In early summer, I made an appointment with Niigata Jun (1)-2018.5.19-5.25, Japan.

In late May, I had the opportunity to go to Japan. For Japan, the most frequently heard are the bustling ski resorts in Tokyo and Osaka, Kyoto, Hokkaido and Okinawa, all of which copy the buildings of the Tang Dynasty, but the name Niigata has never been heard. When searching for Niigata on the Internet, there was little information. Except for mentioning this name because of Kawabata Yasunari's Snow Country, we went to Niigata with curiosity about this unknown place.

Transportation:

The city mainly relies on walking.

There are mainly buses or small trains outside the city.

Fly directly from Shanghai to Niigata by China Eastern Airlines. Depart at 9: 25 am and arrive in Niigata at 13: 00 local time (one hour faster than Beijing time). The whole journey takes 2 hours and 35 minutes. Niigata Airport is relatively small, and there is a poster "Welcome to Niigata" at the baggage claim area. Welcome to Yunchunhua, Guding.

After leaving the airport, you can take a bus to Niigata Station. The adult fare is 465,438+00 yen, and the journey takes about 20 minutes. There are broadcast introductions in Japanese, English, Korean and Chinese on the bus. The weather from Nanjing was 35 degrees, and Niigata was 9- 16 degrees, so it was a little uncomfortable for a while. I took out the warm clothes I had brought in advance and put them on temporarily. I got on the bus and found that there were no tall buildings along the way. The rain wet the ground and the road was very clean.

When I arrived at Niigata Station, the hotel I booked was Crowne Plaza Niigata All Nippon Airways. Google Maps found that it was not too far, so I walked all the way and passed three traffic lights before I checked into the hotel.

Before I left, my father asked me to figure out what to buy, and then I went to buy it. I replied that I was not interested in buying in buy buy, but only interested in eating and playing. But when I first arrived in Niigata, the temperature was too high for me. I regretted not wearing sneakers, so I googled the shopping plaza immediately after I settled in the hotel. Bandai business circle is about 500 meters away from the hotel, so I went to Bandai.

Wandai commercial city

Bandai Commercial City is a bustling shopping center in Niigata City. Everyone likes shopping in Japan. This is a place where department stores, fashion shopping, food centers, cinemas and other facilities gather. Isetan department store and Lovera shopping mall are all here.

The pattern of shopping malls is similar to that in China. The first floor is a supermarket, and all kinds of bread, sushi and other foods are sold at the door of the first floor.

The clothes on the second floor are similar to those of Muji and Uniqlo, and tend to be cotton and linen. In addition to sports brands, many shoes are cloth shoes.

At the stairs on the third floor is Miyazaki Hayao Animation Kingdom, and at the door is the classic model of Totoro "Before the Lotus of the Seven Kingdoms Mountain". All the objects in it appear in Miyazaki Hayao's animation. This is a paradise for children. She has been wandering around happily. Children in Spirited Away like Kaonashi riddles, so they have to buy some to go home. After spending 1 hours in it, the child was forcibly taken away, and a few small objects that she liked were picked out: Kaonashi, my neighbor totoro, Kiki, a talkative witch, Kiki, a black cat, Ponyo, Jin Yuji on the cliff, and Princess Ghost.

There are all kinds of shoes in the main building, and the salesman reminded me that I can be tax-free with my passport. I changed a pair of sports shoes and finally felt much more comfortable.

Later, after leaving the mall, the child insisted on eating French fries. I protested that it was invalid and took her to eat French fries and chicken nuggets.

Look at the sky, it's still early. Before I found my missing dolphin bone Lamian Noodles, I went to Niigata Railway Station and found a small restaurant to eat.

However, the biggest problem is that my English is not good enough, and the English of most local residents is even worse than mine. Several families have told me that there is a "pull", but there is no "とんこつラーメンンンンンンンンンンンンン"

Later, I casually went to an open restaurant and ate some Japanese sashimi and grilled fish, as well as cherry sake brewed by the store.

At that time, there were two customers in the store, and an uncle kept talking to me. I learned intermittently from the translated app abroad that he said some local delicious food, but I really didn't understand the rest.

