The name of Japan means "the country of sunrise". The whole country consists of four big islands, namely Hokkaido, Shikoku, Honshu and Kyushu, and thousands of small islands. The coastline is long and tortuous, the mountains are rugged, the valleys are staggered, and the scenery is beautiful and magnificent.

This neighboring country separated only by a strip of water is extremely contradictory, and contradiction is its most fascinating place. A book "Chrysanthemum and Knife" tells the story of Japan's softness and cruelty. Pink cherry rain, gorgeous red leaves, green forests all over the island country and long beautiful coastline all have exquisite femininity; There are many volcanic earthquakes that make these women fragile and precious. Japan's avant-garde fashion is an incredible country of creative technology, but it is also the country that adheres to traditional culture the most: the ancient buildings of shrines and monasteries have a history of hundreds of years, the tea ceremony, gardens and handicrafts inherit the beauty of the wind, and the intimate service of Japanese style and the knowledge of book ceremony of the people are equally lamentable. Japan has the simplicity and sweetness of "healing system", the sadness and perseverance of pursuing "brilliant moments", and the lovely paranoia of pursuing perfect details.

From Tokyo to Kyoto, from Hokkaido to Okinawa, each place has its own unique customs and is worth visiting again. Enjoy the beautiful scenery, taste delicious food and go shopping crazily, not to mention attending traditional festivals and soaking in open-air hot springs. Putting on a Japanese bathrobe, stepping on clogs and strolling in the ancient and fashionable streets are exactly the Japanese scenery people imagine.

area distribution

Japan is mainly divided into Honshu, Hokkaido, Shikoku and Kyushu. The largest Honshu Island, from east to west, is divided into Northeast China, kanto region, Central China, Kansai (Feng Jingen) and China. The most popular tourist areas are Kanto where Tokyo is located and Kansai where Osaka is located.

kanto region

The travel destination is the metropolitan area centered on Tokyo (including Mount Fuji, Hakone-CHO and Izu in the central region), which has both urban customs and natural beauty. In the north of Tokyo, Gunma Prefecture has a summer resort of Karuizawa and the famous Caojin Hot Spring, and Tochigi Prefecture has a world heritage of Sunlight, which is worth visiting.

Kansai region

Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto and Nara constitute the main tourist routes in Kansai. Osaka, the capital of food, Kobe, a port city with western flavor, Kyoto and Nara, which are quaint and nostalgic, are all the most worthwhile destinations in Japan, concentrating the essence of Japan.

Other fields

The northernmost Hokkaido and the southernmost Okinawa are also very popular in recent years. The lavender fields in Hokkaido in summer and the pure white romance in winter are very attractive. Okinawa's transparent blue seashore is a diving resort without losing any Southeast Asian islands.

Kyushu Island in the west is closest to China, with the most famous Japanese hot springs of Oita Beppu and Tongbu, as well as charming cities such as Fukuoka, Nagasaki and Kagoshima.

The central region is the "roof" of Japan, with many high-altitude mountains, which is an excellent place for outdoor mountaineering. Nagoya, the center of automobile industry, is a major city in central China. Gushan Town in Gifu Prefecture, Shirakawa Township and Kanazawa in Ishikawa Prefecture are full of ancient Japanese customs.

Shikoku Island, Northeast China and China are relatively simple and low-key. World Heritage Hiroshima Iwashima Shrine, the oldest shrine in Japan, Shimane Izumo Society, Ehime Daohou Hot Spring, and the three major festivals in Northeast China in summer are good choices for Japan's in-depth tour.

In addition, the mountains, hills and hills in Japan account for 765,438+0% of the total area, and the forest coverage rate is as high as 67%. The Hida Mountains in the central region roughly divide Japan's territory into the Pacific Ocean side and the Sea of Japan side. There are many cliffs and few ports in the Sea of Japan in the northwest. There are many estuaries in the southeast of the Pacific Ocean, forming many natural ports. In terms of prosperity and development, the southeast is higher than the northwest.

electric outlet

The voltage in Japan is 1 10 volts. There are two frequencies, 50Hz in kanto region and 60Hz in Kansai. Mobile phone, camera, computer, etc. Belonging to 100-240 volts can be used directly. 99% of sockets in Japan are two-phase flat sockets, so both three-phase and two-phase round pins need power adapters.

