travel tips in Japan:Shinjuku,Shibuya,Mount Fuji,Kamakura,Hakone

Written before: Japan is the happiest place to Travel among all the countries I have been to, so I went there twice in half a year and compiled the travel tips I collected before to share with you.

1. Shinjuku: Stay at the Gracery Shinjuku Hotel in Kabukicho
Bird Noble: A chain of Yakiniku restaurants, with a Chinese menu for ipad ordering, the product is unstable, but it is cheap and has many varieties, the orange juice is delicious, and there is no lantern. Recommended salt grilled chicken crispy bones and salt grilled skewers, the sauce grilled ones are easy to burn:
Shopping in Shinjuku lumine est, lumine 1, 2, newomen: I prefer lumine2. By the way, I recommend a few of my favorite daily miscellaneous brands: spick&span, beams, moussy
ragtag-vintage chain store, big-name second-hand: I didn’t go here specifically that day. The current prices of antique shops are very average, not suitable for picking up missing items, but more suitable for buying "orphan items"
Asakusa & Ginza & Roppongi
Sensoji Temple [eat snacks, souvenirs, and pray]: Sensoji Temple + the commercial street at the entrance is about 1 You can finish shopping in an hour, and it’s very hot and sunny when the weather is nice. suzukien asakusa No. 7 Matcha, Asakusa Chaya Matcha crepe can be eaten
It takes half an hour from Sensoji Temple to Ginza
Ginza: harbs, Nakamura Fujiyoshi [Ginza ginza six four-layer matcha dessert] can be eaten, but Nakamura Fujiyoshi cannot eat it Okay, there are them in Kyoto too. In addition to the luxury street in Ginza, you can visit Dove Street market, there are many good buyer shops inside
Roppongi Hills [22 minutes from Ginza]: Go at night, no need to make an appointment in advance, you can ask the staff to the specific location after google navigation to the nearby area, and you can have an overview of Tokyo night after climbing to the top , well worth a look

Tenjiya [Near Shinjuku, Gold Medal Tempura]
Hanoya Nakanoso [Curry Rice]: I ate this and it was delicious, but I feel like there is no need to eat it if you are too far away


2 .Shibuya: You can take the airport bus from Haneda Airport to the city center and take it to Shibuya Station FUKURASU, which takes one hour. After leaving the airport, look for the airport bus sign and go downstairs. You can buy tickets in Chinese at the ticket vending machine
Staying at Shibuya Tobu Hotel: The location is good. It’s about a 5-minute walk to Shibuya Parco. There is a food street nearby. The room is relatively small, but The price/performance ratio is really high
Shibuya parco: There is lelabo that is limited to Tokyo. The buyer’s shop has a lot of selections and the products are very good. There is a matcha dessert on the basement floor with delicious tea fern
Parfaiteria bel Night Parfait, 10 minutes walk, no reservations can be made, you can only pick up the number at the door, the store closes at 24:00

Harajuku + Omotesando + Minami Aoyama
Omotesando: most luxury goods, sufficient budget It will be nice to go shopping, and there are many more To check out the second-hand stores, I suggest you go to Amore+QOO, two second-hand stores. There are many Chanel, Moisturizing Monkey and Jenny Somi have been there
neel brown sugar coffee is delicious, it is very popular on Xiaohongshu
Harajuku: Afuri Yuzu Ramen is delicious, Shopping around made, paradise vintage, tokyo plaza, icosme
If you haven’t eaten the Shibuya night parfait, go to Omotesando initial omotesando and walk after four o’clock in is very convenient


