I remember that I first came into contact with Japan in 2010. Unfortunately, I was still young and didn’t know the world (?), I just took a quick look and forgot most of it when I came back. Last year, I took advantage of the National Day holiday to visit Guanxi again. I didn’t want to come back and thought about the food, beautiful scenery, and beauty... so this time I thought about leaving for another trip during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. I was particularly afraid of crowds and didn’t like to queue up (actually lazy), so I chose this route that can be said to be unique. Because I was traveling with my family, I arranged it relatively free and didn’t rush to go, so I basically just walk around and stop.

Actually, I have been to quite a few places before. I always want to record something, but I still find it difficult to calm down and complete a travel notation. Let’s start with this, hoping that I can persevere. Time is limited and cannot be covered in everything, I hope it can help everyone.

Looking at Japan from another perspective, there will definitely be new discoveries.

first put a few pictures, they were all taken by mobile phones, and the technology was not good, don't mind~

Prepare

Main reference

, Qiongyou.com: Needless to say, you must read the travel notes of various masters before traveling.

. Spicy boy: http://nicklee.tw/index.php. It has written in detail about attractions, transportation, coupons and food in various parts of Japan. It is worth studying it carefully.

, Lonely planet Japan: I basically buy a book by Lonely planet anywhere, but I personally think that the reference value of Japanese writing is not very high, so I can read it casually.

, Kyoto Osaka Kobe Strategy Completely Dominating (5th Edition): I still prefer the paper version of the information and feel safe. I bought it before going to Kansai last year, and this time it is also used as a reference.

APP

. Google Maps: It's quite accurate, and it saves a lot of troubles.

. Inside the transfer case: a very practical APP. Click the "Road Map" to select the starting point and the end point without entering it yourself. This is very convenient. Forced push!

, Timi Accounting: a very convenient accounting software.

. Minimalist exchange rate: a software for calculating exchange rate, which is convenient and easy to use.

5. Air Travel: You can check flights, registration ports, and take-off and landing time.

visa

can now be used by all travel agencies and Taobao. For convenience, we can provide information as required.

air tickets

We basically leave at will, so we only booked our air tickets one month in advance and booked the Juneyao Airlines. We recommend that you book tickets early after you set your itinerary.

Accommodation

Booking and Ctrip can be used to compare the prices of the two, and sometimes there are still a slight difference. The requirements for accommodation in

vary from person to person. Some people like luxury and some people like simple ones, so I won’t go into details here. I will only mention a few points:

. In the peak season, you should book as soon as possible. Even if you are late, you may not be able to have a room available.

. Some of the beds in the hotel are tatami and some are ordinary beds. It’s quite fun to experience tatami, but it’s not recommended to travel with your parents. It’s not convenient to bend over when you’re old.

. The hotel breakfast has some different styles (Japanese) and Western styles. You can try it in Japanese style. Generally, there are fewer varieties and you may not necessarily like it.

. Some hotels have public bathrooms, while others have independent bathrooms. You must see clearly when booking.

Transportation

Most of my time was spent studying transportation before going to Japan last year. The variety of transportation systems and various discount tickets in Neon Country really bothered me.In general, discounted tickets should be based on your own needs, and never bother yourself by using them. If you have time, you can calculate the cost of your trip and compare it with the value of the discount ticket to see if it is worth it. Transportation strategies from various places have been written in very detailed details in the blog of the stingy boy.

Below are several types of tickets I might use before traveling:

1, ICOCA

are transportation cards, which only have value storage function and no discounts.

Applicable objects: People who can use public transportation multiple times (basically everyone), avoid preparing a lot of change every time, and counting (it's very lazy to me)

2, ICOCA HARUKA

ICOCA card (including 1500 deposit available + 500 deposit, which can be returned when refunding the card) + one-way or round-trip express trains from Kansai Airport to Osaka and Kyoto Regions (Haruka).

When you get on the bus:

Take the same system bus and get on the bus directly (no card reader)

take the bus with the sorting system , Get on the bus and insert the card (with a card reading machine, don’t need to draw a coupon) When you get off the bus:

uniform system bus. For the first time, please insert the card. For the second time, just use it. For the driver, please check it. Buses with

sorting system, insert the card no matter how many times. How to judge the Kyoto bus system:

WIFI

I rented Tuge Wifi. I have rented this store in other countries before. With mobile WIFI, you don’t need to buy a phone card. I just remind some machines that the standby time is short and you need to prepare a mobile power supply, but this one is still quite long.

pick-up at the airport, but sometimes there are too many people and need to queue up. 500 yuan of rent can be refunded when returning the machine. 10 yuan per day, you can connect to five machines in total.
