How to get to the hotel from the Japanese airport? How to book a hotel in Japan?

In Japan, there is another problem that people often encounter, that is, transportation or hotel reservation. Here are some tips for booking hotels and air tickets, as well as some common problems when going to Japan.

How to book air tickets?

In fact, the easiest way to book a plane ticket is to book the whole trip from a travel agency. This is basically once and for all. If you are free to travel and don't want to be bound by various constraints, you can only book your own air tickets. You can book air tickets directly through Ctrip or other websites. Of course, you can also book air tickets through the airlines' official website. And most domestic airlines have round-trip air tickets to Japan. But I personally suggest ANA(AllNiponAirline). Goodluck from Kimura Takuya thinks ANA is more reliable than other airlines. I have also eaten ANA several times. It's really reliable Because of the nature of my job, I have to travel frequently. What is the biggest headache for traveling by air? It's the meal on the plane. But now it's terrible (except first class, of course). The ANA plane meal is still very good, and there are sashimi. It's not new, but what else can you ask for on the plane? By the way, ANA is also a member of Star Alliance, but JAL is not. Maybe others don't care which alliance the airline belongs to. But for people like me who travel frequently, it is very necessary to choose a good airline. For example, my ticket to Japan this time was bought with air miles.

How to book a hotel?

Booking a hotel is similar to flying. The easiest way is to make a reservation through a travel agency. Of course, you can also order through various websites. Personally, I don't recommend Ctrip, a domestic general website, to go to foreign hotels. Because Ctrip's refresh rate is very slow, many times it seems that there is a room, but when you start booking, you will be prompted that there is no room. And when booking a room on Ctrip, you must book it some time in advance. For example, it is impossible to book a hotel for tomorrow today. So I recommend hotel.com more.

In Japanese, there are two ways to write hotel, but the meanings are not quite the same. One goes to the hotel, and the other is the hotel. A hotel is what we call a hotel. The hotel refers to the Japanese tatami hotel. But if you go to Tokyo, there are fewer such hotels. And mainly concentrated near Ueno and Asakusa. It is quite expensive. If you have a chance to go to Hakone-CHO or Kansai, you must stay in a hotel.

Personal advice:

Before booking a hotel, be sure to confirm how many people live in a room, because hotel reservations in Japan are charged by the head. Even for a double bed, the price for one person is different from that for two people. It's best not to take chances.

Check-in and check-out time: The general check-in time of Japanese hotels is 3 pm, and the check-out time is 1 1AM. Of course, check-in time varies from hotel to hotel. For example, the newcity Hotel in Shinjuku this year is 10AMcheckout. Therefore, it is recommended to leave your luggage in the hotel first, then go out for a trip and come back around 3 or 4 pm. /kloc-just come back after 0/0. If the check-out time exceeds, the room charge will be charged for one hour ranging from 1000-2000. It feels a bit uneconomical.

How to get to the hotel from the airport?

Take Tokyo as an example. Tokyo has two airports, Narita Airport and Haneda Airport. Narita Airport is located in Chiba Prefecture, so it is quite far from Tokyo. Narita Airport can reach the downtown area in three ways: bus, subway and taxi. I see many people writing articles about power. Personally, I think these people didn't know this used to be the world's first consumer city before going to Tokyo. If you have enough money, OK, no problem. If you are willing to pay a ticket from Shanghai to Tokyo and take a taxi from Narita Airport to downtown, please forget it. It costs about 2000 RMB from Narita Airport to downtown. If you are tired of running around by subway, the bus is the most practical choice. Take a bus from Narita Airport to Shinjuku Subway Station for 3 100 yen. This is still the price after the price increase. It used to be 3000 yen. Time is about 90 minutes. Of course, you can also take the express train from NEX to Tokyo, which will save a lot of time. Of course, Haneda is much closer. It takes about half an hour to get to Shinjuku.

I want to remind you that everyone should pay attention to the check-in time and check-out time from Japan to the hotel. From Japan to the hotel, you basically check in at 3 pm. If you have been to the hotel before, you can leave your luggage in the hotel, then go out and check in when you come back. Everyone must pay attention to the checkout time. In most hotels in Japan, check-out is 1 1AM. Of course, I have also met great hotels, such as the newcityhotel where I stayed this year, which is 10AMcheckout. If you are one hour late, you will have to pay 1000 yen for lost time.

Personally recommend public transportation. Of course, the bus time may be slower. But buses can go directly to many parts of the city. For example, Limujin bus can go directly to Shinjuku, which takes about 90 minutes. The fare is 3000 yen. It's also cheaper.

Ride method

The plane distribution of Narita Airport, and the route and method to the urban area;

You can see the ticket exit from the screenshot above. Find the place to buy tickets and just say where you want to go.

As for taxis, I'm sorry First of all, I highly recommend them. Another reason is that they are too expensive. It takes more than 1000 to take a taxi from Narita Airport to downtown. It's RMB, not Japanese yen. So I don't want everyone to take a taxi.