3. Mount Fuji: Be sure to check the weather in advance
Buy a round-Trip ticket at the Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal, or you can book tickets online and take the bus here: after returning from Mount Fuji, you can go to the shopping mall opposite to eat Ochazuke rice, which is very, very Very delicious
Note: Taking the bus to Mount Fuji in the morning may cause traffic jams. The total Journey takes about 3-4 hours. If you get motion sickness, you need to prepare motion sickness medicine or wind oil in advance. There is no good scenery to sleep on along the way
Yoshida Station on the Chuo Expressway Getting off: The bus will announce you at every stop. Stop, don’t worry about missing it. If I remember correctly, there are three versions: Chinese, English and Japanese.
After getting off the bus, navigate to Arakurayama Sengen Park. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the country road to the highway. Then you can see Park gate
After entering the park, climb the mountain to Wuzhong
Google to get to Rikawa Timepiece Store and Tianti Town: The timepiece store doesn’t feel worth visiting, it’s just a watch shop, but the scenery of the Japanese countryside along the way is very, very beautiful, and slowly in the nearby towns Walking around is a very happy time
Google Go back to Yoshida Station and take the train, Fujikyu Express to Kawaguchiko Station, walk for five minutes on the left to reach Lawson (it is said to be under renovation now, there is a sign blocking it)
Google destination Kawaguchiko Cable Car to Kawaguchiko, time permitting you can go to Oshino Hakkai : You can go as soon as you want. The scenery after reaching the top is beautiful, and many people are rowing in the lake
If you buy a round-trip ticket, but want to return to Tokyo city earlier, you can go to the station to change the time for free, but there is only one chance
Eat Shop:
Yuzhong: I didn’t get any food. There were so many people queuing up that I couldn’t imagine, so I walked in I went to a small restaurant and ate the special delicacy of Mount Fuji - Hofu (a kind of thick, flat udon noodles with a clear and vegetable soup. The only meat in it is a dried fish and a fish plate. If you are not interested in special delicacies, Might as well order udon noodles (Pura set meal)
Fujisan-shokupan, the supermarket at the station sells cookies shaped like Mount Fuji, but I didn’t buy this toast


4. Kamakura
Depart from the hotel, arrive After arriving at Shinjuku Station, exit from the Shinjuku West Exit, take the escalator to the first floor, find the Odakyu Tourist Information Center, it opens at 8 o'clock, buy the Kamakura Enoden One-Day Pass, and be sure to catch the 8:07 train and get off at Fujisawa (1h) Transfer to Ezhiden, please note When getting off at Fujisawa, be sure to exit the station and go to the second floor. Don't go to Katase Enoshima. Take the bus directly to the last station, leave your luggage at the hotel and visit in reverse order
Kamakura Station
Go to the hotel first after getting off. Leave your luggage, I'm staying at Tosei Hotel COCONE Kamakura is only 300 meters away from Kamakura Station and within walking distance of the food street. The hotel rooms are generally large, but the service is very good, simple late-night snacks are provided, and the bed is very comfortable
Xiao Tingtong Food Street: Ginza Bon Ramen [Michelin, chicken white soup ramen, butter chicken rice, I had chicken white soup ramen Matcha ramen is not delicious and very greasy, but I have never tried it. It is recommended to try it, it is all an experience], giraffa [curry bread, delicious, really delicious], Daibutsu Yaki [take photos]
Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine: Turn right at the end of Komachi Street, it is highly recommended to go, in summer The lakeside is full of white vine flowers, which are dazzlingly beautiful. Very beautiful
Hasedera Station: Haseding Temple, Goryo Shrine, Kamakura Buddha [tickets require cash], if you haven’t been there, you must go and see it. I went to Haseding Temple twice, even if there were no hydrangeas. It is also a garden scenery worth admiring. After climbing to the top (you can reach the top in 3 minutes), you can have a panoramic view of the sickle. Kuramai View
Shichirigahama Station:
Scenery similar to Kamakura Kogakumae Station
Many sea view cafes [There are more people near Shichirigahama, but fewer people walking in]: It is highly recommended to find a cafe to sit in

Shonan Coast: double doors navy [Wagyu beef garlic fried rice, cod and chips, the store smells very smokey, you need to make a reservation in advance] I haven’t tried it, but everyone said it was delicious, you can try it
Kamakura Kohakumae Station: Slam Dunk filming location, you don’t have to leave Take photos here, just take them at Shichirihama
Enoshima: (Go in the evening, there is a half-hour queue at the observation tower, but most shops on the island close at 5-6 o'clock, pay attention to the last bus Time 23:29, walk from the train station to Zuishinmon and enter the shrine): Enoshima is beautiful, you won’t be tired if you climb to the top, and there is little point in climbing the watchtower
Fujimitei [Go at four o’clock to see the sunset , no reservation required]: Although the food is not delicious, it is really happy to eat while looking at the sea... If you are afraid of eagles, don’t sit outside, the eagles hovering in the sky are only five or six meters away from the diners
Walking as you like Went into a shop with a small family. Although it is on the other side of the sea, it is really beautiful and the food is delicious

