First, I will give you a song that will accompany my journey. On March 26, my wife and I just finished our wedding and planned to go abroad for a honeymoon before the wedding. After weighing Europe, islands, and neighboring countries, we chose to go to Japan, the island country. To be honest, we think that Europe should be the best, but the cost is relatively expensive. In our opinion, the seasides around the world are quite different, and we have plans to go to Sanya with friends in July and August, so we finally chose Japan. Of course, we also considered joining a group, but we were never restricted and we didn’t want the trip to go out for leisure and vacation to be very hasty by the travel agency, so we finally chose to travel freely. To be honest, I was really nervous before leaving. After all, I went abroad for the first time and rushed to Asia, worried about language barriers, not understanding, getting lost, etc., etc. XD. But after I arrived in Japan, I found that my worries were redundant. Here I would like to give you a reassurance. Traveling abroad is actually not that complicated. Below I will tell you in detail about my entire itinerary and recommended delicacies.
We set off from Shanghai and flew to and from Osaka, including accommodation, transportation, and eating and shopping. We spent a total of about 8,000 yuan.
About passport, visa
Passport, it is equivalent to an ID card abroad, and domestic ID cards are useless abroad. You need a passport when you go to the airport to check in and change your boarding pass. The passport processing cycle is about 10 to 20 days. I have forgotten how long it takes. So if you are planning to go abroad and have not applied for a passport, we will apply for both Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan passes when applying for a passport. As for travel, we will set a destination for ourselves.
visa. Many people are worried that the visa is difficult to apply before traveling, and whether they will encounter problems such as fake visas or random asking prices. In fact, visas can be obtained in many places, such as Mafengwo, Taobao, Fliggy, Yilong, etc. However, the prices vary, and the visa time can be obtained. It is still recommended to apply one month before travel.
Below I list what I need when applying for a visa:
Half a year of bank statements
10W yuan deposit certificate (no need to be frozen)
here to explain it specifically, save 10W, and get the transaction (guaranteed to have 10W on it), and then you can withdraw the 10W yuan.
proof of work. There are templates on Baidu. The next template is enough to get the work unit stamp.
photocopy of business license. Public institutions do not need it.
ID card copy
real estate certificate (if not, the cover and signature part of the purchase contract are also OK)
driving certificate
4.5*4.5 white background photo two
finally your passport
0 The cost of the visa is 400 yuan per person (I don’t know if the price will increase when you apply for this), and the time to apply is 7 to 10 days.
About air tickets, tolls and accommodations
Above, we booked air tickets in advance so it was surprisingly cheap. My wife and I took Juneyao Airlines, from Shanghai Pudong Airport to Osaka Kansai Airport, the round trip fee for two people was about 3,300 yuan, and the entire flight time was about one and a half hours to two hours. Japan time is +9, remember to adjust the time.
Due to the poor plan of the entire itinerary, we need to go from Osaka to Tokyo on the first day, and return from Tokyo to Osaka on the last day. So we bought JRpass in China, and sold on Taobao or Mafengwo.
JRpass is a Japanese railway transportation pass, with 7 to 14 days passes, and purchase the required itinerary according to your travel time. Among them, Shinkansen and many major routes in the city can also be used, so it is recommended that you purchase it. A person costs about 1,600 yuan. After purchasing, you will send you a paper ticket. After arriving in Japan, you need to exchange tickets at the window before you can use it. There is no need to purchase tickets separately, you just need to go through the manual passage and show it to the staff.
The transportation fee in Japan is relatively expensive. The taxi is about 20 to 30 RMB per kilometer, so we used our legs to the maximum extent, as well as the subway and JR.
In terms of accommodation, judging from Elong and other travel tools, the price of three-star hotels is around RMB 1,400 per night, which is relatively expensive, so we booked B&B on Airbnb. Actually, it's pretty good to live in, and it's quite convenient. It is recommended to book a place with convenient transportation. Whether it is around the attractions is not important, because Japan's transportation is very developed and almost all places can be reached by rail transit. If you have purchased JRpass, it is recommended that you set it near the JR site.
is also recommended to order in advance.
here is a special reminder that you must set up a separate room, an independent bathroom. The first time we booked a Tokyo B&B wrote about a separate room, but when we arrived, we found that there was no independent room similar to a youth hostel, which was very inconvenient. Fortunately, I booked an apartment-style separate room in Osaka.
The rooms in Japan are very small, but they are all very clean.
The first night: Tokyo
The place we lived in Tokyo was around 10 o'clock that night. I was tired and hungry. Coincidentally, we found that there was a izakaya next to our residence, so we packed our luggage and changed into comfortable clothes and ran to eat ~
is the same as the izakaya you saw in movies or TV series. It is small, but very lively. To be honest, the people here are very friendly, not as they say online that they hate the Chinese people, or they are obsessed with all the various things in the Sino-Japanese War. They enthusiastically recommend food to you, chat with you, hand cigarettes to each other, and toast to you.
