Map Route Overview of Central International Airport

The reason of Hamamatsu YAMAHA, the music city of Day1

Friends who love Japanese history will be familiar with the place name Hamamatsu. In history, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo shogunate, spent his youth in Hamamatsu City, the historic site of Hamamatsu City. Located between Kyoto and Tokyo, it is a famous music city in Japan and the base camp of YAMAHA.

As the second largest city in the "East China Sea" along the Pacific coast in the central part of Honshu Island, Japan, the city scale is second only to Nagoya City. SUZUKI, HONDA and YAMAHA, which are famous for producing motorcycles and musical instruments, all have factories in Hamamatsu.

For travelers who like to travel independently, it is necessary and worthwhile to spend some time buying connecting tickets at the airport of arrival. In Japan, it is not difficult for Chinese people to buy tickets by using automatic ticket vending machines. From the Central International Airport to Nagoya, the famous railway line is the main one. Click on the word "Nagoya" on the ticket vending machine to buy tickets, which is very simple. Transfer to JR Shinkansen at Nagoya Station, with clear signs, so that when you first land in Japan, you feel free to walk like a local.

After arriving at the hotel in Hamamatsu, Yuenai can't wait to start a fun-filled parent-child trip. The first stop came to Hamamatsu Musical Instrument Museum. Originally, I thought it was a unique musical instrument museum in Hamamatsu, but after visiting it, I found that it was originally a museum with many world musical instruments! From the most primitive to the most modern, from Japan to Africa, America, Europe and other musical instruments, it is very shocking.

The piano area here has attracted children's attention. Standing on a European antique piano from more than 111 years, people have a feeling of traveling through time and space. Countless rare antique pianos are gathered together, which is really spectacular!

The experience area in the museum also closely copied the sounds of antique pianos and recorded them in modern pianos, so that everyone can play and experience the performance freely. While watching, children can also experience various musical instruments in the experience area, including drum sets, pianos, electronic organs, etc. It is definitely a paradise for children who like music.

The Hamamatsu Science Museum "Mirai-ra" is the science museum that Yuenai finds the most abundant and interesting. There are areas for children, and there are also areas for children of small, middle and high ages. Everyone can learn knowledge through play and interaction!

this kind of exhibition hall is really a paradise for parents and children to travel, and it is very entertaining. You can learn knowledge while playing, killing two birds with one stone. The area in the exhibition hall allows children to learn the principles of animation, learn color matching, simulate various environmental sounds, and learn marine life and plants through games! There are also experiments on what items and magnetic fields can be blown by air and what items can be driven. It is really a brainstorming trip, which is great! Five star recommendation!

The day's fun and education time passed quickly. For dinner, we chose two special foods, one is eel rice, and the other is jiaozi. Yuenai has chosen a century-old shop located near the station, Babaide, which is very famous locally. This eel restaurant, established in 1919, must punch in first. You can smell delicious eel fragrance near Hamamatsu Station, which is the birthplace of eel culture.

the classic "eel tea soaked rice (eels eat three times)" must be arranged! It tastes delicious in one bite! The taste is very tender and melts in the mouth. The taste of fresh eel meat itself is very similar to that of sea urchin just fished out of the sea and eaten raw after being cut open. It is invincible and sweet! Eat the original flavor first, then add tea, and turn it into eel tea soaked rice, so that you have a second taste. Children also love to eat eel rice, direct CD!

Then, walk back to Shisong jiaozi in JR Hamamatsu Station, which is also a famous place in Hamamatsu City, jiaozi! Features are unique to the local area, with bean sprouts in the middle and a circle of jiaozi dishes around it, which is a local feature.

The taste of Lycopodium jiaozi is sweet, with crisp skin and refreshing interior, which is completely different from the ordinary jiaozi we used to eat in China and Tokyo. Very delicious and highly recognizable. You must taste this unique taste when you come here.

DAY2 released Hamamatsu Damei outdoor

Although the weather is not very beautiful, we still have to go on the trip we made before. In the drizzle, I feel the air is cleaner, as if I can smell the fragrance of plants. The baby still likes to play in this weather. Yuenai is wearing the most common transparent umbrella in Japan, which is really Japanese drama.

Hamamatsu Fruit Park is really suitable for parent-child trips. You can bring your children to play all day. There are orange picking and mushroom picking here. It is very interesting to let children know the growth process of crops during the picking process. And there are various large-scale fruit-themed playground facilities.

