Recommended place, itinerary, approximate consumption and matters needing attention for a week's trip to Japan in summer vacation.

Establish an idea, there is no best route, only the route that suits your heart.

What exactly do you want to see when you come to Japan? Mountain? Sea? Eat? Shopping? Four seasons? ACG？ Concerts, plays and so on?

It is impossible to take care of too many things in a trip. Usually two or three things are over.

For the five-day trip, each person should prepare at least 8000 yuan.

The more money, the better. If it's less than that, I'm afraid I'll ... go hungry or sleep in bridge opening? Personally, I am against extreme poverty.

Now, if I remember correctly, all the tourist visas in Japan are still given to the travel agency. At this time, it is necessary to find out where you belong. First of all, it is convenient for you to apply for a visa yourself (it is not impossible to cross regions, but it is difficult to cross regions). Secondly, this is directly related to the ticket issue ... whether Shenyang Consular District in Beijing and Qingdao in Dalian suggest flying to Tokyo, Shanghai and Guangzhou suggest flying to Osaka, or Xi and Chongqing.

Of course, this is just a suggestion. Air ticket prices are changing rapidly these days, and it depends on who is cheaper.

If it is not a small-scale activity, then JR Pass is better. In short, this thing is a tourist pass for foreigners. After buying it, you can take most rail transit vehicles with a license plate. I used it to complete the round trip from Osaka to Hakata in one day ... Hmm.

If you only plan to travel in Kanto/Kansai/China/Shikoku/Hokuriku/Hokkaido, there is no need to buy a JR pass. However, if your itinerary takes Honshu Island and Hokkaido into consideration, it is strongly recommended to buy a JR pass.

By the way, if you want to go to a concert/play/game ... you'd better get the tickets before you go.

Determine the place of travel

This step really depends on you. What exactly do you want to see? Do what? What to eat? Eating is very important to me. I'm so sorry ...

If you are not sure what you think, in addition to consulting gay friends, you can also refer to jnto website ↓

The website of the Tourism Bureau has everything from food, accommodation and shopping, and it can introduce local scenery by region, which should solve 80% of the problems. If there are still big problems, you can call directly for consultation.

After determining the specific travel location, book accommodation. If your free travel is staying in a hotel, skip it.

There are about three kinds of accommodation: Japanese hotels, foreign hotels (including business express hotels), family hotels and youth hotels.

My personal experience is that I live in a Japanese hotel (room) in a small place and an old place, and live in a new place in a new place. It is more affordable to go to small places, and big cities are the first choice.

As for the price .......... ……2w yen is basically a dividing line. 1w hotel is probably not as good as 5k express hotel. You can always find something you like if you look more. The bottom line of accommodation price is basically around 2000 yen (bed/honeycomb hotel), and the bottom price of old shops is generally around 17000. However, 90% of old shops and hotels are catering, and their cooking skills are quite high.

There are two points to note: guests who don't speak Japanese may ask you to pay a deposit; Say how many people live, and only a few people can live. That's easy to say. If there are many people, they will be repatriated directly.

Fly to Japan

Well, here you are. There are several important things to do now.

Go to the green window of the airport and stamp your JR pass. Book all the flights that can shift your focus of travel now! If you need to chip in, you'd better pay in cash. If you decide to go to Hokkaido, JR PASS can take the sleeper train only by paying the sleeper fee (I forgot ...). Tokyo-Sapporo is about 1w yen, but the ticket is tight, so it is best to get it directly at the green window when entering the country. The upper berth is more private+large space; There is room for luggage in the lower berth+activities are convenient, please choose by yourself. The better trains in my impression are カシォペァ, Big Dipper, Izumo and Seto.
