If you want to visit Japan in depth, what are the unpopular local attractions that you must visit?

The snow scene in Gifu Prefecture is not limited to Hokkaido.

In Gifu County, there is a fairy tale town-Shirakawa Township, a world cultural heritage, super cheap and delicious beef with beef, and Aofeiqing Hot Spring Township, where you can see the secret of snow in the open-air hot springs ... This is a place where tour groups don't come. The beauty here also tells you that snow, hot springs, food and towns are not limited to Hokkaido.

1, the world cultural heritage fairyland town of Shirakawa Township.

Baichuan town

Shirakawa Township is rated as a world cultural heritage because of its unique ancient culture of villages and settlements. The annual lighting activity in the town is also known as one of the three secrets of Japan in this snowy winter. Until now, the village still retains the ancient way of cooperation, neighbors help each other build houses, and the village has always avoided making itself too commercialized. The dream lighting ceremony only lasts seven nights a year.

Ps: The lighting ceremony in winter is the peak season in the town. You need to book a room six months in advance. However, Shirakawa Township has different beauty all year round. It is a great experience to enjoy cherry blossoms in spring and red leaves in autumn.

2. Xinsuigao Hot Spring, the secret hot spring in the snowy mountain cliff.

Xinsuigao hot spring

Gifu county is rich in hot spring resources, and Xinsuigao hot spring is one of the hot springs in Aofeiqiu, Gifu. Unlike the hot spring town where hot spring hotels are concentrated, this place is scattered in the valley. Maybe you have soaked in many hot springs, but you will still be surprised by the hot springs with high hot springs. The super-large open-air hot spring pool, with high cliffs on one side and gurgling streams on the other, looks like a high snow-capped mountain, which is indescribably beautiful.

3, MINO, through the traditional land of paper.

MINO

Paper-making has been very popular in MINO City, Gifu County since the Nara era. MINO is famous for its lanterns, umbrellas and fans. Visiting Meinong's well-preserved ancient streets and finding some favorite ancient paper is one of the experiences that can't be missed in experiencing Japanese traditional culture. There are many craftsmen here, and you can feel their dedication and dedication from each work. And because it has not been over-developed, the stores are super kind and gentle.

4, flying beef, and cattle are not just Kobe.

Feiqiu beef

When it comes to the food in Gifu County, the first thing I have to say is the flying beef. It is as famous as Kobe Cattle and Matsuzaka Cattle, but it is hard to eat outside Japan. When the fatigue of wandering in a day is exhausted by hot springs, it is really very happy to enjoy a big meal of flying beef.

In the mangrove virgin forest in the north of Amami Island, you can experience kayaking sightseeing here, just like being in a tropical rain forest.

Hakone-CHO is not the only hot spring in Nagano Prefecture.

When you come to Japan, the most important experience is to soak in hot springs. Most tourists will choose to soak in hot springs in Hakone-CHO, a suburb of Tokyo, but if you want to see the wonderful scenery of monkeys soaking in hot springs, you must come to Nagano! The traffic here is also very convenient. You can go from Tokyo. In addition to watching snow monkeys, there are ski resorts and hot springs in Shiga Plateau, which are very suitable for holidays.

The ancient temple in Kyoto is not just a shrine.

Compared with Tokyo, Osaka and Hokkaido, Kyoto is a city where you can calm down and savor. The most beautiful season in Kyoto is when the red maple is dyed in autumn, which is more beautiful than the cherry blossoms in early spring. Compared with the niche in previous years, Kyoto is really not a niche now, but in addition to the temple attractions on standard postcards such as Kinkaku Temple and Kiyomizu Temple, there are many small temples full of Zen in Kyoto that are worth stopping to find out.

1, Dongfu Temple, who is traveling in the painting world?

Dongfusi

Dongfu Temple is located at the foot of the moon wheel in Dongshan, Kyoto. Every year in late autumn, red leaves dye the valley, showing the seclusion of the ancient temple of Zen forest. It is said that it is the first place to enjoy maple in Kyoto. There are the oldest three doors in Japan, and there is a long and narrow maple corridor with thousands of maple trees on both sides. Dongfu Temple wins on a large scale, and there are countless hidden temples around it, which is really worth visiting.

2. The most beautiful red leaf courtyard.

Hogonen temple

Hogonin Temple is one of the branches of Tianlong Temple and is known as the most beautiful courtyard in the red leaf season in Kyoto. The view of moss against the red leaves is amazing. The red leaves under the lights at night are also a must-see, full of romance. Next to the courtyard is Tianlong Temple, a world heritage site, which is an excellent place to see the red leaves in Lanshan. In the morning, you can walk up the red leaf steps that the monk didn't clean, and the scenery is excellent.

3. Kenneji, a quiet temple forgotten by tourists.

Kennigi

Kenneji is at the end of Huajian Road. Many tourists think it is not a scenic spot, so it is very quiet. But in fact, Jianning Temple is also one of the oldest temples in Kyoto, and its courtyard is not inferior. It's really comfortable to sit here, have a cup of matcha and look up at the national treasure Yunlong map.

The latest visa policy, visa relaxation.

Many media on the Internet say that the latest Japanese visa relaxation policy from 19 is actually just a "local visa", but after careful study, we will find that this visa has lowered many thresholds and has many benefits for China people to travel freely.

1. Multiple entry visa for business visitors and cultural exchanges.

First of all, the requirement of white passport was cancelled, and it was no problem to go to Japan for the first time. Secondly, the guarantee documents such as "body insurance" have been cancelled, which means you don't have to ask the Japanese to give you a "personal guarantee". In other words, it will be more convenient to use a business visa for business communication and business inspection.

2. Individual tourists have entered Okinawa and three northeastern counties for many times.

The conditions for "individuals and family members with sufficient economic strength" were relaxed and changed to "individuals and family members with certain economic strength who have obtained short-term visas in Japan in the past three years". In addition, family members were not allowed to go to Japan alone before, but now they can go to Japan alone without the company of the applicant.

Simply put, as long as I have a certain income and have been to Japan before, I can happily take my parents to get multiple round-trip visas, and the parent-child tour can start at any time! If my parents want to, they can also travel alone.

3. Multiple entry visas for high-income individuals.

This is a newly established visa type: "5-year multiple-entry sightseeing visa". For high-income people who travel to Japan for the first time, the previous restriction of "entry in Okinawa, Fukushima and other places" will be changed to a five-year multiple-entry visa without geographical restrictions.

Finally, don't think it is too difficult and too far to go to Japan for free travel. If you really yearn for it, then summon up courage to start! I believe you will have a unique experience in Japan!
