I only hurriedly admired most of the garden. Shikisai Hill may not be the best place to see lavender, but its colorful flower fields are one of the most splendid scenery of the summer. The few lavenders are really nothing compared to the pomp and circumstance of Farm Tomita. On the rolling hills, the purple and red are seen from afar.
It's like a fluttering streamer. Looking around, I suddenly had a feeling of "chaotic flowers gradually becoming charming eyes". Floating like a feather, easy like a yarn, fluttering and flying. Tomita Farm comes to Hokkaido to see lavender in the summer, and it is definitely not a trip that can be abandoned Tomita Farm, even if there are many tourists, but the deep and light purple under the sun is still an inseparable love in my heart.
The nearest train station to Tomita Farm, it should be a temporary station in the lavender field to take the Noroko, only 7 miles to get off, the Noroko does not belong to the JR line, it is a retro sightseeing train, the speed is slow, the interval is especially long, in order to avoid the rush of people, Anyang and Blue Whale abandoned the nearest Noroko.
Take the morning JR line to Nakafurano Station and walk for about 20 minutes to Farm Tomita. Early in the morning, I made an appointment for a taxi from JECTRA to the nearest Mimaniu station, and the empty station gate was closed, almost thinking that I had mistaken the time, but fortunately, An Yang remembered that the guide mentioned that the station had no conductor, "whoosh".
I pulled the door open with force, and the other two were sweating on their faces, okay, this is a good start, isn't it? The small and humble Mima-Ushi Station. Nakafurano Station (The old-fashioned department store diagonally across the road from the station can store luggage, there will be signs, and the grandfather inside gave a map and helped An Yang and Blue Whale draw a walking route to Tomita Farm. )
On such a good day, there were no pedestrians on the street and few vehicles, so I walked to Tomita Farm. The flowering season of lavender is very short, and although it blooms in the morning and evening depending on the variety, if you want to enjoy the full bloom of the garden, I am afraid that it is only a short 1~2 weeks in the middle and late months. or rich, or light, or budding to be released, or open to the tulip, under the sun.
The small purple flowers that shimmer with the halo are clustered into a sea of flowers, the blue sky and white clouds, the green trees and green grass, as beautiful as the Garden of Eden, the purple that spreads in the eyes and hearts is fresh and natural, as if you can smell the fragrance of flowers mixed with the smell of sunlight in the air, maybe this slightly medicinal aroma is not as sweet as the fruity sweet fragrance and clear cold fragrance.
But the clean woody fragrance is the most comfortable companion in this midsummer, leisurely, dreaming. Written with flowers and vibrant colors, this is the secret garden of gardeners. Although I like this faint lavender purple very much, the ice cream made is far inferior to the cantaloupe of Yubari. The open-air terrace and forest house of the Koji Trail shop.
The observatory overlooks Mt. Tokachi in the south, and it is also a unique beauty. The crown flowers strung with white clouds on the mountain peaks are fragrant, and the memories are slim, may this summer time last forever. 【UnionPay】Basically, large shopping malls, pharmacies, duty-free shops, etc. are marked with UnionPay, and some small shops may only be able to use cash, so you still have to exchange some yen in Japan.
【Tax refund】The Japanese tax refund is not refunded at the airport, it is refunded directly at the store where you shopped, basically the pharmacy can be refunded, and Don Quixote can definitely be refunded, but they will wrap everything you buy in plastic bags, which cannot be used before leaving Japan, so there will be troubles that the box cannot be filled.
Because it can't be dismantled, the location of the guide is not easy to take care of, but basically the four seas will not ask to see your luggage, so An Yang estimates that those human flesh Japanese purchases, are all disassembled, the first time I go or do a good brand bar, there are also some brand stores that can be tax-refunded, such as Uniqlo, Muji, etc., basically consumables over 5000 yen.
Durable goods over 10,000 yen. In some large shopping malls, after each store pays the tax included, it will go to the designated tax refund point to apply for tax refund. 【Passport Discount】Some brands will give discounts to foreign tourists, and will post "show passport" at the cashier counter to give a 95% discount (similar to this discount) Everyone remember to bring their passports when shopping, the first is because a passport is required for tax refund.
In addition, sometimes you can come across a 95% discount, full of good Oh [about Japan subway, JR, Shinkansen, etc. to buy tickets]: Japan's subway, when JR buys, first invest money - choose the number of people - choose the fare - the ticket will come out, you can first look up to see clearly, which station you want to get off at and how much fare. About Shinkansen: Japan's Shinkansen is divided into ordinary cabins and green carriages.
Ordinary cars are ordinary seats on all Shinkansen lines, with 3 seats and 2 seats in a row, similar to domestic bullet trains; The seats in the green carriage are larger and more comfortable than ordinary seats, with 4 seats in a row, 2 seats on the left and right, similar to the first-class seats of the domestic high-speed rail, and of course the price is more expensive. (When I first chose the green car, I saw that the ticket price was much more expensive than what was written on the Internet.)
At the same time, Shinkansen seats are divided into non-reserved seats and reserved seats, non-reserved seats are free to sit as soon as you get on the train, reserved seats are reserved seats, and reserved seats need to be booked in advance before boarding the train (you can choose a seat when you buy a ticket) and add a fee of several hundred yen. If you have a Japan Rail Pass, you can reserve a reserved seat for free.
It seems that the Shinkansen can't be booked online (I don't know for locals, but foreigners don't seem to be able to book online, you have to go directly to the window or Shinkansen station to buy tickets) Generally, you can use the ticket machine to buy tickets by yourself, and everyone still buys them in Japanese, because there are at least a few Chinese in Japanese, you can understand, and the station name in Japan is basically Chinese.
