Foreigners in Japan usually shop for cosmeceutical products full yen, electronic products and other full yen can enjoy tax exemption, Japan's consumption tax is %, plus the current exchange rate of RMB against the yen is very cost-effective, no wonder so many Chinese people rush to sweep the goods. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info here to share a few experiences for your reference: electronic products.

Huaguo aunt's favorite rice cooker and toilet lid and other things, please go to the chain of electrical appliances stores will be cheaper, mainly yodobashicamera and forced camera, these two are in major cities, and more than one, similar to Huaguo's Suning and Gome, but the price of each store is still different.

Friends can shop around. What's more, these two chains generally also have a % discount on UnionPay cards or Visa cards, plus tax exemptions, at least cheaper. Yunluo is going to complain a little here, and there are many large chain electrical appliance duty-free shops in Japan, and the things in them are also very complete.

For example, there are several shops in Akihabara alone. However, according to the observation of Yunluo and An Chuyu, the price of goods here is really not good. Yunluo and An Chuyu actually verified the label price of the same digital camera, and the price of the store bought by Yunluo and An Chuyu is more than one yen, and their home is.

Yunluo and An Chuyu saw that there were many buses parked on the side, and many Huaguo uncles and aunts walked around carrying rice cookers. Without explaining cosmeceuticals and haberdashery, you will see many cosmeceutical chain stores in Japan, similar to small supermarkets in Huaguo, which can be found everywhere, and there are many things that can be bought in addition to cosmeceuticals, such as baby products.

Thermos mugs, pantyhose and more. The price of specific items in drugstores varies greatly, and in general, prices in Tokyo are higher than those in Osaka and Kyoto, but the specific items are not always available. Yunluo and An Chuyu buy cosmeceuticals mainly in Kyoto and Osaka, and Matsu touches Tokiyoshi's chain stores to buy more, according to Ann Chuyu's experience living in Japan.

The price of their house is relatively cheap, and the price of the same chain store near the busy section of the main road will be slightly higher. Here again, I want to complain about the birds. An Chuyu said that there is a supermarket chain in Japan that is super cheap. So Yunluo and An met for the first time in Dotonbori, Osaka, and when they saw a family, they went in.

It turned out that the price was completely unreliable. For the same thermos cup, the electric appliance city and the drugstore are less than yen, and the price there is actually close. Still don't explain. Shopping malls, Japan's big shopping malls Yunluo and An Chuyu also visited a few. Such as Takashimaya, Isetan, Daimaru, etc., if there are no special events and discounts in the mall.

The price does not have much advantage over the domestic one, except that it can be refunded. Yes, shopping at the mall is usually tax-free if you buy a full amount of yen, not a direct tax-free. Pay the full amount first, then go to the designated counter to apply for a tax refund, and pay you back the cash directly. A different reminder: Riding the escalator in Japan is something that you will definitely encounter when traveling.

First of all, everyone will consciously queue up to take the escalator, and only occupy one side, freeing up the other half for those who need to pass quickly. It should be noted here that the habit of taking elevators in the Kanto region and the Kansai area is different, with the Kanto station on the left and the Kansai station on the right. There are very few garbage cans on Japanese streets, and they are usually found in front of convenience stores.

No one eats while walking, so try to follow the locals. You can bring some garbage bags with you for later use. You may not have noticed that there are many super human things in Japan. For example, in order to take care of the blind in Japan, traffic lights at intersections are used for pedestrians in the east-west and north-south directions.

The alert sound is different (this may not be useful to everyone). Useful is that there are luggage lockers at all stations, so you need to put in coins in Japanese yen, so in case you don't have enough coins, there is a coin exchange machine on the side. Recommended shopping spot: Shinkyogoku, Shijo, Kyoto. Clothes can be purchased here.

Perfumes, cosmeceuticals, and souvenirs. There is basically everything, a bit like the feeling of a small commodity market, there are many small shops in it, and it is very cost-effective. The specific location is easy to find, the entrance is on Shijodori Street, not far from the Daimaru Department Store. Japanese hotels are a little different from those in China. Hotel rates are differentiated by the number of occupants.

The price of one room is different from that of two people, and the hotel room rate is separated from the breakfast fee, so I have to say that the cost of breakfast in Japanese hotels is expensive, but considering that it is the first day of the trip to Japan. Specially requested extra breakfast when booking a room. Breakfast at Hilton Nagoya is average value for money.

In fact, I personally recommend that when booking a hotel, you should not book breakfast for the time being, and there are many convenience stores on the streets of Japan, such as Fa Fan Lymart and Lason, where the food is inexpensive, nutritious and has a lot of choices. The small Japanese fresh meat in the hotel lobby is a variety of saliva. After breakfast, while waiting for the hotel shuttle bus, you can walk around the hotel.