Back to Kamakura to rest
If you don’t want to live there In Kamakura, you can choose to stay at Shichirihama Prince Hotel. I stayed in the Mount Fuji view room package. If I get up at 7 o'clock, I can really take pictures of Mount Fuji, which is beautiful. The hotel room is huge and the stay is very comfortable


5. Kyoto
Yumoto Gora: Buy a two-day pass and take Odawara from Shinjuku to Yumoto for 90 minutes, then transfer to the mountain tram for 40 minutes directly to Gora
I live in Setsugekka Hot spring hotels, one stay and two meals are a specialty of Hakone. Dinner is the fish pot provided by the hotel. After eating, you can choose to go to the public hot springs or go back to your room to soak in the hot springs. It is so comfortable. The room is extremely huge and the bed is in the form of a tatami

Hakone is the best place to soak in hot springs and enjoy leisurely. There is no need to rush. It can be summarized as follows: mountain tram - cable car - pirate ship. The three means of transportation pass through all the attractions in Hakone. After seeing it, you can take the bus from Motohakone Port back to Gora (Conductor My aunt secretly told me: You can take the bus from the bus stop before Minakami Torii. There will be a lot less people, otherwise the queue will be long)
Sounzan
Owakudani : Take the cable car to Owakudani, buy black eggs, and eat the special black curry. To be honest, it’s quite boring. It feels a bit like a domestic attraction
Togendai: Queue up to take the pirate ship, visit Lake Ashi, and end at Motohakone Port
Motohakone Port: There are a lot of people at the water torii gate. Those who are interested can queue up to take photos

The next morning, I went to the Sculpture Forest and came back to pick up my luggage. Go down the mountain and return to Odawara, transfer to JR and go to Fujisawa and take the Enoden
From Kamakura to Kyoto: reverse from Kamakura to Shin-Yokohama for 1 hour, and from Shin-Yokohama to Kyoto for 2 hours. After arriving at Shin-Yokohama, you need to swipe your card to exit the station. It is highly recommended. Don't use the machine to buy tickets by yourself. I followed Xiaohongshu's tutorial and bought the wrong ticket. I went directly to the manual window to buy it. After buying the ticket, first find the platform, and then you can go to the platform level. Buy Shinkansen bento and drinks at the supermarket below. Although the bento is not delicious, eating on the train is also a different experience


6. Kyoto [My Favorite]
I live in Shijo Kawaramachi - Hot Spring Hotel Soroniwa is very, very, very perfect. I stayed here twice in Kyoto. The location is right next to Takashimaya and Nishiki Market, and it is within walking distance to Yasaka Shrine Kamogawa and almost all attractions. The hotel has an open-air hot spring and a rooftop bar. Sitting on the rooftop at night, blowing in the air and soaking my feet, watching the night view of Kyoto is my happiest moment this year

Shopping: How good is Takashimaya in Kyoto? Beating all shopping malls, there are many machines in Nishiki Market that can take pictures of the four frames of life and Japanese big eye special effects. There are also many gashapon machines that are very fun
Kiyomizudera kimono experience: I chose the Okamoto kimono, which requires an appointment. The price The price is reasonable and the service is assembly line service
Gion: Tokuya [Warabi Mochi]
Yasaka Shrine: Kikunoi Musha Sanbo Matcha
Hanamikoji: Not interesting
Three Years Edition 2 The annual editions are all together: nothing interesting, just buy and browse
Sit next to the Kamogawa River: Furuto Xiang [Markoko Specialty Shop], Tanbaya [Markoko Shop], Demachi [Centennial Japanese Confectionery Shop]
Kyoto Gionらーめんnishishi [soy sauce ramen, yuzu ramen, rice bowl]
天丼まきのKyoto Temple Town [tempura, business hours 11:00-15:30; 17:00-21:00]
Recommend one to everyone Tsukemen: Mensho Takamatsu shijo Shop, it’s 10,000 times more delicious than any other noodle shop Yuko. Everyone who has tried it says that you must go there. There is almost no queue in small chain stores
Japanese chestnut saori waguri senmon saori: Please be sure to go for the very delicious Chestnut Montblanc...

