Due to the unfamiliar place and the language barrier, in order to avoid living on the streets of Japan, I made a detailed travel route and planned the route carefully before going to various places (the actual trip in the end was far from the final plan …), which helped me a lot. In addition, during my one and a half months in Japan, I really felt the enthusiasm of the Japanese and decided to carry forward this spirit of helping others after returning to Shanghai. So I have always been lazy, and wrote some short TIPS to my classmates who are going to Japan for self-help tour! (Of course, it's limited to sightseeing.) However, because I was really lazy, I wrote this little thing for more than a month ... Fortunately, I finally finished it ~

PART 1: Transportation and Accommodation

1. I must have a JR PASS (japan rail pass). With it, basically all JR-starting things in Japan can be taken. It's really cost-effective.

First of all, all shinkansen belong to JR, and JR PASS can take all shinkansen except NOSOMI.

the shinkansen is divided into three numbers: NOSOMI, HIGALI and KODAMA. NOSOMI only stops in megacities, HIGALI is more than NOSOMI, and KODAMA stops at all stations.

Secondly, most tourist attractions can be reached by Shinkansen +JR Line+Walking, but some can only take the local subway or tram. Others can be reached by both. Sometimes

, the local tram is closer to the scenic spot than the JR line, but JR doesn't have to pay any more, so it is necessary to check the route in advance, depending on the time and budget.

2. Because I have never stayed in a hotel during my stay in Japan, I have no right to speak ~ ~ I want to remind you that hotels in Japan calculate money according to the head count. For example, one person living in a room is 5, yuan

, and those two people living in a room may be 9, yuan, which is a little discount, but it does not mean that 5, yuan can be divided equally. This must be considered well when making a budget.

PART 2: TIP

almost all stations in Japan have many brochures such as tourist maps and introductions, which can be obtained free of charge, and some even have Chinese versions.

A. Kyoto

Kyoto * * * has 17 world cultural heritages: Kiyomizu Temple, Nijo Castle, Kinkaku Temple, Silver Pagoda, Tianlong Temple, Long 'an Temple, Yanli Temple, Kozanji Temple, Ninna-ji Temple, Saihoji Temple, Dongsi Temple, Daigoji Temple,

West Honganji, Shanghemao Shrine, Xiaya Shrine, Uchiyama Shrine and Equality. If you don't want to do in-depth research on everyone, and just want to pick a few representatives for a cursory tour, it will take 1-2 days.

1. Kiyomizu Temple, Nijo Castle and Kinkaku Temple are really worthwhile places to go, and you will hear a lot of friendly Chinese Shanghainese there ~

2. If you reserve two days in Kyoto, you can put Kiyomizu Temple in the early morning of the next day. Kiyomizu Temple will open at 6 o'clock and go there early in the morning.

3. Silver Pagoda is being repaired, and nothing can be seen after the whole package is wrapped up, but the tickets will continue until 29, so I suggest not to go ...

4. I highly recommend Myoshinji Temple. Myoshinji Temple is actually the floorboard of a group of temples. You don't need tickets. After you enter, there are temples all the way. Perhaps because it is not a world cultural heritage, there are basically no tourists. It is very quiet. Just find a temple to sit in for a while, only to hear running water and crows (there are a lot of mosquitoes in summer, and I was bitten by 22 mosquito blocks ...). The temples are a little similar, and here

they are not lost to those cultural heritages who want tickets.

5. Nijo Castle wants to enter through the main entrance of Dongda University, and all other doors are closed. The door near the second JR station wouldn't open, so I was fooled. I walked around the city before I went in ...

6. I went in to Long 'an Temple just to see a few stones. I didn't have enough realm and didn't see any tricks. There were many people.

7. The sightseeing train in sagano is worth a ride. The scenery is good. In summer, the train runs in the mountains and the cool wind blows gently.

8. Buses, the scenic spots in Beijing, are basically accessible. Therefore, it is recommended to buy a one-day BUS ticket for 5 yuan, and if you don't buy a one-day ticket, 22 yuan will take a BUS. One-day tickets can be purchased directly

on BUS.

B. Nara

Nara, like Kyoto, is an ancient capital and a temple. It feels similar to Kyoto, so there is a "magic deer", with fewer and scattered scenic spots, and it is far from the JR line (JR Nara Station takes more than 15 minutes to walk to Nara Park

). If time is tight, you don't have to go. If you have more time, you can take a short half-day trip to Nara Park and nearby scenic spots.

C. osaka

except osaka park (castles in various places, Nagoya city, osaka city and Hiroshima city), they all look almost the same ... just go to one). Universal Studios is not as famous as Disney, but it's actually very fun.

D. Hiroshima

1. There are museums and monuments related to the original explosion near the site, and there are also some activities that ask the government to sign compensation or ask you to donate money for the victims. If you don't want to donate money,

you'd better shake your hand and walk away quickly. They have information in various languages for you to see, pretending that it's not feasible to donate money ~

E. Kobe <

1. The night view of Mount Moye, Mount Liujia, Youma Hot Springs and the harbor are all very charming. (Please go to my photo album to see the map ~)

2. Personally, Kitano Alien Pavilion is of little significance if it is a self-help tour. If you don't understand the explanation, you just have to look at the original place where foreigners live. The ticket price is relatively high and there are many kinds, and the Shinkansen

has to go a long way (and it is all mountain roads ~ ~ and some places are even more steep), but I also attach the map for your reference.

3. You can buy a ticket directly to Youma Hot Spring at Shinkansen Station, and you have to change trains several times, but you don't need to buy a ticket.

4. There is a place where you can soak your feet with free hot spring water next to the "Golden Soup".

5. There are many springs that you can choose to visit. They are all very close, and you can just stroll around the small streets. The small streets with horses are also very Japanese. I went to the fountain of the gods, and there was no one there. I lay on the bench and looked at the sky, listening to the gurgling sound of the fountain. I felt that the whole world was quiet as if I was the only one, and I couldn't wait to stay here all day.

PART 3: Diet

There are many delicious foods in Japan, so we won't introduce them if we have different preferences. But as a student, if you want to save money, things in convenience stores are basically the cheapest, or the price of

packages like Yoshinoya is similar to that in China.

PART 4: gifts

things in tourist attractions are generally more expensive than those in airports, so it is recommended to buy them at airports. Some cakes in Sensoji Temple, Tokyo are quite bad and expensive. I advise you to buy some delicious and beautiful sugar in the supermarket.
