How many days to spend in Kyoto?

Question 1: How many days is appropriate to stay in Kyoto when traveling to Japan? I think this question is very personal. I think it usually takes 1 to 2 days to visit the more famous scenic spots in Kyoto city, and 1 day in nearby areas. Generally speaking, 3 days is more suitable, such as the Sagano Train You can actually stay in Kyoto when visiting nearby cities like Nara and Uji, etc., so it depends on your own arrangements. My personal suggestion is to travel slowly, because even a small alley in Kyoto can be very... Chic and very artistic. We went to Kyoto with Zhongxin last year and only stayed for 1 day. Personally, I felt that we didn’t have enough fun. If you are short on time, I personally recommend staying in Kyoto for 3 days so that you can enjoy almost all the important attractions in Kyoto.

Question 2: How to plan your trip to Kyoto? How many days do you plan your trip?

Preferred attractions: Kinkakuji Temple - Nijo Castle - Ninnezaka Sannzaka - Kiyomizudera Temple

Then: Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine - Sanjusangendo Hall - Yasaka Shrine - Hanama Trail

Again: Ginkakuji-Nanzenji-Heian Shrine-Shimogamo Shrine-Kamigamo Shrine

Other attractions, such as Higashi Honganji, Nishi Honganji, Kyoto Imperial Palace, Toji Temple, Shoukokuji Temple, etc. are just random.

Among them, Higashi Honganji Temple is one of the favorites arranged by travel agencies, because there is no ticket to enter.

Kyoto Imperial Palace requires reservation in advance.

If you still have time, you can arrange a train ride and river cruise in Arashiyama. The Arashiyama train is closed on Wednesdays.

No matter what you choose, foodies must visit: Nishiki Market!

Accommodation recommendation: It is best to choose one close to JR Kyoto Station, with convenient transportation and the bus terminal is also there.

By the way, after leaving JR Kyoto Station, there is a tourist ticket point on the left. You can buy one-day bus tickets and one-day subway tickets, and you can also get free Chinese bus maps, attraction maps, Shopping guide.

For shopping, there are drugstores near JR, but they are not recommended because they are more expensive in Kyoto than in Osaka. There are many specialty counters at Isetan next to the JR station. The ramen alley on the 10th floor and the dining on the 11th floor are both great!

Question 3: How to arrange a six-day self-guided tour in Kyoto, Japan? In 6 days, Keihanshin can go around for a while. The details are as follows for reference.

Day 1: Arrival

Day 2 (Kyoto): Kiyomizudera Temple - Sanenenzaka - Ninnienzaka - Ningning Road - Hachiban Shrine - Hanamikoji - Nishiki Market - Shinsaibashi Dinner/Shopping

Day 3 (Kyoto): Arashiyama Train - Bamboo Forest Trail - North Gate of Tenryuji Temple - Tofu, Koto Taro Ice Cream, Nakamuraya Croquette - Arashiden Footbath-Kinkakuji Temple

Day 4 (Nara): Kasuga Taisha Shrine-Nara Park-Nara National Museum-Todaiji Temple-Kofukuji Temple-Sarugi Pond-Nara City Street

Day 5 (Osaka): Osaka Castle Castle - Tsutenkaku - Umeda Sky Building Sky Garden

Day 6 (Osaka): Kuromon Market - Shinsaibashi - Return

Question 4: How many days would it be better to stay in Kyoto, Kobe and Nara? Nara is about 1 and 2 days.

Kobe is about 1 and 2 days.

I think a week in Kyoto is ok

p>

Question 5: Help: How to go from Osaka to Nara and Kyoto? Is it okay to go back and forth in one day? How long does it take to get there? Kyoto is very close to Osaka. It takes less than 20 minutes to take the Shinkansen from Shin-Oita Station. When going from Osaka to Nara, JR is not as convenient as Kintetsu. Take the Kintetsu Nara Line rapid express train from Osaka Namba Station to Kintetsu Nara Station in about an hour. As for whether you can make a round trip in one day, it depends on which attractions you want to visit after arriving in Kyoto or Nara. Generally, it’s not a problem.

Since we don’t know where you live in Osaka, the above times are calculated from the more convenient departure station. If you are far away from Shin-Osaka or Namba Station, you will need to use more time

Question 6: How much does it cost to travel to Japan? Staying there for a week in a hotel - about 30,000 yen

Meals + transportation + tickets - about 30,000 yen

Air tickets - about 2,480 yuan

< p> Visa - about 400 RMB (no deposit)

So excluding the relatively fixed air tickets, visa fees, and fluctuating shopping, all expenses in Japan only cost 60,000 yen for 9 days. According to the exchange rate at that time, it was about 3,700 yuan.

1. About visas

I chose a visa agency with the highest sales online. Since I had free travel to the United States before, no deposit was required, and I only needed to fill out a simple form. The application form and a copy of the household registration book are enough, and the visa will be issued within 7 days.

It was the first time for my companion to go abroad. He needed a certificate from his employer and paid a deposit of 50,000 yuan. The visa fee was 100 yuan cheaper than mine, and the visa was issued smoothly.

2. About the Internet

When traveling on a budget, you must say no to unnecessary expenses. Throughout the whole journey, I relied on printed mini-maps and itineraries to find hotels and attractions, and relied on my Japanese skills to ask people. It turns out that 70% of my talent for finding directions was acceptable, and the rest was basically solved by asking for directions.