If you switch to English, you will not be able to understand the steps: select a non-reserved seat, reserved seat - select the type of "reserved seat" - choose the direction to take the Shinkansen - select the departure station - select the arrival station - select the date - select the time slot - select the number of people - select the shinkansen and its facilities - select the reserved seat - select the car number - select the seat.
Confirm the seat you designate - choose whether to hold a ticket - choose one-way or round-trip - confirm the content - put in cash/card and issue a ticket [Kimono experience]: Kyoto with kimono is too perfect, so there are many shops that rent kimonos, An Yang read a lot of travelogues, and after reference, he chose "Okamoto Fabric" Okamoto Textile is located in Chawanzaka, Higashiyama District, Kyoto.
The Kiyomizudera Temple neighborhood has been in business for 180 years and is the first choice for many visitors to Kyoto for kimono experiences. The page is available in Chinese, English, and Japanese, and if you make an appointment online, you will receive its reply email to prove that the appointment is successful (the appointment is in English, and the reply email to the successful appointment is also in English.) When making a reservation, be sure to choose the right store you want to go to.
Because it has four stores in Kyoto, but there are three that you can make a reservation: a 3,000 yen course: kimono + obi + handbag + sandal socks (to take away) + sandals complete course. (You can choose from 30 sets) 4000 yen course 300 sets of kimono + obi belt + handbag + white stretch socks.

A variety of special accessories are also available. Shirts can be chosen from a variety of styles of luxurious colored embroidery. There are also a variety of styles of belts and trinkets and other special accessories.
It will surely make you look beautiful and colorful. Recommended protocols. (White socks can be taken away) generally choose the formal package, anyway, the whole audience is up to you, of course, this is good! Everyone went early, first, because there were too many kimono colors inside, and it was difficult to choose, and if you went on the second night, the good-looking colors were selected.
There seem to be 6 kinds of hair to choose from, make a 500 yen, and there are also accessories on the head, but An Yang is prepared by himself, Taobao gets it, haha Opening hours: 9:00-20:00 Business hours are 20:00, and you can return it at 18:30 at the final return reception time, or you can return it at the hotel: Okamoto will send the clothes you took off to your accommodation hotel.
Return the kimono to the front desk the next day. (Generally limited to hotels in Kyoto city) However, it seems that if you charge 1,000 yen, you can return it the next day: you can return the kimono to the store the next day. (A deposit of 10,000 yen and ID required) 【Gourmet Food】In-flight meals at the time of departure, in-flight meals at the time of return, Japanese breakfast at Hotel Nikko and regular breakfast, and breakfast at JAL are included in the price.
You can choose Japanese and Eurasian breakfast, I personally feel that both are good, especially the Japanese-style brown rice is quite delicious. Ichiran Ramen Ann Yang and Blue Whale chose the Dotonbori store, address: 7-18 Soyouemoncho, Chuo-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Business hours: 24 hours; It's right on the banks of the Dotonbori river, not far from Don Quixote.
Usually you have to queue up to go, An Yang and Blue Whale go to the night in the middle of the night, no need to queue, but there are still many people; The taste is very good, and you can choose the shade according to your taste, and the hot spring egg is especially recommended. The price is about 900 yen per bowl of noodles. Octopus balls are right next to Ichiran Ramen, and there are many people lining up.
The taste is much better than the so-called octopus balls in China, and the octopus inside is also very large, with all the color, flavor and taste, so it is recommended. 500 yen a large seafood belt belt sushi restaurant Dotonbori Food Street, address: 1-7-24 Dotonbori, Chuo-ku, Osaka City, Shikailou Dotonbori ビル 1F, a lot of people line up at dinner time, very cheap and good, the most expensive is eel sushi.
It's 500 yen for half a piece, but it's really affordable, it's too cheap and too authentic than domestic sushi, and you can get a discount with the Osaka Travel Card, so it's very cost-effective. Two people eat less than 200 yuan. Pablo Flowing Cheese Tart Pablo has quite a few stores in Osaka, there are also many stores in Dotonbori, quite a big storefront, and Anyang's is bought at the store on Shinsaibashisuji shopping street.
It's really a big one, I don't like sweets very much, I'm a little tired of eating too much, and it's better to build yì multiple people to share together. Beef bowl Kyoto food, anyway, you can see Yoshida's next door to this beef bowl, the food is a bit similar to Yoshinoya, there are many flavors of beef rice, Anyang chooses cheese flavor, AA chooses kimchi flavor.
And you can choose large, medium and small bowls of beef rice, which is cost-effective. Matcha ice cream Kiyomizuji Temple down the old street to buy, as for the name of the store I don't pay much attention, but the taste is really good, the most in Japan is matcha-flavored ice cream, Anyang also fell in love with the Japanese matcha flavor after eating this. Itamae sushi was eaten downstairs at the Tokyo Hotel.
There are many restaurants around, the Itamae sushi here is not the same as that in Hong Kong, it is basically based on fish, the fish is quite fresh, but the whole fish is a bit greasy, compared to the Hong Kong Itamae sushi is delicious, the price is about 300rmb for two people. Roadside lunch: Fushimi Inari Taisha came out of the shopping street, and I found a local restaurant at random.
Tofu skin udon tastes great, and the eel rice is not very fishy, but the two fish sushi here are not used to eating, very fishy, because I can't read Japanese and don't know what kind of fish sushi it is, and the price is a bit expensive, two people eat about 3,000 yen. Baumkuchen cakes are sold at shops that buy matcha ice cream on Kiyomizuji Old Street.
But Anyang this is bought in the Kyoto Station souvenir shop, the price is a bit expensive, forget the specific price, the taste is amazing, except for the outermost layer is wrapped with matcha saccharin, too sweet, the cake inside is really delicious.
