In Gifu County, there is a fairy tale town-Shirakawa Township, a world cultural heritage, super cheap and delicious beef, and Aofeiqing Hot Spring Township, an open-air hot spring secret where you can see snow ... This is a place where tour groups don't come, and the beautiful scenery here also tells you that snow, hot springs, food and towns are not limited to Hokkaido.
1, the world cultural heritage fairyland town of Shirakawa Township.
Baichuan town
Shirakawa Township is rated as a world cultural heritage because of its unique ancient culture of villages and settlements. In this snowy winter, the town's annual lighting activity is also known as one of the three secret places in Japan. Up to now, the village still retains the ancient way of cooperation, neighbors help each other build houses, and the village has always avoided making itself too commercialized. Dream lighting ceremony only has seven nights a year.
Ps: The lighting ceremony in winter is the peak season in the town, and rooms need to be booked six months in advance. However, Shirakawa Township has different beautiful scenery all year round. It is a great experience to enjoy cherry blossoms in spring and red leaves in autumn.
2. Xinsuigao Hot Spring, a secret hot spring under the snowy mountain cliff.
Xinsuigao hot spring
Gifu county is rich in hot spring resources, and Xinsuigao hot spring is one of the hot springs in Aofeiqiu, Gifu. Unlike the hot spring town where hot spring hotels are concentrated, this place is scattered in the valley. Maybe you have soaked in many hot springs, but you will still be surprised by the hot springs with high hot springs. The super-large open-air hot spring pool has high cliffs on one side and gurgling streams on the other. It looks like a high snow-capped mountain, which is indescribably beautiful.

There are many craftsmen here, and you can feel their dedication and dedication from each work. And because they have not been overexploited, the shopkeepers are super kind and gentle.
4, flying beef, and cattle are not only Kobe.
Feiqiu beef
Speaking of delicious food in Gifu County, the first thing I want to say is flying beef. It is as famous as Kobe cattle and Matsuzaka cattle, but it is hard to eat outside Japan. When the fatigue of wandering in a day is exhausted by hot springs, it is really very happy to enjoy a flying beef dinner.

The ancient temple in Kyoto is not just a shrine.
Compared with Tokyo, Osaka and Hokkaido, Kyoto is a city where you can calm down and savor. The most beautiful season in Kyoto is when the red maple is dyed in autumn, even more beautiful than the cherry blossoms in early spring. Compared with the niche in previous years, Kyoto is really not a niche now, but in addition to the temple attractions on standard postcards such as Jingu Temple and Kiyomizu Temple, there are many small temples full of Zen in Kyoto that are worth stopping to find out.
1, Tofuku-ji Temple, who is traveling in the illustrated world?
Dongfusi
Dongfu Temple is located at the foot of the moon wheel in Dongshan, Kyoto. Every year in late autumn, red leaves dye the valley, showing the tranquility of the ancient temple of Zen forest. It is said that it is the first place in Kyoto to enjoy the scenery of maple trees. There are three oldest doors in Japan, and a long and narrow maple corridor with thousands of maple trees on both sides. Dongfu Temple wins on a large scale, and there are countless hidden temples around it, which is really worth a visit.
2. The most beautiful red leaf courtyard.
Hogonen temple
Hogonin Temple is one of the branches of Tianlong Temple, which is called the most beautiful courtyard in the red leaf season in Kyoto. The scenery of moss against red leaves is amazing. The red leaves under the night lights are also not to be missed, full of romance. Beside the courtyard is Tianlong Temple, a world heritage site, which is an excellent place to watch the red leaves in Lanshan. In the morning, you can walk up the red leaves steps that the monks didn't clean, and the scenery is excellent.
3. Kenneji, a quiet temple forgotten by tourists.
Kenningji
Kenneji is at the end of Huajian Road. Many tourists think it is not a scenic spot, so it is very quiet. But in fact, Ganning Temple is also one of the oldest temples in Kyoto, and its courtyard is not inferior. It is really pleasant to sit here, have a cup of matcha and look up at the national treasure Yunlong map.
The latest visa policy, visa relaxation.
Many media on the Internet have said that the latest Japanese visa relaxation policy since 19 is actually a kind of "local visa", but after careful study, we will find that this kind of visa has lowered many thresholds and has many benefits for China people to travel freely.
1. Multiple entry visa for business visitors and cultural exchanges.
First of all, the requirement of a white passport was cancelled, and it was no problem to go to Japan for the first time. Secondly, the "physical guarantee" and other guarantee documents have been cancelled, which means there is no need to find a Japanese to provide you with a "personal guarantee". In other words, it will be more convenient to use a business visa for business communication and business inspection.
2. Individual tourists have entered Okinawa and three northeastern counties for many times.
The conditions for "individuals and family members with sufficient economic strength" have been relaxed to become "individuals and family members with certain economic strength who have obtained short-term visas in Japan in the past three years". In addition, family members were not allowed to go to Japan alone before, but now they can go to Japan alone without the applicant.
Simply put, as long as I have a certain income and have been to Japan before, I can happily get multiple entry visas with my parents, and the family-parents trip can start at any time! If my parents want, they can also travel alone.
3. Multiple visit visas for individuals with high incomes.
This is the newly established visa type: "five-year multiple-entry sightseeing visa". For high-income people who travel to Japan for the first time, the previous restrictions on "entry in Okinawa, Fukushima and other places" were changed to "five-year multiple-entry visas without regional restrictions".
Finally, don't think it is too difficult and too far to go to Japan for free travel. If you really yearn for it, get up the courage and start! I believe you will have a unique experience in Japan!