3. About language

Japanese is very useful! English is also good! I am a novice in English and a little proficient in Japanese, and I finally found it very helpful and had a lot of interesting experiences.

English: Instructions for hotels, stations and scenic spots are applicable, as well as explanations of the Kyoto Imperial Palace! I booked an explanation in English (Kyoto Imperial Palace is the former residence of the emperor, equivalent to the Forbidden City in China. It is open for free, but reservation is required. The commentator will take you around, great value!), and I can listen Understand 60%, there are many interesting little details that you would not be able to understand if you don’t listen to the explanation.

Japanese: This is just like asking any aunt or uncle in China on the street. Most of them don’t speak English; even college students have to respond. So the most useful way to ask for directions, order food, and listen to station names is Japanese! 20 days before going there, I reviewed for half an hour every day on the subway. I memorized 50 sound pictures and some common words. It was enough for a chicken to speak with a duck! At least I know how to ask for directions, and I can understand some of the menus.

4. About booking a hotel

This time, the hotel budget was controlled at 450 per night, but I had a very good stay. How to book a cheap and favorite hotel is patience + luck .

The hotel was the first one I booked. Due to the uncertainty of air tickets and visas at that time, the first factor in booking a hotel was that there was no deposit.

1. For hotels (B&Bs) that you must stay in: Keep checking to see if there are any vacancies every day during the few days you stay. Because pure Japanese-style B&Bs generally only have three rooms, the probability of having a room available for several consecutive days is relatively low. Be sure to check it out for a few more days, and then decide on the itinerary for those days based on the B&B you have booked.

2. It is not specific. It is recommended to balance the price and transportation and choose a suitable hotel: choose the date of travel and choose the price you accept (I usually look at 7000~14000, and then choose Great deals, and then choose the ones you are interested in to compare. Great deals are special offers, usually discounts if you book early, which is very helpful for cheap hotels.

3. Choose a good hotel and book it. , confirm, if you finally decide to check in, it is recommended to check the Japanese page to learn about nearby stations. As for whether I need to print a confirmation letter and buy insurance, but in fact the hotel did not ask me to do so.

5. Regarding exchange. Foreign exchange (a must-have guide for economical travel)

Before going, there was a lot of feedback that some cash + UnionPay card is enough. UnionPay cards are converted directly according to the current exchange rate, and there is no handling fee (Visa is converted into U.S. dollars first, and then U.S. dollars (converted into RMB, and there is a handling fee), it is a good deal. However, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder and find cash convenient, so I exchanged nearly 200,000.

It turns out that it is really convenient to have Japanese currency. It's very developed, but most of the affordable stores that Japanese people visit don't have UnionPay, and you know the stores aimed at tourists.

We found cost-effective restaurants and drugstores, but they were unable to accept UnionPay, and discount hotels and B&Bs even stated that they only accept cash. So it is very, very important to change the Japanese currency! Of course, if you don’t mind the price, you can skip it if you like convenience.

PS. If the store you go to accepts UnionPay cards, there is a high probability that the price will be more expensive than other stores visited by locals.

Therefore, it is recommended to bring a little more Japanese yen. You can use cash to buy priced cosmeceuticals at affordable drugstores; use UnionPay cards to buy priced cosmeceuticals at airport duty-free shops.

6. About transportation (various tickets)

1. Icoca&Haruka package:

Great value, you can make an appointment online to save time, and reserve a one-way trip of 3030 Tickets must be purchased with your passport, return ticket, and reservation form. Icoca, the amount is 2000, of which there is a 500 deposit, and it takes 2...>>

Question 7: How many days does it take to travel to Kyoto and Hokkaido on your own in Japan? It depends on the season. The famous attractions in Kyoto are Kinkakuji Temple and Ginkakuji Temple. It is still a good place to see cherry blossoms in late March and early April. If you just want to go shopping, one day trip from Osaka is enough.

Hokkaido is relatively large and has many scenic spots. The filming locations for the movie If You Are the One are in eastern Hokkaido, and the transportation is not very convenient; the popular tourist attractions are in the west of Hokkaido, such as Sapporo, Noboribetsu (hot springs, volcanoes, bear farms), Lake Toya, Hakodate (one of the most beautiful night views in the world), and Otaru , Biei (the natural scenery is super beautiful, it is recommended to stay here for two nights and spend two days riding a bicycle to have fun), Furano (divided into upper, middle and lower, middle Furano is famous for its lavender and the transportation is very convenient), at least 8 days Well, it is recommended about 10 days.

Question 8: What is there to do in Honshu, Japan, and how many days are suitable for it? There are also many interesting places in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. Those who are interested can Baidu Japan’s Honshu Island Travel Guide

Question 9: How many days are suitable for a free trip to Kyoto and Osaka? Who else can you bring with you? I think five to seven days is enough. It's totally ok.

Osaka is the center of the Kansai region of Japan. In addition to Osaka itself, Kyoto, Kobe, and Nara are all within an hour's drive, and there are also places worth seeing.

< p> Question 10: Traveling to Japan in early April, choose three or four of Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara for 7 days? How many days each? It depends on the purpose of your trip. If you are shopping in shopping malls, 7 days in Tokyo is about the same.

If you want to visit historical sites, 2 days in Kyoto, 1 day in Nara, and 1 day in Osaka.

This is my first time here, just take a look. 3 days in Tokyo, 1 day in Kyoto, 2 days in Osaka, and 1 day in Nara.