Don't panic when you come out of Narita Airport. Although there are few places to go after coming out, you can still look around. There are also quite clear signs all over Japan. No matter where you go, as long as you follow the direction indicated, 100% can't be wrong. So don't worry and don't be afraid. All the service staff can speak English. And there are many people who can speak Chinese.

Or do you only know a little about how to communicate with * * *?

This issue is the most worrying issue for the vast majority of Japanese people to travel freely to Japan. But I tell you, don't worry about this problem at all.

First, as a Japanese, traveling to China has inherent advantages. That is to say, there are more than 2000 Chinese characters in Japanese. And although we don't necessarily know how to read these Chinese characters, or what consciousness, at least we can understand them. It would be more perfect if you could write some traditional Chinese characters. Because only Chinese mainland in the world uses simplified Chinese. While shopping at Outlets, I chatted with my Australian friends next to me. He said that he would stay in Japan for another four months. Before speaking, he briefly studied Japanese. For him, China paper is killing him. We wouldn't have this problem at all.

Second, the English penetration rate in Japan is very high, especially in some tourist cities and big cities. For example, Tokyo. Although Japanese English sounds tangled. Can you guess what it means and what English word it is? Before Japanese pronunciation on the Internet, Kimura's travel notes introduced Japanese English. However, the English level of Japanese people is generally much higher than that of China people. Personal advice is to bring a pen and a small diary. If you don't know anything, just write it out. I'm confused about spoken English in Japan. I can write. Their reading and writing skills are quite good.

When I was chatting with the Japanese before, I asked, Japanese people always learn English like we used Chinese characters to mark English pronunciation when we were young, and 26 English letters have separate pronunciations in Japanese. This is the way the Japanese read English. So their pronunciation has been very strange. And this is how Li Yang teaches Crazy English. If you are studying, or superstitious about Li Yang's crazy English, and still want to remember and learn English there, please give up immediately. English is not spoken, but spoken.

Thirdly, there are many Chinese shopping guides in big shopping malls, electrical stores and drugstores in Japan. There are a large number of international students from China and some from China, who are working in Japan again. So don't worry about this problem at all. In yodobashicamera, you can see that everyone's armband is written with Chinese shopping guide. Another way is to look at the name tag. In many service industries in Japan, such as shopping streets and shopping malls, every employee wears a badge. Look at the name directly. If it is China's surname or first name, you don't need to hesitate. Just go directly to Chinese. It is worth noting that some surnames also exist in Japanese, such as Lin, which is pronounced Lin in Chinese and hayashi in Japanese.

Fourth, the international common language. Gestures, if it doesn't make sense, can draw strokes, basically everyone will understand.

Fifth, seek international assistance. Find someone to translate it for you. Don't think it's impossible. Although China people don't like helping others very much, it may be because everyone speaks the same language and comes from the same place. And China people don't like places with many people in China when they travel. I personally have nothing special. If anyone needs help, I will basically help. Then the Japanese help the French try on clothes, the Turks ask for directions, and the China people go through customs. Then the United States changed the boarding pass for Japan and checked the luggage. Buy tickets for Americans in Kyoto, and so on.

Personal advice:

You'd better bring a pen and notebook. You can copy down some common words. If you don't know, ask directly for words or place names. Such as Ueno Zoo. Because Ueno's pronunciation has nothing to do with Chinese. No one can understand. It doesn't matter if it's not enough. You can write it out. What about Ueno and the zoo? If you can't remember Zoo at once, just write _ _ in traditional Chinese. They all understand it, and then tell you how to get there in a little broken English.

Foreign currency exchange

When you go abroad, you must bring enough local currency. Since it's fun, I always think it will make me feel at ease. Personally, I suggest not to exchange too much yen. I usually exchange about 60000 yen. I won't. Based on the hornet's nest question and answer, many people will answer so many questions, so I will describe them in detail here.

First, it's best to exchange foreign currency at home, and just go to the Bank of China. Besides, the Bank of China will give you some change in many cases. The experience is not 5000 RMB yen, but 60000 yen. Because the minimum monetary unit of Japanese yen in China banking system is 1000 yen, that is to say, if you have 999 yen in your account, you can't take it out or change it into RMB.

Second, unlike Hong Kong, brands can be exchanged everywhere in Japan. In some places, there are even more places to exchange money than to buy things. Japan's exchange rate will be lower.

Third, UnionPay cards can be used in most low-end shops in Japan. Personally, I suggest that UnionPay cards should be used as far as possible for those over 5,000 yen. There is no handling fee. And many places spend more than 10000 yen, so you can enjoy a 15% discount with China UnionPay card.

I don't know how it works, but there is a hole between 50 yen and 5 yen.

Personal advice:

Actually, there is no need to change too much yen. Personally, I think 50000 ~ 10000 is enough, and it may not be used up. I heard too many such words in the airport duty-free shop. Hey, hey, help me buy another xxxxxxx. I want to spend these tens of thousands of dollars on me. As I said before, UnionPay cards can be used directly in many places. So there is no need to change too much yen.

Ride method

The subway in Japan is notoriously complex and developed.