What impressed Yuenai the most is that you can ride parent-child bicycles together in the park, including two parent-child bicycles and three family bicycles. It is very convenient for a family to ride a car in the same direction, and it is very convenient to walk in the garden. In addition, the small train is also very interesting, and you can see the scenery around the park.

Here, Yuenai and her baby experienced picking oranges for the first time in their lives. Before picking, the guide will give you some picking tools, baskets and scissors, and will teach you how to cut oranges and put them in the basket. The most interesting thing is that the price here is calculated by weight, and you pay as much as you pick. There is a small pavilion next to it, where you can eat oranges, which is very comfortable and the baby is very happy.

Come to the BBQ area in the park at lunch time. There is a lot of space, a variety of packages, and the price is very affordable! Parent-child together, while baking and eating, fresh and delicious. The mushrooms that have just been picked in the mushroom room can be roasted and eaten here. The degree of softness and tenderness is better than any mushrooms that have been eaten before!

In the afternoon, come to Hamamatsu Festival Hall and experience drawing and flying kites. Also known as the Kite Museum, the acoustics and lighting make people immersive, and you can simulate and experience the real feelings of Hamamatsu Festival at any time. There are 4 square meters of large kites and floats used in the kite competition in the hall, and you can also watch the making process of kites.

The Hamamatsu Festival, held in Hamamatsu from May 3rd to 5th every year, is famous all over Japan for its spectacular kite competition and gorgeous float parade. It is said that it was also started by the city master to celebrate the birth of his eldest son more than 411 years ago. The kites used in the Kite Festival, the biggest attraction of Hamamatsu Festival, are generally three to eight tatami, and the rope connecting them is nearly several hundred meters long.

in the experience area of the museum, you can experience drawing kites and flying kites. You can make your own unique kite, and immediately watch your own kite fly into the sky. It's really an interesting experience.

Hamamatsu is the headquarters of YAMAHA, KAWAI, Roland and other world-renowned musical instrument manufacturers. In Hamamatsu Station, the city of musical instruments, a large-scale grand piano that can be used as accompaniment in large-scale official performances has even been discovered.

Take the Shinkansen to Hamamatsu, and you will see it near the ticket gate. This kind of piano is absolutely rare in other stations. Anyone can play. Let's challenge. In Hamamatsu, the city of music, everyone is a musician.

Take the Shinkansen from Hamamatsu Station to Nagoya Station, get off and have dinner at the miso fried pork chop "Yaeyama fried pork chop" in the station. The taste of Nagoya is very special, and the color is as deep as coffee. When the fried pork chops were served, the flavored soup was sprinkled on the spot, and the taste was delicious and special, which was completely different from the fried pork chops eaten in Tokyo before.

stay at night in Nagoya JR gate tower hotel, which is located at Nagoya station and bustling street. Nagoya station and subway station are all within walking distance, which is very convenient. The view in the comfortable room is extremely wide. After a day's travel, Yue Nai and her baby returned to the hotel and emptied in front of the oversized floor-to-ceiling windows. The lights of buildings such as JR Central Building and Nagoya City Sightseeing Case sparkled with starlight, which was extremely healing.

DAY3 is in close contact with animals

In the middle of the journey, Yuenai and her baby went deep into the hinterland of Aichi Prefecture. On the morning of the third day, I was still in Nagoya, visiting the Toyota Industrial Technology Memorial Hall. There is a Chinese translator here, and you can directly get Chinese explanations by scanning the QR code with your mobile phone, which is very convenient. Toyota Industrial Technology Memorial Hall is a professional museum built by Toyota Group using its birthplace, the former factory site of Toyota Automatic Weaving Factory. Founded in 1994 by Toyota Group, Toyoda Satoshi invented the automatic textile machine here in 1911.

The memorial hall is mainly composed of a hall, a textile machinery hall, an automobile hall, a technology park and a Toyota Group Pavilion. The hall includes a memorial room, a large-screen tour guide and an old-fashioned circular loom. The Toyota Group Pavilion mainly introduces the history of Toyota Group.

The most important automobile pavilion mainly displays its production technology, principle, structure, automobile technology and the evolution of production technology. And all of them have realized dynamic demonstration, which tourists can operate and experience by themselves. It is very effective for the study and training of professionals, and non-professionals can also get a lot of gains. Modern automobile manufacturing technology has also been richly embodied here, and various simulated production processes, such as welding, painting and the real process simulation of assembling robot production lines, have a strong shock.

