Guide to free travel in Japan

China people's feelings for Japan are very complicated, but as a fresh petty bourgeoisie, Japan is indeed a very suitable country for traveling and has always been the first choice for China people to travel abroad! However, the traffic in Japan is very complicated. The following small series will introduce the Japanese traffic strategy. Come and have a look.

The difference between Narita and Haneda Narita Airport is the naritainternatioanl Airport in Japan.

Airport), located in Narita, Chiba Prefecture, kanto region, 68 kilometers away from downtown Tokyo. It is 57.5 kilometers away from the center of Tokyo, and it takes 40 to 50 minutes by bus.

There is also an airport in Tokyo called Haneda Airport. The difference between Haneda Airport and Narita is that Narita is far from the city, but it is bigger and mainly flies many international routes. Haneda is a little smaller, closer to Tokyo, and flies on international routes, but there may be more domestic routes. Narita Airport, Tokyo Haneda Airport, Osaka International Airport, Kansai International Airport and Central International Airport are uniformly divided into Class I airports.

When we arrived at the airport, it was actually very late, probably after 0/2 pm/kloc-,so many shops were closed, but it doesn't matter. If you want to visit, you can visit on your way back.

Rail transit (tram system) runs freely in Japan, and the most direct means of transportation must be rail transit extending in all directions! Rail transit is the most chaotic and helpless mode of transportation because there are many companies and complicated lines. In Japan, rail transit using electricity is collectively called trams. The main rail transit are:

1. Shinkansen

Simply put, Shinkansen is Japan's high-speed rail (the fastest ground transportation system in Japan at present) and the main means of transportation for long-distance intercity sports. But the Shinkansen is really, really expensive! The fare from Tokyo to Osaka is about 13620 (about 700 yuan soft sister currency, 100 yen ≈5 yuan RMB), and the journey takes about two and a half hours. So if it's not a cross-regional activity, you don't have to take the Shinkansen ~

2.JR Railway (Japan Railway)

Similar to domestic trains, they are run by the state.

Take Kansai as an example, JR-West operates in Kansai. JR train has four speeds: extremely urgent (the fastest, with the least stops), urgent, fast, and ordinary (the slowest speed at each stop). When traveling, you can try to choose the express train according to whether you stop at the destination station or not. JR trains are usually divided into two types of seats. Free seats can be taken for free, but you can only stand without seats; The designated seat is reserved, but you have to pay extra.

3. Private railway system

Private tram, that is, private railway. Like JR, private railways have three different speeds: extremely fast, fast and ordinary (the name of each private railway will be slightly different for different operators).

4. Subway

The subway is usually operated by the local municipal government.

Japan is a very caring country! Each subway line has its own unique color logo, and each station also has a special code, so as long as you remember the code of the destination station, you won't get on the wrong bus or miss the station because you don't know Katakana.

Second, in cities where rail transit is not densely distributed, such as Kyoto, public transport system is the most important mode of transportation.

Note 1. Japanese buses are different from domestic buses. Most of them get on from the back door and get off at the front door.

2. Take a bus in Japan. When you arrive at the station, remember to ring the bell in advance to remind the driver that you need to stop at the next stop. It is worth noting that the bus stop sign subtitles will not appear in other languages except Japanese, so be sure to find out the Japanese writing and pronunciation of the destination before going out. Moreover, the buses in Kansai are reported manually by drivers, which is particularly difficult to hear clearly. So get up at twelve o'clock when you get to the station, or you will easily miss the station!

Japanese buses only pay according to the distance they walk when they get off. They can give cash or use transportation tickets. The bus also provides the function of changing money, which is very intimate!

4. There are also some buses (such as buses in Wakayama county), and you need to get a certificate when you get on the bus. So when you get on the bus and see a box with vouchers, remember to press the button.
