Although Japan is not very big, it is also a tourist attraction that you can visit. You can pay attention to it when you go to Japan. What I want to tell you today is my travel notes about Japan. You can read it.

The plane arrived at Osaka Kansai Airport on time on the afternoon of January 20th. I filled out the entry form on the plane, handed it to the staff after getting off the plane, filled in the hotel where I was staying, and entered my fingerprints.

Maybe it was a little late to pick up our luggage. Only the boxes we brought were left there, and two staff members were waiting for us there.

I picked up my luggage, put on the data card purchased at TB, and started my one-week trip to Neon Country.

When making the guide, the most worrying thing is buying tickets at the station after arriving, because the route is already displayed very completely on Google Maps. If you don’t understand Japanese, will there be any obstacles to buying tickets?

After arriving, I found that although there were some obstacles, it would be fine after getting familiar with it a few times.

First of all, when we came out of the airport to buy tickets, we met a Chinese-speaking instructor in front of the ticket machine asking where to go and telling us which ticket to buy, so we bought Nankai Electric Railway tickets smoothly.

Generally, you have to take this bus to get to Shinsaibashi, Namba, etc.

I ran into some trouble after getting on the bus. The bus was relatively old and there was no electronic display for announcing the station. I had to go to a station and look at the sign outside. I wonder if all the buses on this line are like this.

Originally, I followed the route on Google Maps to Tenkachaya Station, but then I saw that it was also possible to go to Namba and then to my accommodation. In addition, Namba is the terminal station, so I didn’t need to worry about which station the bus was currently going to, so I decided to take Namba on the spur of the moment.

The wave stood.

Because I bought a ticket to Tenka Tea House, where should I exchange my ticket if I take the Namba bus? I called my classmates in Japan and told me that there will be an actuator when I arrive at the station. I just put the ticket in and add money.

.

After arriving at the station, I saw the actuator, but when I inserted the ticket, it showed that the price to Tenka Tea House was the same as to Namba, so there was no need to exchange the ticket.

Below is a photo of the actuator I saw outside. It was not taken at Namba Station. It is for reference only.

After arriving at Namba Station, I had to transfer to the Sennichimae Line to Tanimachi 9-chome. Although I found this stop on the route map on the wall, I searched in front of the ticket vending machine for a long time but could not find it.

I always thought that just like in China, you have to choose a station first, see how much it costs, and then put money in.

In fact, on the route map, there is a number above each station, which is the amount of money required to get from this station to that station. There are some buttons for the amount of 170,320 on the ticket vending machine. Just put the money in first, and then directly select the corresponding amount.

I didn’t take a map of the Sennichimae line, so I’ll use the one in Akihabara, Tokyo.

For example, if I want to go from Akihabara to Ueno Station, I see 140 written under Ueno Station. After putting in the money, just click the 140 button on the machine to get the ticket.

There happened to be a pharmacy just after exiting the station on the route map, so I went in to buy cold medicine for my brother.

There were two old people in the store. We used English and gestures to touch our foreheads to indicate fever and our throats to indicate pain. They quickly understood and could tell us in simple English how many times a day we should take and how many tablets we should take each time.

After that, I went to other pharmacies and they all spoke some English, so communication was no problem.

We followed Google Maps to find the booked B&B, and the landlord had already come downstairs to wait for us in advance.

He explained the check-in instructions to us and introduced the shopping and eating places in the surrounding area.

The room is small, a bit old, and very clean. The kitchen is fully equipped with water glasses, toothbrushes, shampoo, etc.

There are two rooms, one with a Japanese-style floor and the other with a bed.

After I dropped off my things at the B&B, I went out to eat and found a small shop.

Seeing that the table next to us had ordered beer, we ordered one too, and it tasted pretty good.

The noodles I ordered were delicious. After a week of shopping, I saw many places to eat noodles in Japan, and they were all very good.

After dinner, around eight o'clock, I wandered around. It was very quiet at first, and as I walked, I actually visited Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi.

I had seen it before while checking the guide, but I didn’t expect to reach it so quickly.

This place in Shinsaibashi is open very late, and there were still many people here when I was around 10 o'clock in the evening.

There are a lot of people from the street here at night soliciting customers. You don’t see them during the day. They are all tourists.

After a busy day, there will be some garbage on the ground, especially a lot of cigarette butts.

I observed that when the store closes at night, bags of garbage are thrown at the door of the store. There should be garbage trucks collecting them later.

There is a playground next to the residence. In the morning, the teacher takes the students to train on the playground and run around the block.

Alipay and WeChat Pay are not as popular as I thought before. Only a few large stores or duty-free shops opened by Chinese can use them, and most of them support UnionPay payment.

Some fruit shops and shops only accept cash, Master card and VISA card. If you want to go there, it is best to take a Master card or VISA card.

In the takoyaki shop below, you have to put cash into the machine next to it, and then choose what you want. After that, a small ticket will come out, hand the ticket to the store, and then choose the seasoning and sauce.

There are also some noodle places in Japan that are like this.

There are fewer people here at Hoshan Temple, and some locals also come here to pray.
