Japan is a country full of vitality and vitality. It is also the most developed country in Asia. Japan has a small land area but a population of over 100 million. The per capita space occupied is very small, but the Japanese can reasonably The city is run to meet the needs of the population, so Japanese architecture is very beautiful. Let me share with you a seven-day independent travel guide for Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, and Osaka.

It can be said that the seven days of free travel in Japan are fully arranged.

Visa can be applied for by someone, it costs 400 per person, and you only need to provide your passport and photo.

In order to control how much I sent and bought, I only brought a 24-inch suitcase. Fortunately, I packed it all back.

The last picture contains some beauty sharing and all the baby details. Please see the other notes on my homepage for detailed descriptions. Hotel recommendations

1. Air tickets and hotels

Air tickets: Round trip ANA booked on Ctrip costs 3,707 (expensive in summer). Remember to buy delay insurance! We were compensated 300 yuan for delay the first time we came back! Friends going to Tokyo recommend going to Haneda Airport, which is close to the city.

Hotel: If you want to change your stay for two or three days, B&B is not recommended. It is recommended that you stay in a hotel for convenience. The hotels I booked were all easy to find and in good locations.

First: Tokyo.

Tokyo Shinjuku Washington Hotel

From Narita Airport to the hotel, take the Limousine bus directly to the hotel entrance. When you get off, someone will help you carry your luggage. The ticket is 3100 yen.

The hotel is located in the Shinjuku area, with a good location. There are major department stores and subway Shinjuku Station nearby, which is very convenient for surrounding attractions.

Hakone:

Hakone Yumoto Fujiya Hotel

The hotel is located near Hakone Yumoto Station, and is directly accessible from the station through a red bridge. There is an outdoor hot spring in the hotel. And at Yumoto Station, you can take a mountain bike to go up all the scenic spots, which is very convenient. If you arrive at the hotel in the afternoon and don’t have time to go up the mountain, there are many beautiful views in the hotel and surrounding areas, so you can have a great time taking photos.

Kyoto:

Mitsui Garden Hotel Kyoto Shijo

Free hot spring baths and massages are available in the hotel. From Kyoto Station to the hotel, take bus No. 50 and get off at Shijo Nishi-dōin. If you want to go there, there are buses that go directly to the entrance of Yuen Garden and Kiyomizu Temple. The hotel provides Chinese attractions maps, bus route maps, surrounding restaurant distribution maps, etc. Ps: English at the front desk is great.

Osaka:

Osaka Dotonbori Hotel

This hotel in Osaka can be said to be the smallest! But the key point is that the front desk can speak Chinese, where do you want to go, You can ask her how to go! She will mark it clearly for you on the map. I originally chose this place because of its convenient location. There is a food street just outside. There are major department stores and luxury specialty stores nearby! It is very close to Shinsaibashi, Namba, Universal Studios, and Nankai Electric Railway. It can be said that it is in the core area. Play with confidence and have fun. The hotel also provides late-night snacks, free car rental and other services! Although the sparrow is small, it has all the essentials. Worth recommending. Itinerary

First stop: Tokyo. (July 15th)

Since our flight was delayed, we didn’t arrive at the hotel until 7 o’clock Japan time. We had a meal nearby, walked around Shinjuku Lumine and then returned to the hotel. After nine o'clock in the evening in Tokyo, there are almost no people on the streets, and major department stores are closed, so if you are a girl, go back to the hotel as early as possible to avoid accidentally entering the red light district.

(July 16) Depart early in the morning - Sensoji Temple

Subway: Get on the train at Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office, take the Oedo Line - get off at O_ Station, transfer to the Asakusa Line, and get off at Asakusa get off. (There are staff at the subway automatic ticket counter who can speak Chinese)

I’m really confused about the Tokyo subway! So many lines! So many mouths! Sometimes I can’t understand the map and can’t find it. Getting to the subway entrance depends on your mouth. If you don’t understand, just ask pedestrians on the street. They will be happy to help you, and some enthusiastic ones will even take you to find it themselves. Don't be embarrassed to ask, they are really happy to help you!

When you get off the bus, there are signs, just follow the exit above.

Find the Kaminarimon Gate and follow it to the end of Sensoji Temple. There are small shops on both sides of the road. You can just take a look. I personally think there is no need to spend money here.

I don’t believe in Buddhism, but since I’m here, let’s draw a lot. It’s 100 yen once, and you can put coins in at the self-service. If you draw a bad lot, tie it on the shelf next to you. I am Half good but not bad, I took it away myself. There are people selling royal guards in the temple, and you can buy them as gifts for friends to keep them safe. The price is about 500 yen.

