Take children to Tokyo to play introduction

Tokyo is a very famous city. I believe everyone knows this. Generally speaking, you must go to Tokyo to go to Japan. This small series will tell you about the strategy of taking children to Tokyo.

Take children to Tokyo to play introduction

1. Buy air tickets &; For direct flights to Guangzhou and Tokyo, you can choose China Southern Airlines, JAL and ANA. China Southern had a good time, but after sitting too many times, there were no bright spots in seats and catering services, so this time we chose ANA with higher evaluation.

Compared with Guangzhou, Hong Kong has more flights and more affordable air tickets. If you buy cheap air tickets, you should pay attention to the baggage weight limit, otherwise you may have to pay expensive fees for overweight luggage.

When we booked a plane ticket in official website, we had already selected seats and booked children's meals. When handling the baggage consignment, the ground crew hangs the consignment and fragile label for the stroller. Push the stroller to the boarding gate before boarding the plane, and the staff will seal it with plastic bags and take it away, and get it back when getting off the plane.

All Nippon Airways flights have spacious seats. After boarding the plane, the stewardess brought three small toys, and Paste Bao chose to blow the plane. There are many entertainment programs on board, and children can watch cartoons, such as Travel Notes of Dream Circle and Doraemon.

Dreams, etc. ; Adults can choose movies, TV series, variety shows, etc. And listen to music.

Many parents worry that their children will cry when the plane takes off and lands. They can let children drink water/milk or eat snacks to relieve eardrum discomfort. There are covered paper cups and straws, milk powder, disposable diapers and other items for children passengers in the car; In order to prevent passengers from scalding, hot drinks are not provided for children passengers and passengers with babies.

The taste of the plane meal is ok, the metal tableware and Haagen-Dazs get extra points, and the return meal seems more exquisite. Hu Bao doesn't like children's meals very much. Adults can choose western food or mixed food.

2. The flight attendants on the plane at Tokyo Airport will distribute the entry cards and customs declaration forms. When going through the entry formalities, hand over the filled-in entry card (telephone number, address and other information in Japan) and passport to the staff at the entry counter, and take fingerprints and photos as instructed. After receiving the checked baggage, submit the declaration form of carrying articles, and the family only needs to fill in one.

International flights to and from Tokyo mainly use Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport) and Narita International Airport (Narita Airport). This time we are Haneda Jin and Narita Chu.

Haneda Airport has perfect maternal and child facilities, and it is very efficient to pick up checked baggage at the Japanese airport. After the entry formalities, our luggage has been removed from the turntable and put aside. Not far from the bus station, it only takes about half an hour from Haneda Airport to the city.

Narita Airport is far from downtown, and it takes more than one hour by bus from Tokyo Station. The fare is 1000 yen. You can also go by tram. For check-in, ANA mainly uses the method of self-printing boarding pass and checking luggage at the counter. Passengers can print their boarding passes and luggage consignment labels on their passports, and the strollers checked at the boarding gate also need to be labeled, and then take their luggage to the counter for consignment.

Third, hotels in Tokyo are generally more expensive and exquisite (small in area). After choosing your favorite hotel, you can compare prices in Biyi.cn. It should be noted that different websites may have different price tags, some of which include taxes and service charges, while others do not.

Fourth, the purchase of children's tickets is different from the domestic practice of dividing by height. Most theme parks, museums and art galleries in Japan use age as the dividing line for the purchase of children's tickets, and some institutions use different ages such as 1, 3, 4 and 6, which need to be specifically asked. Trams and other means of transportation are generally free to ride under the age of 6.

It is very convenient to buy baby products in Japan. If you don't want to bring it, you can buy it directly in the local area. The following are Hu Bao's luggage:

In particular, there are few garbage cans on the streets of Japan, so it is best to prepare some garbage bags. There are trash cans in stations and toilets, and there are more trash cans in Disneyland.

6. Converting currencies Most of the foreign currencies exchanged in banks are large denomination banknotes. Fortunately, there is no need to worry about counterfeit yen. Credit cards, Visa, Master and JCB can be used in department stores, large shopping malls and pharmacies.

More common. Although the use of UnionPay can save money conversion fees, the exchange rate is not good, and there are also stores that do not accept UnionPay. It is recommended to apply for JCB's Japanese yen card or Visa/Master's full currency card.

Compared with the previous trip to Kansai, I feel that there are more places to support cashless payment. I bought JRpass at the station.

You can swipe your card, you can buy a lift ticket with Alipay at the scenic spot, and you can pay by WeChat at the souvenir shop, which is very convenient. But there are still some occasions when cash must be used. It's safer to take some cash with you.

7. Mobile networks in Japan can choose to rent WiFi, use Japanese calling cards or international roaming data of domestic operators, and some hotels provide free smartphones to enjoy the network.

When we first went to Japan, we wandered around the world rented by Taobao, but we could get it back at the airport. 4G traffic is unlimited (subject to the local fair use principle), the speed and coverage are good, and the battery is basically enough for one day. The phone card network bought in Taobao this time is not very stable. The smart phone provided by the hotel enjoys a good network, but not everyone provides it.

Eight, mobile phone applications in Japan, it is recommended to install several mobile phone applications.

Domestic transportation in Japan: Google Maps, under changing circumstances. Two applications

They are very detailed and can be used from the stage of itinerary planning, and they are also used every day after arriving in Japan. It should be noted that the suggested route may be completely different at different departure times, and the ride time does not include waiting time.