Clean and tidy streets. There are all kinds of elegant cafes, and all kinds of envy and jealousy of the beauty of Japanese life. Starbucks, across the road from the hotel, would have rushed in to buy a drink if it hadn't been for the fact that I had just finished breakfast. Vending machines on the streets of Japan are almost the same price across the country, whether they are airports or stations.

Think about the black-hearted price of our Tianchao Airport Station, all kinds of tears. The vending machine that sells cigarettes has a relatively balanced price, RMB - yuan a pack, and they feel that smoking is just a need for them, not the so-called face. Nagoya is the capital of Aichi Prefecture in Japan, and is also known as "Chukyo" because it is located between Tokyo and Kyoto.

Nagoya has a strong history, and the three heroes of Japan's Warring States period, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, were all born here. Ruins such as Nagoya Castle, Atsuta Jingu, and Tokugawaen Garden record the history of Japan's Warring States period. Nagoya has a large concentration of sightseeing spots and a well-developed transportation system, so you can see Nagoya in one day.

Nagoya Castle, along with Osaka Castle and Kumamoto Castle, is one of Japan's three most famous castles, and was originally built by Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the castle tower was the place where the Tokugawa family lived for three generations. Admission fee in yen. Access: 5-minute walk from the Meijo Line "City Hall" bus stop, or "Asamacho" bus stop on the Tsurumai Line (1-minute walk).

Nagoya Castle was rebuilt after World War II destruction, and an elevator was added to take you directly to the top of the castle tower to see the museum's artefacts. The most famous golden shark in Nagoya Castle, the Japanese kanji (pronounced shahi, shahihoko), was used as a fire prevention charm to decorate the girders, and later became a symbol of the castle lord's full strength.

It takes about an hour to visit Nagoya Castle. It is said that in March, many cherry blossoms bloom in Nagoya Castle, and the castle walls are in full bloom. It is the most beautiful time in Nagoya Castle. On Saturdays and holidays, Ninomaru also has a popular performance by the Sengoku military generals who play Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga, and it is very lively.

Atsuta Jingu Shrine is one of Japan's oldest and most prestigious shrines, and is steeped in history. It is famous for enshrined in the Grass Pheasant Sword, one of Japan's three major artifacts, but the artifact is not on display. Historic sites such as the Twenty-Five Castle Bridge and Sakuma Lantern are scattered here, and the main attraction for Atsuta Jingu is the Treasure Hall, which houses many antiques.

Works of art and classical documents, as well as Nobunaga screens donated after the victory of Oda Nobunaga after the Battle of Sayama. Atsuta Jingu Shrine is free to visit. The treasure hall is in yen, and it takes about an hour to play. Tokugawaen Garden originated from the second generation of the Tokugawa clan in search of a secluded place to build a garden, and it is a typical pond strolling garden in Japanese gardens.

Taking advantage of the elevation difference in the topography, the natural forest has been well preserved, and a three-dimensional rock group has been formed. Inside, the Tokugawa Museum of Art and the Hozo Bunko house houses Tokugawa relics and the National Treasure "The Tale of Genji" flower scroll. The garden pass is in yen, and it takes about an hour to play. Japan's first main meal, eel rice in yen.

I have to say that there is some luxury. This is Nagoya's most famous food, and it is eaten in a very particular way, starting with the eel rice in a bowl, tasting the eel and sauce, and then tossing it with seaweed, core sesame and green shiso. Enjoy the refreshing taste and finish with chopped green onions, wasabi, and hot soup for eel chazuke.

In the afternoon, take the train from Nagoya Station to Gifu. Transportation Guide: Nagoya is the main hub of the Shinkansen, depending on the speed and fare, Nagoya is still the nearest transit station to the Takayama Hida Mountains, there are trains and special lines to and fro, the Hida Express takes hours and minutes, about yuan. The specific frequency and timetable are not handled by the Nagoya subway as it is in Tokyo.

Nagoya offers a one-day all-you-can-ride subway bus discount ticket, which can be purchased at a subway station ticket vending machine or from the bus driver, and is a one-day subway ticket for adults and children. Adult yen for a one-day pass for subway buses. Portrait of Oda Nobunaga on a bus on the streets of Gifu. The famous Japanese novelist Shohachi Yamaoka wrote a series of historical hours on a grand scale.

The history of Oda Nobunaga, Toyoshiro Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu and other heroes in the middle and late Warring States period of Japan is vigorously spread. If you are interested in children's shoes, you can find out and take a look. The Gifu Grand Hotel, where I stayed on the second day in Japan, should be said to be the best hotel in Gifu City, away from the city of Gifu and close to the Nagara River. Amazing scenery around.

The appearance of the hotel is very modern, but the interior decoration is Japanese-style, especially the room, the first time to stay in a Japanese-style room, it is also a variety of small excitement. It's finally time to soak in the hot springs, probably because of the daytime. There are not many people who bathe, and most Japanese people soak in hot springs at night and early the next morning. Before the Japanese hot springs, there were all kinds of imaginations, what kind of naked running, what kind of unisex bathing......

