Chapter 145 Don't cry
Foreigners in Japan usually shop for cosmetics products that are over yen, and electronic products can enjoy tax exemption. Japan's consumption tax is %. In addition, the current exchange rate of RMB to yen is very cost-effective, no wonder so many Chinese people rushed to sweep goods. Here I share some experiences for reference: electronic products.
The favorite things such as rice cookers and toilet lids of Chinese aunts are cheaper when you go to the chain electrical stores, mainly yodobashicamera and pike camera. These two companies are available in major cities, and more than one, similar to Suning and Gome in China, but the prices of each store are still different.
Friends can compare the three stores. More importantly, these two chain stores generally have discounts of % for UnionPay card or Visa card, plus duty-free, at least % cheaper. Yunluo has to complain about it here. There are many large chain electrical appliance duty-free stores in Japan, and the things inside are also complete.
For example, Lao, there are several stores in Akihabara alone. However, according to Yunluo and An Chuyu's observation, the prices of the products here are really not very good. Yunluo and An Chuyu actually verified the sign price of the same digital camera. The store bought in Yunluo and An Chuyu is priced at more than yen, and their family is.
Yunluo and An Chuyu saw many bus stops next to them, and many Chinese uncles and aunts walked around with rice cookers. Without explaining the medicine cosmetics and small department stores, they would see many medical cosmetics chain stores in Japan, similar to small supermarkets in China, and they could be seen everywhere. In addition to medicine cosmetics, you can also buy a lot of things, such as things for babies.
Thermos, pantyhose, etc. The prices of specific items in drugstores vary greatly. Generally speaking, the prices in Tokyo are higher than those in Osaka and Kyoto, but specific items are not certain. Yunluo and An Chuyu mainly buy drugstores in Kyoto and Osaka. Matsu Tokiyoshi chain stores buy more, based on An Chuyu's experience of living in Japan.
Their prices are relatively cheap, and the same chain store is slightly higher near the bustling section of the main road. I want to complain about the bird here. An Chuyu said that there is a chain department store in Japan with extremely cheap prices. So Yun Luo and An Chuyu saw a family in Dotonbori, Osaka and he went in.
As a result, the price was completely unreliable. The same thermos, electrical appliances and drugstores are not worth yen, and the price is close to the price there. I still can't explain it. Shopping malls, Japan's large shopping malls Yunluo and An Chuyu also visited several stores, such as Takashimaya, Isetan, Daimaru, etc. If there are no special events or discounts in the mall.
The price does not have much advantage compared to domestic prices, except for tax refunds. Yes, when buying things in a mall, you usually get a tax refund of more than yen, not directly exempt. Pay the full payment first, then go to the designated counter to apply for a tax refund and directly repay you cash. Different reminders are something you will definitely encounter during your trip by taking the escalator in Japan.
First of all, when riding the escalator, everyone will voluntarily line up, and only occupy one side, freeing up the other half for those who need to pass by quickly. Here we should explain: the habit of taking elevators in Kanto and Kansai areas is different. Kanto stands on the left and Kansai stands on the right. There are very few trash cans on the streets of Japan, and there are generally only at the door of convenience stores.
No one can eat while walking, so everyone should try to follow the customs. You can bring some garbage bags on your body for later use. You may not notice that Japan has many super humane things. For example: In order to take care of the blind, traffic lights at intersections pass by pedestrians from east to west and north to south.
The reminder sounds issued at the time are different (this may be of no use to everyone). What is useful is: the station has its own luggage storage cabinet, and coins with a face value of yen are required. In order to prevent the coins on everyone from not enough, there will be a coin exchanger on the side. Special recommendations are recommended: Kyoto Shijo Kyoko. You can buy clothes here.
There are all kinds of souvenirs, perfumes, medicine and cosmetics. There are basically everything, which is a bit like a small commodity market. There are many small shops in it, which are very cost-effective. The specific location is easy to find. The entrance is on Sijotong Street, not far from Daimaru Department Store. Japanese hotels are somewhat different from China. Hotel prices vary according to the number of people staying in.