The natural landscapes in all parts of Japan are beautiful all year round, each with its own style, and it is a veritable country suitable for playing all year round. When choosing the travel date, we should pay attention to three time periods: 65438+February 31-65438+1October 3, the Japanese "Golden Week" in early May and the Kogasawara Festival in mid-August. During this period, many shops and restaurants are closed, traffic is crowded and mixed, and air tickets to and from Japan will increase in price, but we can experience Japanese life and traditions. Besides the above, there are many unique traditional festivals and seasonal celebrations all over Japan. You can pay attention to whether you have encountered such festivals when traveling, and avoid these periods if you don't like crowds. In addition, 65438+ 10 and July are the best discount seasons for shopping. The following is introduced by season (Honshu Island is the main island, and the climate and tourist season of Hokkaido and Okinawa are slightly different).

Spring (March to May)

From the end of March to the beginning of April every year, it is a short and gorgeous cherry blossom season, during which schools open and new employees take up jobs. In a sense, every year is a "new beginning" for Japan. This season is the normal tourist season in Japan, and cherry blossom viewing resorts in Tokyo and Kyoto are crowded.

Summer (June to August)

June is usually the rainy season in Japan, which will have some influence on travel. The midsummer season after the plum rains is hot and humid, and the temperature is similar to that in south-central China. There are many seaside resorts along Japan's long coastline, which are suitable for summer vacation. It is also a good choice to go to the mountainous areas such as Karuizawa and Nagano for summer vacation. The summit route of Mount Fuji is also open to tourists in summer. There are many traditional festivals in Japan in summer. You can visit the night market and enjoy the fireworks show.

Autumn (September-165438+1October)

All over Japan, forests are dyed and red leaves are everywhere. Kyoto, Aomori and other places are good places to enjoy maple. Appreciating chrysanthemums is also a great tradition in Japan. Autumn is also called "Autumn of Culture" in Japan, and various exhibitions, concerts and sports competitions will be held.

Winter (65438+February-February)

In the coldest season, it snows everywhere in Japan, and soaking in hot springs in the snow is the greatest enjoyment. There are many ski resorts in the central, northeastern and Hokkaido areas to experience. Hokkaido also has world-famous festivals such as Sapporo Ice and Snow Festival and Otaru Snow Lantern Road.

Japanese hotels generally provide commonly used disposable toiletries, but sometimes tourists need to bring their own slippers and pajamas. It's rainy in summer, so you'd better take an umbrella. If you go skiing in winter, you should also keep warm. Thick down jacket is necessary.

Other preventive measures

1. Prefectures in Japan are parallel first-class administrative regions. "County" is equal to China's concept of province, and consists of cities, towns and villages, which is contrary to the situation that "the city is bigger than the county" in China.

2. Japanese hotels are small and exquisite, and the room types are generally divided into harmony rooms (tatami), foreign style and foreign style. Room rate usually refers to the cost of a single person, not the whole room. If the room rate is marked as "one bed and two meals", it includes two meals in the morning and evening besides accommodation.

3. Transportation hubs and tourist information offices in major cities in Japan provide a lot of free sightseeing materials, many of which are in English or Chinese versions, which are very detailed and useful, so you can read more.

There are coin lockers in stations, airports and some department stores, which can store all kinds of luggage, which is very convenient for self-help tourists. Usually 300-500 yen per day.

The tap water in Japan is relatively clean, but now it can't be directly drunk anywhere, and it is generally marked as "drinkable". The bathroom automatic cleaning system is generally used in high-end hotels.

6. There is no habit of tipping in Japan, but a service charge of 10% to 15% may be charged for consumption in hotels or high-end restaurants.
