In Hokkaido, Japan, you can not only soak in hot springs in winter, but also take your children there. The first few scenic spots in Bian Xiao are more suitable for taking children. You should also focus on the preparation before traveling.

Dengbie Ocean Park

This is a Nordic castle-style ocean park. It is a castle-like building, full of fairy tales, especially suitable for little girls. Walking in the underwater tunnel, you can watch all kinds of fish of different sizes shuttle around, just like the princess of the sea in Disney animation. At the same time, you can also enjoy animal performances such as penguin walking, dolphin performance and sea lion performance, and touch marine animals with your own hands.

transportation

it is adjacent to JR boarding station, and you can walk to the right at the boarding station for 5 minutes.

in ECORIN village, alpaca ranch

super cute alpaca that children can't resist! Here, we will complete an educational journey of caring for animals, plants and the natural environment with the theme of environmental protection and healthy food.

Asahi Zoo

This is the most famous zoo in Hokkaido and the northernmost zoo in Japan. Xushan Zoo is famous not only because adults and children love it, but also because of its unique animal "behavior display" way. The so-called behavior display is to let animals play freely and show their health and vitality to tourists by setting up various unique animal swimming tools. The concept of exhibition breaks the dull and static state of animals hiding in the corner of cages that are common in zoos. The new dynamic beauty displayed by animals has become a bright spot to attract tourists' attention. If you leave Sapporo for a one-day round trip, you can choose to take the Asahi Zoo train with a unique animal theme in each car. Children will scream ~

Address: Kuruma, Asahikawa-CHO, Hokkaido

Business hours

May-October 9: 3-17: 15;

from November to April of the following year from 1: 3 to 15: 3;

The night zoo is only open from August 9th to August 15th: 9: -21: .

Personally, parents can choose where to go according to their children's interests and personality. If time is limited, priority should be given to the village of ECORIN, an alpaca ranch in Ocean Park. Children of all ages can enjoy close contact with animals.

tips:

With children, don't wait in line to buy tickets at the scene temporarily. Book a one-day tour online in advance, which is super convenient!

White Lovers Park

In addition to close contact with animals, older children who love sweets have to go to the White Lovers Park. With the theme of children knocking on chocolate, walk into the park and you will see a red brick building like a fairy tale castle with a chocolate factory inside. There is a movable doll bell tower outside, and there will be a "chocolate carnival" every hour. The dolls in the bell tower began to sing and dance. They were very happy. Here, you can not only visit the factory, see the whole process of chocolate production on the assembly line, but also enjoy the collections related to chocolate. Parents and children can make white couple chocolate cookies together. Full of happiness ~ but suitable for older children!

MORISU cable car+night view of Mt. Moiwa

Family trip, and the best thing is that it can make all kinds of memories during the trip. Taking the cable car is a private communication space for parents and children. MORISU cable car is the first forest experience car in the world, which connects Zaoyan mountainside station and Zaoyan hilltop station. Two cabins travel between the mountainside station and the hilltop station. The passengers seem to be galloping in the forest. Let's have a wonderful adventure with the baby!

When you reach the top of Hayakayama, you can see a large observation deck overlooking downtown Sapporo and many Japanese restaurants. You can enjoy the panoramic view of Sapporo and taste the exquisite cuisine. There is also a happiness clock on the observation deck at the top of the mountain. As time went on, the lights turned on more and more until they covered the whole city of Sapporo, which made people linger and marvel.

Prepare air tickets before departure

Actually, the main reason for this trip is my husband's Air China points. Shanghai-Tokyo ticket change is very cost-effective, and the price is the same as Shanghai-Chongqing! So we happily exchanged our points for round-trip air tickets for both of us, and then only paid more than 1 yuan in taxes and fees, which was similar to the plane tickets we picked up for nothing. Besides, the time is super good. We go early and come back late, and there is basically no waste of time. Great!

visa

a visa was found on a treasure by a travel agency. Because my husband and I have visas from developed countries in Europe and America, we can take the high-quality customer route. The submitted materials are simple and do not need any guarantee. You can search by yourself. Basically every travel agency has this service ~ when I first went to Japan, I took a sales visa, which means I will send you a form at the same time. You should print it out and take it with you, and then find the flight attendant at the boarding gate of the return plane.

mobile wifi

you must rent mobile wifi when you go to Japan. The travel agency I found this time gave you two free visas. Just pay the deposit at the airport and take it directly. At the same place, the deposit can be refunded on the spot, which is very convenient ~

Practical APP

Tokyo Metro, Tokyo Metro and JR are really a dime a dozen.

be sure to download it to your mobile phone so that you can check it at any time.

