2024 Early Spring Japan Tour No. 4;
The first day of the novelty is free and easy
This trip to Japan is 8 days, but the actual tour is only 6 days, because it takes one day to come to Japan and one day to return home.
March 28 is the first day of travel in Japan, and travel agencies arrange independent tours, that is, tour guides do not take a group to fly alone. On the evening of March 27th, at the suggestion of the tour guide, I did my homework on the next day's itinerary and prepared to visit several attractions such as Minji Shrine. In the 80s, I studied Japanese in Japan for a period of time, and I was at the top of my class in exams, and I wanted to travel to Japan for decades, but I didn't expect this long-cherished wish to come true more than 40 years later, but I basically forgot all the Japanese I learned back then, and to be honest, I don't have the passion I had back then.
The plan is not as good as the change, just when I was arranging the free travel to practice Japanese, the insider proposed to play with the rest of the group, so I joined a small group of 8 people who were improvised and led by a middle-aged woman who was enthusiastic and knew English. She worries about buying tickets and asking for directions along the way, so we just have to follow her. I didn't have the opportunity to practice Japanese, but I did save a lot of trouble.
The first stop of the tour is the Tokyo Tower, which is 13 meters taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris and is the second highest speed tower in the world. It was built to commemorate the development of television broadcasting in Japan and has become a famous landmark in Tokyo, Japan. The tower stands tall among the towers of downtown Tokyo.
Looking at the tower from afar, the tower is tall and dressed in a dark red "coat", and the tower is dressed like a charming and beautiful woman. When you walk to the bottom of the tower, Yu Jia feels its grandeur, and at this time you will feel that the tower is like a majestic athlete, full of muscles and firm, exuding a charming man's atmosphere. The center of the tower is a well-designed shopping mall that attracts waves of tourists to visit and shop.
After visiting Tokyo Tower, we took the subway to the Shibuya business district, which is another bustling commercial and shopping area in Tokyo, Japan, in addition to Ginza. There are many shops on the street, and the signboards stand prominently. The streets are full of traffic, and large advertising vehicles shuttle from time to time. The large screens on the high-rise buildings are filled with colorful advertisements, reminiscent of the glamorous nights here. The green lights are lit up at the crossroads, and the southeast, northwest, and northwest tourists are surging in the opposite direction, and the spectacular scene of the crowd is like a turbulent wave. Pedestrians of different colors in the sea of people raised their cameras and competed to capture the spectacular scene of the crowd.
I remember the first day I arrived at Narita Airport in Japan, and I saw a remote area of Tokyo, and I took it for granted that Tokyo was just that. Today, I walked into the central area of Tokyo and experienced its prosperity. It was already more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon after walking around the shopping street, and the stomachs of the eight of us began to growl. So I chose a restaurant on the side of the road and asked for a bowl of seafood noodles per person. The 50 yuan rice has eggs and a few slices of meat, and it tastes good after entering the mouth.
When I first walked into the noodle restaurant, my broken Japanese came in handy, and after a brief conversation with the restaurant owner, I learned that the place to eat was on the second floor, so I led everyone up to the second floor. After eating, I walked downstairs and chatted with the boss again, and learned that there was a Chinese working in this restaurant, and this compatriot was busy and could not talk. Later, when we left the restaurant, the owner of the restaurant smiled and took the initiative to say goodbye to me warmly in Japanese, and I also warmly said goodbye to him in Japanese.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, 8 of us returned to the hotel at the end of the day's free trip, congratulated each other on the successful conclusion of the free trip, and wished the next trip more exciting and successful. When I returned to the hotel at night to settle the account, I spent nearly 800 yuan for two people a day of free travel, which means that one person is 400 yuan a day. Among them, the transportation cost accounts for the majority, and after experiencing it in person, I still feel that it saves money and worry with a group tour, and the cost of independent travel is not to mention the cost.