A distinctive ape in Quanshan

Yuenai and his baby arrived at Quanshan Station after about 25 minutes by tram from Nagoya Station of Mingtie. Quanshan City is located in the northwest of Aichi Prefecture and the east of the thick-tailed plain, centering on the national treasure Quanshan City, and remains the atmosphere of the industrial and commercial district of the ancient city in the 7th century. Dog Mountain City, also known as Baidi City, was built in the first half of the 6th century and was the last castle owned by individuals in Japan (by 2114). The watchtower Tianshou Pavilion above is the oldest style in the existing watchtower. Under the castle, there is the Aocun Mansion, which preserves the appearance of the merchant buildings at that time, as well as various traditional buildings and folk activities such as Leyuan and raising cormorants for people to visit and appreciate.

it takes about 11 minutes to walk from the famous railway station, which is a range for easy walking and sightseeing. There are many routes to Quanshan, so it is easy to make a sightseeing plan. Dog Mountain City is located on a cliff about 85 meters south of Kisokawa, and it is a flat mountain city between hills and plains in terms of the terrain near its buildings. At the same time, the dog mountain city has the oldest surviving celestial guardian in Japan and is designated as a national treasure of Japan.

when you get to the dog mountain city, it's essential to take a walk in the dog mountain town, where all kinds of snacks are dazzling. Yuenai and the baby experienced rickshaws here. The young man who pulled the rickshaw talked very interesting. Not only did he experience the scenery by car, but he also had a conversation with the local people. It was also a way to experience the local customs. Adults and children were very happy!

There is a Dengaku restaurant called "Motomachi Chaliao" in the middle of Tsuyama-CHO. Dengaku is a traditional dish with miso on tofu, where you can enjoy all kinds of modern flavors. The "Goldfish" in this shop is a popular menu, which makes Yue Nai hooked up! With goldfish as the theme, the colorful color scheme is very top-grade and looks delicious. The drinks in the shape of goldfish bowl are particularly interesting, and there are many jelly sweets of red goldfish, which are as creative as the real goldfish bowl. The set meal is a variety of flavors in Dengaku. Every time you stutter, there will be a little surprise, which is totally different.

Photo courtesy: Japan Ape Center

It takes about 5 minutes to get to the Ape Center by bus from Quanshan Station, which is the place that the baby always thinks of. The Japanese Ape Center is a monkey-themed zoo. It is the first time to see so many kinds of monkeys, and you can also observe them at close range. The baby is very excited.

On weekends in winter, you can see monkeys around bonfires. Animals were originally afraid of fire, but the monkeys here have the habit of burning fire in cold winter, and sometimes they bake sweet potatoes. Monkeys eat hot roasted sweet potatoes, and you will be cured by it!

Gifu is in a great mood to climb the mountain and look far away

Arrive at Gifu Station and take the cable car in Jin Huashan. This cable car connects Gifu Park and Jin Huashan Peak Station for about 4 minutes. The natural beauty of Jin Huashan and Changliangchuan, which are covered by virgin forests, and the streets of Gifu City can be seen at a panoramic view. It also operates at night in summer, attracting many tourists to enjoy the night view.

On one side, there is a full screen of maple leaf scenery on Jinhua Mountain, and on the other hand, the whole city of Gifu comes into view. The scenery is so healing!

There are a lot of squirrels opposite the peak station of Jin Huashan Cable Car, which is called Jin Huashan Squirrel Village. You need to disinfect your hands and wear gloves when entering the garden. If you feed squirrels, it is recommended that you wear thick pants, because squirrels may suddenly hug people's legs because they want food.

The Jin Huashan Observatory can overlook the scenery of Gifu almost 361 degrees, which is particularly spectacular! Moreover, there are binoculars, which are very interesting. It is very recommended to watch the sunrise and sunset here. The dating of couples is very romantic.

"Missile Cattle" refers to black hair and cattle that have been reared for the longest time in Gifu County and have passed certain standards such as being reared for more than 1.4 months. The barbecue of missile cattle is really an unforgettable experience. When you come here, you must try its different taste, otherwise you will be sorry. In this city of flying cows, there are barbecue shops everywhere, and the choice of this red beko did not disappoint us. The missile beef really melts in the mouth without any seasoning, and the meat itself is quite delicious.