What I regret is that I didn’t bring more packs of domestic cigarettes. . .
menu is all in Japanese, the kitchen is fully open, it is very clean and reassuring. The ingredients here are really fresh, and the traditional Japanese recipe is still somewhat different from the domestic taste.
What impressed me the most here is the salmon salad. In addition to sashimi and sushi, cool salmon is also a good choice.

Let me have a picture of my wife's mystery after eating:D
The streets in Japan are very clean, with four types of garbage. No one litters anywhere, including cigarette butts.
Day 1: Kabukicho , Ueno Park , Sensoji , Tokyo Sky Tree, Harajuku
Due to limited time, we have to go to Tokyo Disney the next day, so we went to more places on the first day.
I heard that Kabukicho was very messy at night, so I chose to go shopping in the morning.
In Japan, we use Dianping, but we can only judge whether it tastes delicious or not.
First went to Noodle Musashi to eat famous Japanese noodles.
This store pays for the order first and then finds a seat. Basically, it's like you see, a row of people are eating around the kitchen, and there is a row of people standing and waiting for a seat behind this row.
is the noodles that are eaten, as the name suggests. The store first cooks the noodles and uses cold water to make the noodles more vigorous. Then put a bowl of prepared soup next to it. The soup has a strong seafood flavor and is particularly salty. Never dip them all. It is recommended to dip them half and eat half. The shop has scarves, tissues and ice water. If you think they are salty, drink more water. Some Japanese people also want a portion of rice to accompany them after eating. I also take it.
号 Musashi, per capita consumption of RMB 70 per person.
After eating, I took a look around the nearby Kabukicho, which is one of the entertainment centers in Tokyo. Cinemas, video games and dance halls, bars, etc. From late at night to dawn, there are endless crowds, making it a standard city that never sleeps. Kabukicho is located in the heart of the bustling Shinjuku district in Tokyo. It is divided into one-chome and two-chome, namely one and two-chome.It is close to Shinjuku Station, a transportation hub. It is a joyful street with concentrated restaurants, entertainment facilities and cinemas. It is known as the largest red light district in Asia - Kabukicho, Tokyo.
PS: The familiar name of the two-chome, Gay Takuya, is here. XD
As for the information-free case next to it, it is the place where XXOO is introduced for free. Be cautious!
To be honest, Japanese naivety is good, look, that big lump of marshmallow. .
After visiting Kabukicho, we returned to Shinjuku Station to take JR to Ueno Park.
This is a residence near Ueno Park. It is very Japanese and has a very touching feeling. My wife and I sighed after seeing this, if it were such a B&B, wouldn’t it be a pleasure? . .
Ueno Gift Park is a famous cherry blossom viewing site in Tokyo. It is next to the Tokyo Museum and Tokyo Aquarium (it seems to be true, I forgot), and the Tokyo Ueno Zoo. Our national treasure giant panda is inside. Of course, I found this picture online. When we went there, the cherry blossoms were almost in full bloom.
In Ueno Park, it means to visit the park, see the temple, feed the pigeons, visit the park, see the temple, visit the park, and see the temple. . .
This picture also makes the wife's legs look very thin, I said. . . But I really feel that there are scenery everywhere in Japan and it is suitable for taking photos everywhere.
After visiting Ueno Park, we walked to the commercial area and ate the most famous Japanese - Ilan Ramen
Unlike other ramen shops, Ilan Ramen is more like a place for single dogs to eat. Also, you should buy a ticket first when entering the door, and then sit in the small compartment.
Everyone has a relatively independent dining environment. If it is two people, the small partition in the middle can also be put away. The waiter will give you a paper menu to ask you about your needs, of course there is one in Chinese on it. Salt, please remind me. I just came up with the ramen as shown in the picture above. If you need black fungus silk, bean sprouts and seaweed, you need to pay extra, including soft-boiled eggs. The picture below is what I set myself after I ordered another noodle, with a ramen noodles, no soup.
1 lamb ramen: The average per capita is about 100 yuan. Can you avoid eating the face of Japanese ramen industry? . .
As I was writing, I wanted to eat ramen and miss the dolphin house. . .
eat and drink enough, continue the itinerary of the next stop. In order to digest, we walked to the Asakusa temple. . . It's so fucking far away. . .
Senaso Temple, Asakusa is the birthplace of Tokyo. Sensoji Temple is the oldest temple in Tokyo. Also known as Asakusa Leimen Guanyin Temple, the temple is officially named Senso Temple in Jinlongshan. In the center of the door, there is a huge lantern hanging down, with the word "Thunder Gate" written on it, which has become a symbol of Asakusa.
took a casual shot. . .