Hotel

The first four nights in Tokyo were booked on airbnb, the night to see Mount Fuji in Kawaguchi Lake was booked at the Hot Spring Hotel (awesome, more details later), and the last night in Tokyo was booked at the sunroute hotel chain booking. Overall, the cost performance is very high.

Travel Notes

Day 1

This is Anna's plane meal. I feel that all the snacks are delicious except the main meal. Haha ~ especially fruit, pineapple is really sweet! I went to Japan to eat pineapples three times this time, and they were so sweet that I was worried that all the fruits irradiated by nuclear radiation were sweeter.

After two and a half hours' flight, the plane landed smoothly at Narita Airport, far away from the city. Besides, taking a taxi in Tokyo is really sky-high. So we chose Jr. A few nights ago, I booked a hotel on airbnb. The new Okubo Station of JR Yamanote Line, the owner of which is from China, has no communication barriers ~ ~ Take the Beijing Cost Line from Narita Airport to Nimori Station, then transfer to JR Yamanote Line to the new Okubo Station, and get off the subway and walk for 3-5 minutes. There is only one stop between Okubo Station and Shinjuku Station, the transportation hub. It takes about 15-2 minutes to walk from our hotel to Shinjuku Station, but the price is at least one-third cheaper than the rooms around Shinjuku Station. The price/performance ratio can be said to be super high ~

I will eat the famous Lamian Noodles for my first meal in Japan ~ ~ Strange to say, when I went to Hokkaido the year before last, I felt that I had never seen Lamian Noodles in Sapporo. I did a raiders before going to Tokyo this time, only to find that it is a shop that Japan must pull weeds! So we put down our luggage and rushed to the Yilan Lamian Noodles store in Shinjuku. Soup is ok, and there shouldn't be too many additives such as monosodium glutamate. One of them, Lan Lamian Noodles, recommended it very, very much. Be sure to try it, it's worth eating many times!

The famous kabukicho, hahaha, contains a lot of "unexpected encounters". What do you mean, people go to Baidu by themselves ~ But it is said that outsiders are not allowed to enter this place, and there will be a social-looking person in a suit and tie at the door of every store. However, there is no phenomenon of soliciting customers online, and I feel very safe.

tickets for the next day

can be bought at the gate of the park or at the ticket vending machine in front of the museum. It's convenient, but I forgot the specific price. It's not expensive anyway. There is a special exhibition in the museum. If you want to see the special exhibition, you must buy extra tickets. Usually, tickets for special exhibitions are very expensive.

The museum is divided into three pavilions, a main pavilion, a western pavilion and an oriental pavilion. All three pavilions are very big. If you really visit, all three exhibition halls will be enough for a whole day. We made a cursory visit to the main exhibition hall and felt the atmosphere.

This is the general plan of Ueno Park, which covers a very large area. The air in the whole park is very good, and there are cherry trees on both sides of the road. Unfortunately, we are in the wrong season. If it is the cherry blossom season, it should be beautiful. No wonder Ueno Park is one of the most popular cherry blossom viewing places in Tokyo.

The eel rice in Yi Rong's store is divided into three kinds of packages: pine, bamboo and plum. In fact, there are three kinds: small, medium and large. I ordered a small portion, which is actually enough for girls. This is a set meal for my husband. We both ate very well. The eel is particularly delicious, there is no burnt place, and the rice is permeated with the eel juice, which is super delicious! However, eels still have thorns, so shh

Go to Akihabara after dinner! It takes about 2 minutes to walk from Ueno to Akihabara. I don't feel tired walking all the way. Akihabara is considered a paradise for otaku. Unfortunately, neither my husband nor I are anime fans. But there is an electrical street in Akihabara. After comparing several commercial streets, it is suggested that we must start from Akihabara. The price of electrical appliances here is really the cheapest, including cosmeceuticals. Similarly, the prices of Ito Matsumoto and Don Quixote and Akihabara are lower than those of Shinjuku. There are also many maid coffee shops here, and many cosplay maid girls stand on the street to publicize. Those who like anime culture can go in and feel it. Comics, hand-made comics and so on are everywhere. It's a pity that my husband and I are still at the level of dunk, Conan, pet elf and beautiful girl warrior.

We ran to the famous Tokyo Tower and got off at Hamamatsu-CHO by subway. It's only a short distance. We specially went to see the night scene. After turning on the light, the orange tower is really beautiful. It doesn't feel cold at all, but it brings a kind of warmth. It just feels different at night. I hesitated for a long time under the tower, but I still didn't go up. Maybe I have been to too many towers and have no desire to go up. There is a One Piece shop under the tower, all around the One Piece. Please don't miss it! )