Looking at it, are you dizzy? What is even more dizzy is that Japan is not like our great motherland. A subway ticket can take you around the imperial city. But Japan is different. Japan's transportation is divided into JR (Japan Railway), private railways, subways and trams. Although many stations are transfer stations, you have to leave the station, buy new tickets and re-enter the station.

The subway map above does not need to be printed, and the hotel can take it at will. And there are many materials and seasonal tourist routes to choose from. If you are going there, you'd better ask the front desk. The front desk will draw it for you with a pen. And when you arrive at the hotel, remember that the hotel will give you a map near the hotel. These include the nearest shops, classics and subway stations (tram station /JR). Very convenient. If there is a shopping mall near the hotel, the hotel will also provide some coupons and the like. Of course, it also includes many food stamps.

From the map above, it is difficult to see that this station is a transit station. If you take a map from the hotel, there is also information about each station on each line behind the map. By comparing the detailed information of each station, we can compare the transfer situation there. Very convenient.

As for maps, in China, if you go to a large classic, such as Zhangjiajie, you have to spend money to buy a map. But all the classics in Japan have free maps.

Many people are scared after reading the dense maps on it. In fact, after buying it once, you will find it more convenient to buy tickets in Japan than in China. Because many places in China only accept coins and some places only accept paper money, the denomination of paper money is still limited. And even if there is no limit, buy a subway ticket and give you dozens of coins. Follow me.

Find out where you are, where you want to go, how much it will cost, and where to change. There will be two prices on the Japanese subway station. Remember to buy the expensive one, and the cheap one is the child's fare. The green ones are adult tickets.

Then on the vending machine, first select the number of people. Take me for example, because I always go out to play alone. Select a person's button first, and the button will light up after pressing it. Then select a button on the left side of the screen, select cut (きっぷ) to buy tickets, and then select the line you want to take on the whole screen, such as the Du Ying line in the above picture, and it will appear on the screen. At present, all the fares from all the places you can reach from your station. Then choose 2 10 yen and put the money in the slot. If you still don't know, you can stand by and see how others buy it.

Just pick up the ticket and enter the station. There is no round hole in the picture before entering the station.

How to make a travel plan for free travel

Of course, this is mainly for friends who are free to travel. Of course, friends in tour groups do not have this problem. Just follow the guide. Pay attention to what you want to buy and where to buy it. If you don't know anything, just ask the tour guide.

But for free travel, besides air tickets and hotels, friends are most concerned about making travel plans. Where to go, how long to go, what is the budget, and so on.

According to my experience of traveling freely in Japan for many times, it is necessary to check the raiders online first. There are many excellent introductions on websites such as hornet's nest and backpackers, and many of them are authoritative. My personal suggestion is to look for strategies online, mainly to customize scenic spots. For example, if you go to Kyoto, all the strategies will talk about going to Lanshan, Kiyomizu Temple, Kinkaku Temple, Yinta Temple, Nara and other places. Because online raiders are summarized by individuals according to their own interests, different people in many places stay for different times.

Personal advice:

After determining a good place on the internet, don't think about it The main plan is how many days are needed and how much is the budget. Then buy the plane ticket directly. After going directly to Japan, first find a bookstore and buy a book from Kyoto to travel. Although it is Japanese, I can probably understand it. There is the most detailed recommended route. Like Jingu Temple. If you go to Jingu Temple, you can arrange more than half a day to visit Jingu Temple, Long 'an Temple, Ningna Temple, Kitano Tianman Palace and Ping 'an Shrine. So is Kiyomizu Temple. These travel books also contain traffic maps, including subway, bus lines and maps near tourist attractions. There are big books and pocket versions, which are very convenient to carry around. Find a good place according to the bus route. Because some places need to change trains.

When you check in at the hotel, try to ask the front desk for some information and maps. There are some guidebooks and other materials near the front desk. You can read at will. Spend an hour or so in the evening studying the plan for the next day. Because many times planning depends on the weather. Especially when you go to see cherry blossoms in April. Many hotels also have coupons. When I used to live in Osaka, I was opposite Shinsaibashi and Maruya Shopping Mall, so I gave some coupons and discount coupons for Maruya in the hotel room.

When is the best time to visit Japan? I have answered similar questions before. It's good to go to Japan at any time, and you can see different scenery. But I don't recommend you to go in May or June at all. Because it was the rainy season in Japan. The weather is not very good. Be sure to take an umbrella. It's probably sunny when you go out, and it's raining cats and dogs when you get out of several subway stations. So the umbrella must be carried with you. This is true even in April when cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Tell me about the approximate time to enjoy cherry blossoms and red leaves.

When enjoying cherry blossoms, the flowering period of cherry blossoms is very long, from bud to withering, which is basically a little more than a week. This time is basically at the end of March and the beginning of April.

Red leaves, which are relatively longer than cherry blossoms. The arrival time of the red leaves is about the middle and late of 1 1 month.

Summer festival, summer festival is usually in July and August, the specific time is different every year, and the time of arrival in different places is also different. There are famous fireworks festivals and various sacrificial activities here.

Skiing, in Hokkaido, of course.