Next stop: Hakone

It was already noon when we returned to the hotel from Sensoji Temple to pick up our luggage. After just eating a bowl of ramen, I was ready to take the Odakyu Romance Express (buy the ticket on the first floor of Odakyu Department Store)

The Odakyu Romance Express ticket includes (limited express ticket, regular ticket) express ticket 890 yen, which needs to be purchased in advance on the official website Yes, you can choose your seat. After purchasing, print it in hard copy and go to the site to buy the Hakone ticket price

2. The daily pass (no need to sell ordinary tickets) is RMB 309, which allows you to go to various attractions in Hakone and enjoy unlimited rides. This means of transportation is very cost-effective, and tickets for some attractions can be discounted by showing your pass. Large luggage can be stored on the ground floor of Odakyu Department Store for about 50 yuan.

The Odakyu Romance Express goes to the basement level and reaches Hakone Yumoto, which takes more than an hour.

Since it was already four or five o'clock when we arrived at Tangben, we walked around the surrounding area and randomly found nearby Japanese food to eat, and the prices were pretty good. Then we went back to the hot springs. The four of us stayed in a Japanese-style bungalow. There are tatami mats, and someone will help lay them out in advance. Before taking a bath, you should remove your makeup and wash your body outside. Japanese-style hot springs allow you to soak naked. If you feel uncomfortable due to the heat, you can grab a glass of ice-cold lemonade. I think Japanese people usually go out after ten minutes and then come back in after a while.

Early the next morning, we followed the route on the map (the map will be given when we buy the pass) all the way up the mountain.

First, take the mountain tram from Yumoto Station to the Sculpture Forest Art Museum (ticket required, more than 100 yuan). In fact, we art students can’t understand it, haha, but the scenery inside is still good. It is no exaggeration to say that this place is as beautiful as in a cartoon.

You have to take the cable car to the morning mountain. You can see the spectacular sulfur processing. Before getting on the car, the staff will hand out disinfectant wipes. Because the smell of sulfur is too strong, use it to cover your mouth and nose if necessary. .

Take the cable car to Owakudani just for the black eggs. When I ate it, it felt like an ordinary egg. However, I bought a lot of small gifts in the small store over there. Some are quite interesting. Friends who have time can continue walking up, take a pirate ship at Taoyuantai Port, and visit Lake Ashi. Because we had to rush to Kyoto, we went down the mountain and returned to Yumoto after seeing Owakudani.

From Yumoto to Kyoto (July 17)

Take the Odakyu from Yumoto to Odawara Station and buy the Kyoto Shinkansen, which costs about 700 RMB and takes one and a half hours. Hour.

There are really a lot of Chinese people in Kyoto. I met a lot of them while eating. We started chatting. After all, I haven’t spoken Mandarin for several days. I found a skewers nearby and ate very satisfied! Because I Finally got something salty!

We set off early the next morning - Kiyomizudera Temple

You can get there by bus 101 and 107 right in front of the hotel. On Japanese buses, you need to swipe your card first when you get on the bus and when you get off. No matter how many sites there are, the price is the same. Along the way we saw many students taking them to play at Kiyomizu Temple. Since Japan is too hot in the summer, we did not rent kimonos. It was still very beautiful to see girls who are not afraid of the heat wearing them!

The Kiyomizu Temple was under maintenance that day, but it did not affect the beauty. We went all the way up, hung our written wishes on it, and prayed for guardians for our friends. It is said that it is very effective to seek marriage here!

When we came down, we drank matcha, although the first sip was very bitter. , but still can't cover up its fragrance. Of course, don’t forget to buy when you go down the mountain. Remember, the lower you go, the cheaper they are! Just buy these little things for a few hundred yuan! Be sure to control how much you send!

Because I want to go back to Osaka to buy them We were shopping (I didn’t bring any clothes or shoes when I came! I was running out of clothes) so we returned to Osaka as early as possible that afternoon. It is also very convenient to take the train from Kyoto to Osaka.

Shinsaibashi has the largest Matsumoto Kiyoshi (pharmaceuticals and cosmetics), and Namba has major department stores (Namba Park, Opa), with all kinds of clothes and shoes.

The most important day to get high! Recommended attractions

Universal Studios Osaka! (July 19)

From Namba Station to Half an hour at Universal Studios.

Universal Studios opens at nine o'clock, but sometimes it opens earlier.

I bought electronic tickets and four express passes in advance (I didn’t buy the seven items), and scanned the QR code to enter directly. You must buy the Quick Pass in advance. It is available on Taobao.com. The Pterosaur version of the Quick Seven is the most suitable and has a lot of fun! Like our summer vacation, there will be a queue for major items with Quick Pass.

First of all, the studio map (you can also get it when entering)

The first item: Hollywood Dream Ride—?

There is no fast pass or entry for this item Then turn right and wait in line for about twenty minutes. I have to admire the Japanese staff for their enthusiasm and high efficiency.