The price of staying in a room is different from that of two people, and the hotel room price is separate from the breakfast fee. It has to be said that the breakfast cost of a Japanese hotel is very expensive, but considering that it is the first day of a trip to Japan, I specially asked for an additional breakfast when booking a room. The breakfast at the Nagoya Hilton Hotel is average in cost-effective.
In fact, I personally recommend that you do not book breakfast when booking a hotel. There are many convenience stores on the streets of Japan, such as fa fans, Lymart and Lason. The food inside is cheap and cheap, nutritious, and there are many choices. The Japanese young meat in the hotel lobby is saliva. After breakfast, take advantage of the time of waiting for the hotel shuttle bus to stroll around the hotel.
Clean and tidy streets, elegant cafes, envy, jealousy and hated the beauty of Japanese life. Starbucks across the street from the hotel, if it weren’t for considering that he had just finished breakfast, he really wanted to rush in and buy a cup. The vending machines on the streets of Japan were almost the same nationwide, whether it was an airport or a station.
Think about the bad-hearted price of our Tianchao Airport Station, and all kinds of tears are gone. The prices of cigarette vending machines are relatively balanced, with RMB per pack, and it feels like smoking is just a need for them, not the so-called face. Nagoya is the capital of Aichi Prefecture, Japan, and is also called "Zhongjing" because it is between Tokyo and Kyoto.
Nagoya has a strong historical charm. The three heroes of Japan's Warring States Period, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu were all born here. Nagoya Castle, Hirota Shrine, Tokugawa Garden and other relics record the history of Japan's Warring States Period. Nagoya attractions are very concentrated and the transportation system is well developed. You can enjoy the Nagoya style in one day.
Nagoya Castle and Osaka Castle and Kumamoto Castle are known as the three famous cities in Japan. They were originally built by Tokugawa Ieyasu. Among them, the Tensou Pavilion is the place where the Tokugawa family's three generations lived. Tickets are yen. Transportation: Get off the bus on the "shimakuen" on the Maki Line and walk for five minutes, or get off the bus on the "Asamacho" on the Tsuruji Line and walk for a minute.
Nagoya Castle was rebuilt after World War II and an elevator was added, so you can go directly to the top Tensou Pavilion to visit the cultural relics in the museum. The most famous golden rosy in Nagoya Castle, Japanese Chinese character (pronounced shahi, shahihoko), was used as a fire-proof talisman to decorate the beams and later became a symbol of the city lord's full strength.
It takes about an hour to visit Nagoya Castle. It is said that in March, many cherry blossoms in Nagoya Castle are in full bloom and are fascinated by the city walls. It is the most beautiful time in Nagoya Castle. Every Saturday or holiday, Ninomaru also has a popular performance with the Warring States generals playing Tokugawa Ieyasu, Oda Nobunaga and others, which is very lively.
The Shrine of Inuda is one of the oldest and most noble shrines in Japan, with a strong historical atmosphere. It is famous for its Kusama Sword, one of the three major artifacts in Japan, but the artifacts are not exhibited to the public. The ancient sites such as Twenty-Fu Dingqiao and Sakuma Lanterns are distributed here. The Treasure Museum most attracts tourists to the Treasure Museum, which contains many antiques.
Artworks and classical documents are also preserved. Nobunaga screen donated after the victory of Oda Nobunaga's Battle of Sashima. Free visit to Onoda Shrine. The treasure museum is yen and it takes about an hour to visit. Tokugawa Garden originated from the second generation of the Tokugawa family's vassal lords who went to secluded in secluded places. It is a typical Ikezumi return-to-view garden in Japanese gardens.
The natural forest is preserved intact by its different heights and terrain, and a three-dimensional rock group has been formed. The Tokugawa Art Museum and the Matsuzuo Library inside collect the relics of Tokugawa and the national treasure "Genji Story" flower scroll. The garden pass is yen, and it takes about an hour to visit. The first full meal in Japan is the eel rice in yen.
