I have recommended cultural heritage online to everyone before, and you can find important sightseeing spots of cultural heritage level with one search. places, or to find collections of special artists, painters, etc. (see this article: Online encyclopedia of cultural heritage collections, one-click query makes travel more interesting), it must be very useful for people who like in-depth cultural travel. This article continues the last theme and introduces another very practical tool when preparing for travel, and it can dig out more popular attractions, making your trip suitable for all ages.

TripAdvisor is one of the world’s leading travel information websites. You can almost see TripAdvisor’s classic owl on all major hotel booking websites. However, in addition to being used as a reference for hotels, TripAdvisor also has other uses - Haohao Use TripAdvisor's attraction maps to start a new journey!

The "Sightseeing" page of the TripAdvisor website provides location search. Here, travelers can simply search for most attractions in a region by entering place names, because it includes well-known attractions and It is a landmark that receives less attention, so it can surprise people from time to time. (Click on the URL to enter: tripadvisor/Attractions)

It couldn’t be easier to use, just enter the location in the search field! Immediately a large number of locations will appear along with their photos.

In addition, TripAdvisor also supports multiple languages. If you understand Japanese, I suggest you do the same as me and use the Japanese interface when checking Japanese information. This way, you can directly understand the original text when you know the place names, saving you the trouble of not knowing how to speak it when you go to the scene. name, or an embarrassing question when asking for directions.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. If you click on the Chinese version, the information is still as complete. Some places are less popular, or when there is no Chinese translation, the English name will be displayed instead, so it should generally be readable. For example, the picture below is the statue of the loyal dog Hachiko in Higashi University, because there is no Chinese , so when displayed in English, the information is just as clear.

But that’s not the best! Because all landmarks on TripAdvisor can be directly viewed using the map search method, Magic Jolie recommends that you click on the map in the upper left corner of the screen to open a new page... In this way, you can search from your own Find suitable attractions in the hotel where you live or on your mobile route~ But to be honest, if you are too lazy to type, just go to this website that Jolie helped prepare: Map version of TripAdvisor. Click here, click in and use drag and drop on the map. This way, TripAdvisor can directly display local attractions, which saves a lot of trouble!

Many people who have just started self-guided travel often refer to too many other people’s experiences and insights, so their self-guided travel becomes a "self-guided tour itinerary", that is, "although it is self-guided travel" , but the places we visited were all fixed itineraries of the tour groups, and everything we saw were tourists.” Isn’t this a disappointment?

The focus of travel is to discover new things. This does not mean that you should not go to classic itineraries, but blindly following the same old path of your predecessors is really nothing new. Is Kaminarimon the only place to go to Asakusa? Why not go to Asakusa Hanayashiki Amusement Park, a place with memories of the legendary Showa era?

I specially wrote an article to introduce this method of collecting information from the first step. I hope it can be used as another tool for everyone to arrange tourist attractions, so that you will not always have to follow others. ~This method is especially suitable for travelers returning to old places, so you must try it.

Is there only Ghibli’s Mitaka Forest Museum in Mitaka? Is there anything new to see that no one else has discovered yet? Next time, don’t rely on the “must-dos” mentioned by fellow bloggers to decide your trip. Discover where you want to go on your own!