This section consists of sitting upright and sitting backwards. The staff will ask you which one to choose. The one we chose to walk backwards was so crazy that my legs felt weak after we got off. The feeling of weightlessness is too strong! If you have a weak heart, don’t sit down! It’s too exciting. There is a place to store bags next to it.

Second item: Great White Shark

Because the time limit for the fast pass of Flying Pterosaur is around 11 o'clock, we took advantage of this time to choose a small item.

I was on a boat and encountered great white sharks on the way. Some boats sank and caught fire. This all depends on the captain's acting skills! He acted very hard and very interestingly.

The third item: Jurassic Park ride?

The queue lasts about 20 minutes

This item is similar to Rapids or Disney's Caribbean ocean. To be honest, it is more exciting to sit in the first row (bring your own raincoat). Especially when walking through the darkness, you will be somewhat frightened.

Item 4: Flying Pterosaur?

This protective measure is somewhat reassuring, at least the upper body and feet are fixed. You can experience the 360-degree overlooking of the roller coaster, the feeling of being suspended, and the feeling of rotating 360 degrees in the sky and facing the highway with your back to the sea. I opened my eyes several times along the way, and all I saw was the sea. I pretended to be fine as the sea came down.

The fourth item: Minions Paradise - Minions

The queue time is one and a half hours

This item is the 4D effect. After entering, watch the cartoon first , Balabala said it would take ten minutes before he could go in and play. In a carriage, the first row is more effective. In fact, the car doesn't move, it just wanders in place.

After the game, you can go shopping in the Minion Gift Shop. You will gain a lot. Anyway, I bought a lot.

The fifth item: Spider-Man?

I think the 3D speeding effect is pretty good and worth playing.

I happened to catch a float parade in New York City. I don’t know why, but I was moved to tears when I saw it. The atmosphere of the scene and the passion of the staff will really make you happy and happy to tears.

The sixth item: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter?

Take you to relive the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, take you soaring in the sky of Hogwarts on a broomstick, and even stretch out your hand You can catch the golden spy approaching. Feel it for yourself!

This express pass is around four o'clock. We went in early to stroll around and drank butterbeer (a small cup is enough, too much will make you tired! It's best to drink it after the fun is over) , otherwise the rolling one will make you want to vomit). Shopping guide

Finally, we left time for shopping (July 20)

1. Matsumoto Kiyoshi Cosmetics—Shinsaibashi Store

Basically, you can buy everything here

Tax-free for purchases over 5,000 yen

Bibi drops, FX eye drops, foot patches, anti-fever patches, Ryukakusan, and various facial masks. I feel like these are must-buys! It’s best to pack a box and buy them, otherwise it will be a problem to take them back too much.

Go to Hankyu Department Store in Umeda for big-name cosmetics. There is a 5% discount for swiping UnionPay cards. Hankyu has a wide variety of items, and the service attitude of the store staff is also excellent. Each sign comes with a Chinese translation.

Both CPB and Shu Uemura have to get a number to purchase (there are too many people). It’s a pity that I didn’t buy the twany version of Angel Honey. The 18-year-old blue box version won’t be available until December.

refa is sold in Hankyu Department Store, and the price is about 1,600 yuan.

Recommend Albin Honey Powder Cream (black moisturizing version), which is very moisturizing in winter.

CPB clarinet isolation, needless to say, I personally think that Japan should be nourished.

Preparations before returning to the country with the local SK-II ex-boyfriend mask

Returning to the country on July 21st

Take the Nankai Railway from Namba directly to Kansai Airport. The 7:10 express train we took took about fifty minutes. Everyone should control their time well. Check in at counter A for ANA flights. They are really a bit slow when checking in! They will ask you a lot of questions! And they will confirm again and again!

We got up early to catch a late meeting. Unfortunately, the flight was delayed again. Each person was given a meal of 1,000 yen, which was enough to buy a coffee and sandwich at Hoshibaba. You can visit duty-free shops, cigarettes are very cheap, and some stores even offer a 10% discount. I bought two soft bags from Zhonghua and one for RMB 465.

There are also Shiroi Koibito, strawberry-filled chocolate, raw chocolate, etc. Anyway, I like to eat them all~ I don’t have much left when I give them to relatives and friends at home.

Ps: I have to say that ANA’s in-flight meals are pretty good.

Okay. The seven-day trip ended with a lot of shopping. I hope this guide can help everyone.

Japan is a country worth visiting. Clean streets and enthusiastic people. Whether they are gray-haired old people or office workers in a hurry, as long as you ask them for help, they will stop and patiently answer your questions, and even run up and down to help you. Here you go, I will share my experience of free travel in Japan here today. In the next issue, I will bring you free shopping experience and strategies in Japan.