I have to say that it is a bit luxurious. This is the most famous food in Nagoya, and the way to eat it is very particular. First, serve the eel rice in a bowl and taste the deliciousness of the eel and sauce, then mix in seaweed, cored hemp and green perilla. Enjoy the refreshing taste, and finally add chopped green onion, mustard and hot soup as eel tea to enjoy rice.
In the afternoon, I took a tram to Gifu at Nagoya Station. Transportation guide: Nagoya is the main hub of the Shinkansen. It varies according to the speed and fee. Nagoya is also the closest transit station to the Takayama Missile Mountains. There are trains and dedicated lines to travel. The missile emergency takes hours and minutes, about RMB. The specific flight and schedule can be used as Nagoya Metro is not as responsible as Tokyo.
One day discount tickets for taking subway buses can be purchased at the subway station ticket vending machine or bus driver. One-day subway tickets for adults and yen for children. One-day subway tickets for adults and yen for adults and yen for Gifu street buses. The famous Japanese novelist Yamaoka Shohachi wrote a large series of historical hours.
The history of Oda Nobunaga, Toyotoki Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu and other heroes in the middle and late Warring States periods of Japan is vigorously spreading. If you are interested, you can find out the Gifu Grand Hotel. It should be said that this is the best hotel in Gifu City, deviating from Gifu City and close to Nagara River. The surrounding scenery is very good.
The hotel has a very modern appearance, but the interior decoration is Japanese, especially the room. I was very excited when I stayed in a Japanese-style room for the first time. Finally, it was time to soak in the hot springs, maybe because of the day. There were not many people who soaked in. Most Japanese people soaked in hot springs at night and early the next morning. They also had various imaginations about Japanese hot springs before, such as running naked, and bathing together with men and women...
In fact, most hot springs are separated by men and women. In definition, they are bathhouses. The difference is the hot spring water. Therefore, wearing a swimsuit is not very meaningful. I have to say that massage in Japan is not usually expensive. Should friends with foresighted business opportunities consider starting a business? The hot springs should not be soaked for too long, it will take about half an hour, otherwise they will not only feel tired.
The dehydration phenomenon can also be serious. Change into Japanese kimono, sit cross-legged, soak the sencha, and enjoy the trip. The hotel is Nagara River. There are many local tourists playing by the river, mostly barbecuing by the river. It feels like Japan really enjoys life. The most famous Nagara River in Japanese history once happened here, and of course, it is now more famous for hot springs.
When I was about to go out for food, I encountered the sunset. I was still having fun at such a big age and was drunk. A full table of food was only yen, which was extremely rich. Because I rarely ate Japanese food in China, when the boss brought the food, the camera was busier than others, and it was all kinds of clicks. A brief comment on the Gifu Grand Hotel.
The best hot spring hotel in Gifu, and it is the Golden Week in Japan, so the hotel is full. The environment in the hotel is great, but the transportation is far away from the city. The hotel has multiple free shuttle buses every day to Gifu city, and there are also buses to the hotel at Gifu Station. The hotel service is very commendable. Of course, the hot springs in the hotel are the key and are free to use, but there is an additional yen per person for soup consumption.
The only inconvenience is the dining room. The hotel itself has a restaurant, and there is also an izakaya that evaluates consumption on the ground floor. However, I thought the hotel's dining room was very expensive at the time, so I walked to the nearest restaurant nearby for at least a minute.
I woke up early in the morning in front of Gifu Station. I decided to go to the hot springs. I thought it would be very quiet, but I didn’t expect that there were already many people in the hot springs. I thought it was part of their culture or lifestyle. I checked out at about 8 o’clock. I took the hotel shuttle bus to the city of Gifu, and I wanted to check in at the hotel where I checked in at night.
As a result, I was told that I could check in after 3 pm. The waiting time was too long, so I decided to go to Jungami Hachiman for a quick look. Transportation guide: Take the JR Tokaido Shinkansen from Tokyo Station to Nagoya Station for about an hour, and then transfer to the JR Takayama Main Line to Mino Ota Station for about a minute.