After visiting Sensoji Temple, walk to the riverside, and overlooking Tokyo Sky Town. .
and then take a bus to Harajuku
Harajuku's alley. To be honest, it looks a bit like Taikoo Ri. But it feels more like Taikoo Li.
Going to Harajuku is just shopping.
Harajuku worth buying: Superme, Ape, Kawakubo Rei , they are all very cheap.
There is also a Conan themed cafe. If you have time, you can sit down and rest. Close at 8 o'clock.
ate the internet celebrity lobster sandwich, and ended the first day's itinerary after luke's lobster. . .
Of course, I went back to that izakaya and drank two more glasses.
Day 2: Tokyo Disney
Tokyo Disneyland, divided into two parks, one is Disney Ocean and the other is Disney. Since I don’t like the exciting entertainment program that compares prices, my wife had to accompany me to Disneyland with grievances. So I will only write about ordinary Disneyland here.
is also a universal JR line. From Shinjuku to Tokyo Disneyland . The park will open at 9 a.m., so it is recommended to go in advance and not to go out for fun on holidays or weekends. Similarly, people mountain people sea.Please buy tickets at Fliggy, and don’t buy them at Dianping. Comments are expensive.
If you buy tickets online, there is a place to print tickets on the left outside the gate. Of course, you can take a screenshot of the QR code on your mobile phone and scan the phone. There are places in the park where you can buy headdresses and pendants, and there is also a Disney store at the door where you can bring some small gifts back when you are about to leave. It is not recommended to buy it when you enter the door, it is so tiring to bring it.
is the same as in Shanghai’s Disney gameplay, get FP first.
FASTPASS - Fast Pass is a humanized service that shortens the queue time by Tokyo Disneyland in order to allow more tourists to experience the fun of dreams and magic kingdoms. Whether it is holidays or usual, the tourists at Disneyland are crowded. Some projects often have to wait for two hours. The precious time passes like this, which will inevitably affect the happy mood and the experience of the home. Therefore, FASTPASS is adopted on some exciting projects.
FASTPASS projects can be used: Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Winnie the Pooh's Honey, Space Mountain, Miniature World Expedition, Interstellar Adventures of Buss Light Years, Ghost Mansion;
Specific process:
1. There is a FASTPASS automatic issuing machine near the entrance of the above project, and its screen will show the time period that can be booked. If you think it is appropriate, insert the side of the park ticket with a barcode into the issuing machine;
2. The issuing opportunity will automatically send out a FASTPASS, and the coupon is printed with the time period for direct entry by appointment;
3. First go to other attractions, and then return to the entrance during the indicated time period;
4. After you come back, you can see two channels at the entrance, Standby and Fastpass. The former is the normal queue route. You can just take the Fastpass channel at this time, and there is no need to queue up. If there is a service staff to arrange your ride as soon as possible.
Notes:
1. Only one FASTPASS can be booked at a time for one ticket, and it cannot be reused within two hours. For example, if you make an appointment at 9:00 am to Splash Mountain from 2:00 to 2:30 pm, then you can only make an appointment for the next project after 11:00;
2. Most projects end their appointment at noon, but there are exceptions, so I easily gave up. Later I found that there are still three projects in Tomorrowland to provide services;
3. The inspection is strict when entering the venue, so be sure to keep it well;
4. Even if you hold FASTPASS on major festivals, it is inevitable to queue up, but the time is very short, usually not more than 20 minutes.
Because I went there early, except for Winnie the Pooh's who was not open for maintenance, I have played everything else. There is not a queue for too long. If you want to play in the Splash Mountain, that is, to make a brave move forward, it is recommended to bring a raincoat just in case.
Disney has garden activities at 11:00 am and afternoon, so don't worry about missing it.
Personal feelings:
Disney is really a particularly warm place. In it, everyone will wave to you with laughter. Regardless of whether you respond or not, gradually, you will be infected by this happy mood, smile with the people around you, and wave to the people next to you, everything is so natural. That kind of joy comes from the heart. I have never been to Disney in Shanghai. I don’t know if Shanghai Disney is as friendly as Japan and so happy.
Disney recommended food: turkey legs, Mickey set meal, Mickey ice cream
Remember to find the staff to ask for a Chinese map, follow the map and take photos!
ended the day's Disney itinerary and returned to Shinjuku by JR in the evening.
Jiwan Aquatic Products
Jiwan Aquatic Products has its own farm, all the seafood is very fresh and fresh when served. There are cassettes on the table and you need to bake them yourself. Recommended roasted puffer fish and salt-baked shrimp. Since there was a second meal, I ate less food to cushion my stomach and changed to another store: Santian Noodle Factory.
went back to sleep after eating, and took the Shinkansen to Osaka the next day.
from Osaka, let’s write it next issue. .