In the case of changing buses, you can find the bus information of the platform where you get on and off, and you can also sort the lines according to the length of time, price, transfer times, etc., but you need a more accurate place name to find out the results. If you only know the general information, use it.

GoogleMap is likely to find the results.

Weather: the weather forecast in Japan is very detailed, so you can refer to adjusting your itinerary and getting dressed.

Translation: GoogleTranslate. There are not many opportunities to use it, so general restaurants and shops can communicate in basic English; There are also shops that can connect translators to provide remote services.

9. The transportation tickets used this time are ICOCA and JRTOKYOWidePass previously purchased in Kansai. ICOCA can accept it

JR, subway, bus and other means of transportation or shopping. When you take the bus, you can swipe your card in and out of the station, and you can recharge it at the automatic ticket vending machines, recharge machines and convenience stores in the station. Some machines accept credit card recharge. Suica, commonly known as watermelon card, is widely used in Tokyo.

And pasmo.

JR Tokyo wide area pass scope of use

Young people

The fare of Tokyo Wide Area Pass for adults (12 years old or older) is 10000 yen. You can take the designated seats of ordinary cars such as Shinkansen and express trains in the free zone for three consecutive days, but you can't take Tokaido Shinkansen and JR.

Bus.

JRpass can be purchased at Narita Airport, Haneda Airport, Tokyo Station, Shinjuku, Shibuya and other places. Show your passport at the time of purchase, and fill in the buyer's name, purchase quantity and opening date on the form provided by the staff.

You can't cross the plane with JR Tokyo Wide Area Pass, and you have to take the manual channel every time. The guidebook says that if you use and buy a pass,

If found, both of them will leave criminal records and may be refused entry in the future. Please don't challenge the law.

Use JR

When you take the Tokyo Wide Area Pass train with designated seats, you must go to the ticket office (green window) before boarding. You don't have to pay, but you must determine the frequency. You can draw your seats before each ride, or you can draw everything you need at once. When tickets are tight, such as holidays, it is safer to issue tickets at one time.

In addition to JRpass, other commonly used tickets include Tokyo Metro 24-hour ticket, Tokyo sightseeing pass and Lily Seagull one-day ticket. , which can be purchased on demand.

X. take the tram Japan's railway network is developed, and some major stations have concentrated many lines operated by many different companies. Shinjuku Station is certified by Guinness World Records as the most used station in the world, with light Jr

There are more than ten platforms in the station, and there are many legends about getting lost.

Some stations operated by different companies are very close. If you accidentally enter the wrong station, you won't be able to get out after a certain period of time, so be sure to look carefully when you enter the station. Tokyo metro

As well as the Du Ying subway operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Transportation Bureau, they are all called subways, so you should pay attention to the distinction when riding.

When transferring, it depends on whether to transfer inside or outside the station, and the lines operated by different tram companies should leave the station first and then transfer; Transfer between different lines operated by the same company generally does not need to leave the station.

When taking a bus, different trains may stop at the same platform. Please pay attention to the departure time to avoid getting on the wrong bus. There are toilets and diaper tables in the tram station, with convenient barrier-free facilities, elevators and ramps, and it is also convenient to push luggage by cart. It may take some time and detour to find the location of the elevator.

The tram in Japan is very quiet, and I feel particularly embarrassed when the baby is noisy. Fortunately, everyone is friendly and understanding.

Tokyo subway safety guide

Need to pay attention to the ride etiquette: control the volume when talking; Set the phone to mute to avoid talking; Don't use mobile phones near priority seats, some trams can't be used when they are crowded; Save space when riding. Luggage can be put on the rack above the seat, not on the seat next to it. Bring your own garbage bag and take it home for disposal.

XI。 Compared with Osaka and Tokyo, there are fewer drugstores and hundred-dollar stores for shopping (or they are inconspicuous and need to be searched specially). Xisongwu's baby products are cost-effective and inexpensive, but the quality is average.

Daily necessities can be bought in Don Quixote supermarket, with large area and many commodities, some of which are more affordable than drugstores, and there is no need to classify them, and almost all commodities are tax-free.

Shops in Clear Sky Street in Tokyo are concentrated, and there is a well-known handwritten book TokyoBanana.

Tree, cosmeceutical shop Matsumoto Ito, optical shop Zoff, clothing store Uniqlo, etc. , Acorn * * * and China (Studio Ghibli's gift shop), Relaxed Bear Store, Hello Kitty and so on.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Of course, the most recommended products are all kinds of limited editions of the Sky Tower, and we have solved a pile of calligraphy here. If there is no obsession with limited edition, airport duty-free shops may be cheaper to start with, but airport duty-free shops are really overcrowded.

When buying duty-free goods, the clerk will attach the list to his passport. Last time he left Osaka, the customs received the list, but not in Tokyo this time.

Japan's consumption tax is currently 8%, so tax exemption is still attractive. Duty-free shops have eye-catching tax-free signs, and Uniqlo, Muji, Don Quixote and drugstores are all tax-free when they buy a certain amount.

12. Dining in Tokyo is not difficult to find meals acceptable to children. Many restaurants have children's tableware and dining chairs. When you go to Japan, you must eat Japanese food. Compared with Guangzhou and Hong Kong, the price of the same quality is lower. Most of them are two or three thousand yen for a meal, and the per capita is about 1000 yen.

In order to ensure Hu Bao's milk supply, we bought her whole milk in convenience stores and supermarkets. There is only iced milk in Japan, not at room temperature. You can also buy rice balls and bread for brunch and dinner at the convenience store.
