Japan's transportation strategy

You can also learn about Japan's transportation strategy. Now Bian Xiao will tell you this strategy. Now let's go and see how to get a ride in Japan. Now let's go and have a look.

Airport to hotel

In Japan, most passengers enter from these airports: Narita Airport, Haneda Airport, Central International Airport and Kansai International Airport.

Narita Airport: Japan's most important international airport, the first stop for many people to reach Japan, and also the international gateway to Kanto.

Narita Airport has two terminals. You can check the airlines in each terminal on official website to find out which terminal you have arrived at, which will help you get into Tokyo by means of transportation. (official website: www.narita-airport.jp

There are three ways to get from Narita Airport to Tokyo: Jingcheng Electric Railway, JR and Bus.

(1 Jingcheng electric railway has a variety of options, and the price is higher. It takes about 45 minutes for a liner to go one way, and the cheapest cost express in Beijing is 2470 yen, and it takes about 80 minutes for 1030 yen to go one way. The train arrived at the airport in the order of Terminal 2 and then Terminal 1. It was just the opposite when I went to Tokyo.

(2JR is the most expensive Narita Express, about 1 hour, 3220 yen. The local train has an express airport Narita, 1.5 hours, 1.320 yen.

The above two kinds of operation time should be well grasped. Compared with the bus, the operation ends earlier, and these two kinds are inconvenient for people with big and heavy boxes, because they need to transfer and need to take the boxes up and down the stairs. If you need to take it, you can go to official website for details.

(3) Airport bus

I arrived in the evening when I went to Japan before. At that time, I took my luggage, filled out the immigration form and passed the border inspection. It's past ten. Before I went to Japan, I made clear the name, frequency and fare of the bus I needed to take.

These two kinds of buses are more suitable for going to Tokyo: Beijing bus and Beijing bus. * * * Same destination: Tokyo Station and Ginza Station.

Boarding place:

1 Terminal (first floor, exit 3/KLOC-0)

Terminal 2 (Exit 2 on the first floor or 19)

Terminal 3 (first floor, exit 1

Just buy a ticket at the station before you get on the bus.

It is suggested to write down the name of the bus you need to take and where to get off in traditional Chinese characters, which is very convenient when asking for directions and buying tickets to get on the bus. Because Japanese English is really ... you know. ...

Haneda airport

Haneda Airport official website:

www.haneda-airport.jp

Haneda Airport has three stations, Haneda Airport is an international terminal, and Haneda Airport 1 Building and Haneda Airport Building 2 are domestic terminals.

(1 Tokyo monorail can be transferred at Hamamatsumachi and JR Yamanote Line.

(2) Beijing Express Railway can go directly to JR Shinagawa Station, the most important transfer station in Tokyo.

(3) There are many bus routes to Tokyo.

Central international airport

The shopping area of the Central International Airport is built like a small town, and the shops are decorated like traditional shops. You can also wash hot springs at the airport and watch planes take off and land on the open platform. If I remember correctly, there is an exit nearby.

Nagoya is closest to the airport, and Nagoya people also like to go to the airport when they don't need to fly out and have a holiday.

Official website: www.centrair.jp

From the airport to Nagoya, you need to take the airport line of Nagoya Railway. There are many different models. See www.meitetsu.co.jp for details.

kansai international airport

Located in the south of Osaka, it goes to Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe and Nara, and generally enters from this airport.

Compared with Narita Airport, this airport has few people but complete facilities.

Official website: www.kansai-airport.or.jp

(1 If you take JR, you can choose the express train (express train) or the Kansai Express of the express train.

_ _ If you take the express train to Kyoto, you can buy a coupon of 2000 yen 1 day provided by JR West Japan for foreign tourists. Very cost-effective!

(2 Nanhai Electric Railway is the most cost-effective choice between the airport and downtown Osaka. Buy a coupon of 1000 yen, including subway tickets from Nanpu to other parts of Osaka.

(3) If the luggage is very big, it is still recommended to take the airport bus. See airport traffic official website: www.kate.co.jp for details.