You can take the Fushimi Juishifune, and the subway can get there in half an hour, every 20 minutes, latest at 4:30. 75 per person
Saliao Kyoto: Eat flower cakes and dumplings, no reservation required, one rating You can go or not
Nakamura Fujiyoshi: It’s delicious, every item is delicious, it’s worth queuing up
Mishimatei (dao): Sukiyaki upstairs at Takashimaya, no need to make a reservation and basically no need to wait Yes, it's so delicious. Even if I get gastroenteritis after eating it because the wagyu is too rich in fat, I'd still be willing to eat it again. Wagyu beef melts in your mouth. You can ask the auntie who cooks the meat to put less sugar

7. Arashiyama, Kyoto
Arashiyama: The scenery of Arashiyama in summer is very beautiful Generally speaking, if you don’t go, you will regret one day and two days if you go, but you still go<b r>Luggage can be stored at Kyoto Station
Kyoto Station Jr-Mabori
Mahori walks to the train Kameoka Station, buys a one-way ticket to Arashiyama Station and takes the train for 30 minutes
Jōjikoji Temple - return after visiting Go to the small train Arashiyama Station - Arashiyama Bamboo Forest - There is Sky in the Bamboo Forest Ryuji Temple - have lunch and visit the surrounding commercial streets - Togetsukyo Bridge - Monkey Mountain Park - walk to JR Arashiyama Station and take the JR Line back to Kyoto
We ate Arashiyama's special tofu cuisine in the commercial street. It's delicious, but the service and way of eating are a bit interesting. You can give it a try. There shouldn’t be much difference between the trains
Then it’s relatively simple to get from Kyoto to Osaka: enter Kyoto Station, take the jr line, get off at platform No. 5, use Google Map to check the train number, there are three stops in total, and it takes 30 minutes to arrive in Osaka


8. Osaka
It is divided into two areas, Namba and Umeda. Namba has many famous attractions. When it comes to shopping, the two places are about the same. Umeda is cleaner and easier to visit
Stay at UNIZO Hotel. Hotels in Osaka are generally relatively shabby and small. This hotel is a short distance away. Shinsaibashi Parco and Daimaru are just a five-minute walk
Osaka Umeda Okonomiyaki Kiji [Teppanyaki no reservation required, no queues]: There is no need to eat this, just walk The taste is just like Okonomiyaki, there is no difference
The diamond curry upstairs in Hankyu is very delicious. You can eat it when you are tired from shopping. Personally, I think it is much more delicious than the omelette rice in Tokyo
Osaka Nana Omelet Rice【Close Nishi Daiichi Omelet Rice】
Miyata Noodles [Damp noodles]: The polarization is a bit serious
Osaka Castle Park + Namba Yasaka Shrine: No need to go to the castle tower, no need to take a cruise, just stroll down below
Organization of Osaka shopping malls: Shinsaibashi Parco + Daimaru /Umeda Hankyu/Shinsaibashi Takashimaya /Shinsaibashi Namba city/Umeda Banshin.


9. Nara
Kasuga Taisha Shrine, Wakakusayama, live in Osaka
Take the train from Osaka Kintetsu Namba Station to Nara: Take the express train (50 minutes, fare 680)
Nara Park: Arriving at Nara You can reach Nara Park by going uphill along the road from Rago. Don't be in a hurry to feed them. Go to Kasuga Taisha Shrine to buy deer cakes (200 yen)
Deer are very fierce, so be careful... I got bitten on the butt
Kasuga Taisha Shrine
Wakakusayama
Higashi Shopping Street No need to visit.