Take the JR Tokaido Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka Station to Yonehara Station for about a minute. Then transfer to the JR Tokaido Line to Gifu Station for about a minute, then transfer to the JR Takayama Main Line to Mino Ota Station for about a minute. Take the Nagarakawa Railway from Mino Ota Station to Jungami Hachiman Station for about a minute. Take the Gifu Station by bus, and it takes about an hour.
The fare is one-way, and the round trip is yen. In fact, I don’t know anything about Hachiman, and my friends who travelled with me have never been there. I probably know it is an ancient town, but for Yunluo, who has been living in the Jiangnan water town, there is no expectation. However, after arriving, I was surrounded by mountains and rivers, which made Yunluo’s eyes shine. Hachiman, Jungami.
It is roughly located in the center of Omiono in the center of Gifu Prefecture. The upper reaches of Nagara River meet with its tributary Yoshida River. It is the "Chushima Town" of Hachiman Castle, a town built in the century (a town developed with the residence of the princes as the center). The red-shelled streets are still preserved. The current Hachiman Castle was rebuilt in the early 2000s, and many weapons and weapons of that time are exhibited in the Tensou Pavilion.
Basically, there are such sculptures in front of every household. It is not difficult to see the people here prefer dogs. After seeing that there are many hotels in Jungami Hachiman, Yunluo and his friends also regret it in their hearts, because the accommodation for the evening is in Gifu city, while Jungami Hachiman is in the middle of Gifu and tomorrow's destination, which means that Yunluo and An Chu meet will have to rush back to Gifu in the afternoon.
Then tomorrow I rushed from Gifu to Takayama and then passed through Hachiman, Jungami, which was quite troublesome. Such a mini car could only be found in Japan. It was time to have a delicious time on the tip of my tongue. I specially chose a restaurant with a relatively elegant environment. The young boss lady was enthusiastic and beautiful, so it made people feel at a loss.
In fact, I was originally worried that this is a tourist area and would not be slaughtered. Later, after looking at the menu, I found that the worry was completely unnecessary. In fact, I found that the whole day of Japan was about the same price as the restaurant in Japan, and it was not distinguished from airport stations, tourist areas or ordinary streets. It is very famous for very beef. Although its reputation is not as good as Kobe beef.
However, the words of missile beef can be seen everywhere in central Japan. I have to say that it is very fresh and delicious, and the price is also very cheap. This large plate only costs yen. The ones ordered by my friend, it looks good just. Personally, for many Japanese people who run catering, they are basically family-owned, and have been passed down from generation to generation for decades.
Carefully prepare food for customers and serve enthusiastically and humblely. Especially for the optimistic attitude of young bosses, they give people the feeling that they can develop better, but they are divided into persistent devotion to the family's career. It feels that it is very satisfying for them to do a good job in the current career, rather than thinking about opening branches or chain franchise, to a certain extent.
This kind of life is enviable. If you pass by Hachiman, a friend who will pass by the Gunakamiya in the future, I highly recommend you to come to this restaurant. In summer, there is a continuous night of Jungami dance, which is called the night dance on the climax day. From night to early morning the next day, tourists will also participate in the dance together. The delicious potato cakes, one for yen.
I returned to Gifu Station in front of Gifu Station in Gifu City at around 5 pm. The hotel gives people a very modern feeling, not like a hotel at all. To be more precise, it should be a hot spring hotel. The hotel is located in a very modern building in front of Gifu Station. Check-in is in the building, and the decoration environment is very exquisite.
The disadvantage is that the rooms are very small. The hotel provides free hot springs, and the environment is more exquisite than the previous hotel. Most of the guests come to take hot springs at night or early the next morning, and there is basically no one during the day. This izakaya was chosen because it was full of guests, and on the other hand, it was because of this large wooden barrel.
It turns out that Japanese barbecue is fast and fast, and of course it is also roasted on slow fire. When watching Japanese movies, Japanese men like to sit in the izakaya for a while after get off work and order a glass of wine to relieve the pressure of work and life. It feels like the Japanese eat very little, and the things ordered in the izakaya are also very small, most of which are wine and one small.
