to buy a one-day bus ticket, which is ¥/person.

This sightseeing ticket can be purchased at the tourist information center of Kyoto Station (pictures are included in the text below). Kyoto Kyoto Osaka Transportation: Osaka's subway is also very developed, basically meeting the needs of traveling from all over the place. Yunluo and An Chuyu bought the "Osaka Tour One-Day Ticket", which costs 10 yen per person. This ticket is considered a magical ticket. Public transportation

There are many places where you can get discounts for free sightseeing in the subway and various attractions. Where to buy the one-day ticket in Osaka: Osaka Tourist Information Center Namba (Nankai Building Comprehensive Information Center Namba / :-:) Osaka Tourist Information Center Umeda (JR Osaka Station Central Ticket Gate / :-:) Hankyu Tourist Service Center Osaka Umeda (:-:).

When you buy a pass, you will be given a card guide booklet. Don't throw it away as an advertisement. Please carry it with you. Because you need to tear off the coupons in it when using discounts at certain attractions. When Yunluo and An Chuyu went to Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, they could save yen by using the pass, but the ticket seller had to tear off the coupons in the guide booklet.

Fortunately, Yunluo and Anchuyu brought their own. Osaka Osaka Osaka About camera and luggage preparation Camera: Nikon D, one lens for all -.

Save some maps and guides on your tablet, so you can check the offline translation dictionary downloaded on your phone. You can also check Japanese food. Yunluo and An Chuyu are definitely used to it. No need to bring a lot of instant noodles. Japanese instant noodles are better than those in China. Going to Japan is inevitable to go shopping, and you have to bring a lot of things for others, so everyone must empty the suitcase.

Or bring a big suitcase. Yunluo and An Chuyu had little luggage when they went there, so they brought an empty trolley bag in the big suitcase. When they came back, they still felt it was not enough. About shopping. Shopping in Japan is the ultimate goal of many people. When others hear that you are going to Japan, they will immediately ask Yunluo to bring something.

Well, Yunluo and An Chuyu also have to complete a lot of tasks for others on this trip, plus the things they want to buy, Yunluo can only say, sorry, wallet, you have to lose a lot of weight again (so unlucky). In Japan, I think electronic products and drugstore cosmetics are the most popular shopping, and most people go shopping for these two types of things. (~^~)