It should be noted that you should have some 1000 yen in cash, because most buses are paid by suica card (watermelon card or cash).

Do I need to buy JRpass?

What is JRpass?

(1 Japan Railway Pass) (JRPASS is provided by six companies under JR Group * * * and is specially prepared for foreign tourists. It can only be sold in designated travel agencies outside Japan and cannot be purchased in Japan.

After arriving in Japan, I will exchange my ticket and my passport for my travel pass at JR Station or JR Travel Service Center at the airport. Japan Railway Pass holders can take all lines of JR Group, Shinkansen Nozomi Hope and Mizuho (including free seats, express, express and local trains (some trains cannot be used).

(2) The place of purchase is the following JR designated stores and their agents:

JTB, Japan Tourism, Kintetsu International, ToptourCorporation, Japan Airlines (only sold to passengers on JAL flights, ANA (only sold to passengers on ANA flights, JALPAK and its agents).

(3) There are two kinds of railway passes in Japan, green cars and ordinary cars. These two passes are divided into seven days, 14 days and 2 1 day. Scope of application of various passes Please read the scope of application of Japan Railway Pass.

limit

You can take the full line and Shinkansen of JR Group [but hope (Nozomi, Mizuho (including non-reserved seats)), express, express, ordinary train and BRT (some trains are not available).

You can also take the Tokyo monorail. ※.

You can take the Aomori Railway [between Aomori and Hachikuni] (however, when you take the local and express trains, you can only pass the stations between Hachikuni and Aomori, between Aomori and Shinbei, and between Hachikuni and Shinbei. Except Aomori, Nobuyoshi and Bagong, when getting off at other stations of Aomori Railway in this section, it does not belong to the scope of use. ※.

You can take IR Ishikawa (Ishikawa Railway (between Kanazawa and Tsunami) (but only local and express trains, you can take it after these two stops). Except Kanazawa and Tsunami, other stations of IR Ishikawa Railway in this section and outside this section do not belong to the scope of use. ※.

You can take AinokazeToyamaRailway (between Toyama and Gorkon) [However, when you pass these two stations, you can only take the ordinary train. Except Toyama and Gorkon, when getting off at other stations of Toyama Railway (Japanese Roman word is AinokazeToyamaRailway), it is not within the scope of use. ※. 〕

ticket price

You figure out how much each trip will cost, and then add it up.

This application can help you.

Based on the above information, I personally feel that it is not cost-effective to buy JRpass. Unless you have to take the Shinkansen more than three times. First of all, it has many restrictions, and many trains and buses can't take it! Most importantly, in Japan, unless you need to fly to Hokkaido, you can basically take the Shinkansen (the fastest and higher price, JR line or express train) in other places. Taking the Shinkansen means taking Hope Nozomi, otherwise, it will take three hours to get to Kyoto. I hope it takes 2 hours 15 minutes to get to Kyoto. But! But! But! With such an expensive ticket as JRpass, you can't hope _ _ Time is money _ _ Maybe you will feel that the time difference is not big, but the comfort of the car is different from the actual time spent in it.

Secondly, the cheapest is the ordinary suitcase with a seven-day ticket, which costs nearly 30,000 yen, or about RMB 1.800 yuan. Tickets are expensive!

It's quite a long distance from Tokyo to Kyoto. The expected fare ticket is 82 10 yen (free seats, you need to buy another ticket of 5500 yen for designated seats. The ticket price is the same, and the designated seat is 5 190 yen.

From Tokyo to Osaka, I hope it's 8750 yen, and I need to buy another 5500 yen ticket for the designated seat.

Get off from Tokyo to Kyushu (Kokura Station, the fare of Hope 13 180 yen, and the designated seat is 8930 yen.

I chose the Hope, which is relatively far from the Shinkansen and the fare is the most expensive. As you can see, you need to take Hope three times with the most expensive fare, and the distance to Osaka, Kyoto and Kyushu can only reach the basic fare.

However, JRpass can't get hope, and you need to pay more to get it.

Third, the purchase process is cumbersome, and it is necessary to specify exchange points, which have business hours.