The store specially went to the door to pick out some cherries for the children.

After coming out of izakaya and walking back to the hotel, we soon fell asleep after a hard day's work.

The next day, after the rain cleared, I checked the map and found that Niigata City was small and all the scenic spots could be reached on foot. So I walked to Bandai Bridge and passed Niigata Daily Building and the parking lot with green plants on each floor.

In Niigata, there are few tall buildings. As long as you see the building you know, you will know where you are.

Niigata Daily Building is a multi-functional composite building based on the shape of "North Front Ship". Besides Niigata Daily Headquarters, there are other companies and commercial facilities. The Observatory is located at the highest place, about 100 meters above the ground. Standing on the observation deck, you can overlook Niigata Plain and the Sea of Japan.

Wandai Bridge, 306.9 meters long, spans Shin Nong River, the longest river in Japan, and consists of six multi-arch bridges. It was designated as an important national cultural property in Heisei 16 (2004). Bandai Bridge can be said to be one of the signs of Niigata. Some scenic spots in Niigata central area are near Wandai Bridge: the west of the bridge leads to the Sea of Japan, turning halfway, passing through the valley, and you can also go to Baishan Shrine.

Rivers in Japan are all named after xx Chuan. Sure enough, Japanese culture originated in China. When I saw the name of Shinagawa, I remembered the sentence "The son is on the river, the cloud: the deceased is like a husband!" Don't give up day and night. "

Go south along the tour of Shinagawa, cross the small town, cross an overpass, and you will arrive at Baishan Park.

Baishan Shrine and Baishan Park are integrated, which is the first park in Niigata. The shrine is in the north and the park is in the south. Baishan Shrine is one of the representative shrines in Niigata Prefecture. The main gods are Ju Liyuan, Xie Yi Nagi and Isobo.

There must be a water purification table in front of the shrine hall in Japan, and there is a clear way to wash your hands next to the water purification table.

There seems to be some activities in the shrine. Several waves of people went in while we were here. The people who performed the ceremony dressed up as witches and sang in a unique Japanese accent to hold the ceremony. We can also go in and participate.

The wishing card is MengMeng's hello kitty model.

There are various pavilions and pavilions in Baishan Park, which have the wind of small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River. In early summer, the lotus leaves in Xuanwu Lake are a little noisy and crowded. In this coastal city of Japan, lotus leaves have just spread out on the water.

There are trees in the park.

Going further out of Baishan Park, the streets in Niigata are very deserted, and almost no one can be seen. I wanted to go to a noodle restaurant for dinner on the way, but I found it closed on Sunday.

Rarely meet luxury cars, compared with the size of ordinary cars _

All the way to the Sea of Japan, students from the primary school affiliated to Niigata University are having a sports meeting, and their parents are cheering, which is similar to that in China.

On the first day, we went to the Sea of Japan by boat, which was not suitable for playing with sand. We walked along the long stone coastline for a while, and soon turned north and came to the aquarium in Japan.

Niigata Aquarium is located at the seaside of Japan. The venue is small, but it is very good. Tickets 1500 yen, holders of sightseeing passes can enjoy the tour fee of 1200 yen. Except Chimelong, I think it looks better than the aquariums in Qingdao, Nanjing and Hong Kong. When we went, there were primary school students to visit, and there were places along the coast where all kinds of fish and aquatic plants were planted and explained. Unfortunately, I didn't understand them.

There are various marine life performances, feeding, explanations and other activities throughout the day.

When you get out of the aquarium, it will be too late. Take "C22 Bangpu Town Line" to Bandai Bus Terminal. Japanese buses get on at the back door and get off at the front door. Drivers will give change, and children under 6 can ride for free.

The children fell asleep as soon as they got on the bus. After getting off from Bandai, they walked to Zhulu Building to sign in. In the evening, they had a simple welcome meal and experienced a standing meal.

There is very little food in Japan, and I always feel a little underfed. On the way home, I went to 7- 1 1 store, bought semi-finished Lamian Noodles, and added a meal after heating in the hotel to satisfy my warm and full stomach.