Finally, JRpass is also restricted in the city. You can only take the JR subway line and the bus operated by JR, but you can't take the private railway (private enterprise subway, subway, bus).

Traveling in the city, it is the most convenient to take the Du Ying subway, because the Du Ying subway contains many stations and many lines, the fares are reasonable, and single-day tickets are sold.

After personal comprehensive analysis, I don't think it is necessary to buy JRpass. After comprehensive analysis and calculation, if you are worth the fare, you can buy it.

_ Is it more cost-effective to buy a one-day ticket?

(1 Japan's traffic situation: In different cities, there are different transportation companies, both state-owned and private. Private enterprises are also divided into several private enterprises.

Subway systems of different companies need to get in and out of the station again when changing. When entering the station, you need to buy tickets at the automatic ticket vending machine of the corresponding company before entering the station.

So after buying a ticket, you must make sure you don't go to the wrong station, don't leave the station when you change at the same company, and buy a ticket again when you leave the station. Different companies need to transfer out of the station.

(2) What is a one-day ticket:

Traffic cards are mainly divided into two categories:

1. The first type is prepaid cards, similar to domestic transportation cards and Octopus cards in Hong Kong. Can be used in buses, subways, JR, convenience stores, etc. , a wide range of use but no discount. The representative of this kind of card is suica card (commonly known as watermelon card and pasmo card). There will be a handling fee for not using the back card for a long time. Of course, you can also take it back to China and continue to use it in Japan next time;

2. The second type is the pass card, which can be used unlimited times on designated vehicles within a certain period of time, such as the one-day or multi-day pass card of Du Ying subway (metro and British Group subway, JRpass, etc.). ).

One-day tickets can be purchased at convenience stores or stations and used on the same day.

(3) As I mentioned earlier, after booking a hotel, we should refine the itinerary, specifically where to go in a day and what means of transportation to take.

Doing so helps to calculate the transportation cost of one day, so as to choose whether to buy a one-day ticket.

For example: Tokyo 20 16.6.25.

Ginza Station Hotel departs from Ueno Park in Roppongi Akihabara and returns to the hotel.

Ginza Station to Ueno Park: 165 yen

Ueno Park to Akihabara: 165 yen

Akihabara to Roppongi: 328 yen

Roppongi to the hotel: 165 yen

The fare is 823 yen.

There are four kinds of rail transit in downtown Tokyo: JR railway, METRO subway, Du Ying subway and private railway.

JR Railway is the oldest and longest state-run railway in Japan, from downtown Tokyo to major cities in East Japan, most of which are on the ground. For example, JR Yamanote Line, JR Central Line and JR Wubin Line.

Subway (9 subway lines and Du Ying subway line) (4 subway lines in Tokyo, with good facilities, are basically underground. Such as Hibiya Line, ginza line Line, Edo Line and Shinjuku Line.

Private railways, as the name implies, are private railways, which are different from the above-mentioned companies, both underground and on the ground. Such as Lily Seagull Line, Jingwangjingtou Line and East-West Horizontal Line.

According to this form, you can decide whether to buy a one-day ticket.

In Osaka, Kyoto and Nagoya, different places have different single-day tickets. For details, please consult the station service staff when traveling online or locally. Then use my method to calculate.

(4 benefits of one-day ticket (for reference only) Take Tokyo as an example.

When I was in Tokyo, I bought a one-day pass for Tokyo subway and Du Ying subway.

Because in the capital, there are enough subways in Du Ying, covering the whole city.

Tell me the advantages of this one-day ticket:

1. Tokyo Metro and Du Ying Metro can reach anywhere in Tokyo, which is very convenient and takes only a short time. You can use a one-day ticket to take the Tokyo subway and Du Ying subway at the same time, and you don't need to find any subway to use this ticket.

2. Tokyo Metro and Du Ying Metro can easily see the subway entrance in every place, which is convenient for you to take after visiting the scenic spots.

With a one-day ticket, you can sit for countless times. In case you get into the wicket and want to come out, you can use a one-day ticket, not afraid of making mistakes. It's safer than buying a ticket from anywhere.

4. Save the trouble of buying tickets. Although you can buy tickets at the automatic ticket vending machine, you have to buy tickets every time, and you have to risk buying the wrong ticket. It is really troublesome!

(5) What should I do if I buy a one-day ticket and need to take a ride that is not within the scope of the one-day ticket?

You can buy another SUICA or PASMO card. With these two cards, all subways can swipe their cards freely without buying tickets.

These two cards can also be used in convenience stores.

Just go to the station or some convenience stores to recharge.

However, it is not cost-effective to use only one of these two cards instead of a one-day pass to take the subway. It just saves the trouble of buying tickets. How much is a trip?

Off topic, I bought a suica card and recharged it with 5000 yen.

Every day in Tokyo, I bought a one-day ticket for Tokyo subway and Du Ying subway, because it was more cost-effective for us after calculation.

I only used the suica card once in Tokyo.

Later, I went to Kyoto. Because of the hotel's geographical location, it is not convenient to take a bus (the main means of transportation in Kyoto is a bus, so I didn't buy a bus ticket for 500 yen, but used a suica card. I don't use it many times. Basically, I walk all the way to the next scenic spot.

Kyoto takes JR to Osaka, using the suica card.

When I was in Osaka, I didn't take many trips (three trips a day at most), and I didn't buy a one-day subway ticket of 800 yen. It's also a suica card.

Later, the money from suica Carido went to a convenience store to spend.

Although so much money was collected, most of it was used to buy water and take it to convenience stores to buy things and swipe cards.

So I bought a one-day ticket, and the suica card is better as a backup ~ I don't need to recharge so much money.

However, if you take the bus more frequently in Kyoto and the subway more frequently in Osaka, you need to recharge if you want to use the suica card.

In fact, all the above are just for reference. You still have to figure out how much you spent on local transportation, and then decide whether to buy a one-day ticket.

Tool for calculation: multiply by the APP in the replacement case.

_ Cross-border traffic

(Tokyo to Kyoto Osaka Hokkaido 1.

Shinkansen or plane

The plane needs security check in advance, which is very troublesome. In fact, the Shinkansen hope is ok. Go to Tokyo Station and Shinagawa Station 40 minutes in advance to buy Shinkansen tickets, and then buy and leave. That is, you can buy it yourself on the machine or at the counter. You need a credit card to buy on the machine, and you can speak a little Japanese. If you buy it at the counter, you can write it out (traditional Chinese characters are given to the staff, it is not easy to make mistakes, you can use cash. If it's a bus, just ... dream on. It's not necessary unless you want to play there all the time.

(2 Kyoto to Osaka

There are three options from Kyoto to Osaka.

1, JRharuka (purchased at Kyoto station)

It's time-saving, ten minutes, that is, buying and leaving, which is more expensive among the three.

A comfortable and smooth car.

2. Ordinary subway

It is inconvenient to transfer to the subway, which is relatively cheap, about 35 minutes.

3. Bus

It takes the most time, but you can enjoy the scenery without moving anything in the car.

Kyoto to Kyushu or Hokkaido

1, Shinkansen (recommended (just buy it at Kyoto station)

2. Aircraft

You have to fly to Kansai International Airport. Kyoto of Kansai International Airport is quite far away. It takes 1 hour and 40 minutes to get JRharuka. Might as well take the shinkansen. It is recommended to buy designated seats when taking the Shinkansen, so as not to be afraid of no seats all the way. Sometimes when there are many people, people who buy free seats will have no seats if they are unlucky.

_ Return flow

After coming back from Tokyo, some hotels have hotel buses that can go directly to the airport.

If not, you can ask the front desk staff about the airport bus, which is more convenient for fairies with more luggage. Of course, JR and the electric railway can also be used, but it is more troublesome to sit at a special station.

(2) Kyoto to the airport

1. You can choose to take a bus from Kyoto to Kansai International Airport, which takes three hours and requires an appointment for one morning.

2, JRharuka, saving time and effort about one hour and forty minutes.