In fact, most of the hot springs are separated from men and women, and by definition they are bathhouses, but the difference is the hot spring water that is introduced, so there is not much point in bringing a swimsuit. I have to say that Japanese massage is not generally expensive, should you consider starting a business if you have business opportunities and foresight? The hot spring soaking time should not be too long, about half an hour, otherwise you will not only feel tired.

Dehydration can also be severe, so change into a Japanese kimono, sit cross-legged, make sencha, and enjoy the trip. The Nagara River is right outside the hotel, and there are many local tourists playing by the river, most of them are barbecued by the river, and I feel that little Japan will really enjoy life. The Nagara River, the most famous river in Japanese history, once took place here, but it is now more famous for its hot springs.

When I was about to go out to forage for food, I came across the light of the setting sun. A lot of people are still playing with a little fresh, and they are also all kinds of drunk. A full table is only in yen, which can be said to be extremely rich, because I rarely eat Japanese food in China, so when the boss brings the food, the camera can be said to be busier than people, all kinds of clicks. A brief review of Gifu Grand Hotel.

The best hot spring hotel in Gifu, plus it is the Golden Week in Japan, so the hotel is also full, the hotel is in a great environment, but the traffic is far from the city, the hotel has multiple free shuttle buses to Gifu city every day, and Gifu Station also has a bus road to reach the hotel. The hotel service is very much appreciated. Of course, the hotel's hot springs are the main focus, and they are free to use, but there is an additional entrance fee of yen per person.

The only inconvenient thing is the catering, the hotel itself has a restaurant, and at the same time there is an izakaya on the ground floor to evaluate consumption, but at the time I thought the hotel's catering was very expensive, and it took at least five minutes to walk to the nearest restaurant nearby.

Before staying at Gifu Station, I woke up early in the morning. I decided to go to the hot springs, I thought it would be quiet, but I didn't expect that there were already a lot of people in the hot springs, and I thought it was part of their culture or lifestyle. Check out at almost 8 o'clock. I took the hotel shuttle bus to Gifu city and wanted to check in at the hotel where I stayed overnight.

As a result, I was told that I could not check in until after 3 p.m., and the waiting time was too long, so I decided to go to Gujo Hachiman to have a look. Access: Take the JR Tokaido Shinkansen from Tokyo Station to Nagoya Station for about an hour and minutes, 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 Maibara Station for about minutes. Then transfer to the JR Tokaido Line to Gifu Station for about minutes, then transfer to the JR Takayama Main Line to Mino Ota Station for about minutes. Take the Nagaragawa Railway from Mino-Ota Station to Gujo-Hachiman Station for about an hour and minutes. It takes about an hour by car from Gifu Station.

The fare is one-way in Japanese yen, round trip in Japanese yen. In fact, I don't know anything about Hachiman in the county, and my friends have never been there, so I probably know that it is an ancient town, and for Yunluo, who has always lived in the water town of Jiangnan, there is no expectation. But after arriving, it was so close to the mountains and rivers, but it made Yunluo's eyes shine in all kinds of ways. Hachiman, Gujo.

It is roughly located in the center of Okumino in the center of Gifu Prefecture. Where the upper reaches of the Nagara River meet the Yoshida River, a tributary, is the "Joshita Town" (a town centered on the residence of the princes) of Hachiman Castle in Gujo, which was built in the century. The red-shell lattice of the street is still preserved to this day. The current Hachiman Castle was rebuilt at the beginning of the century, and there are many weapons and equipment from the time on display in the castle tower.

Almost every house has such a sculpture in front of the door, and it is not difficult to see the preference for dogs here. After seeing that there were many hotels in Gujo Hachiman, Yunluo and his friends also regretted it in their hearts, because the night's accommodation was in Gifu City, and Gujo Hachiman was in the middle of Gifu and tomorrow's destination, which means that Yunluo and An had to rush back to Gifu in the afternoon when they first met.

Then, tomorrow, we will rush from Gifu to Takayama and then pass through Gujo Hachiman, which is more of a toss-up. It is estimated that such a mini car can only be found in Japan. It's delicious time on the tip of the tongue again. I deliberately chose a restaurant with a more elegant environment, and the young proprietress was enthusiastic and beautiful, which made people a little confused.

In fact, I was worried that this was a tourist area, and it would inevitably not be slaughtered. Later, after reading the menu, I found that it was completely unnecessary to worry, in fact, the whole day of Japan, I found that the food in Japan is about the same price, regardless of whether it is an airport station or a tourist area or an ordinary street. Very famous for very beef. Although its reputation is not as good as that of Kobe beef.

However, Hida beef can be seen everywhere throughout Central Japan, and it has to be said that it is very tender and delicious, and at the same time, it is very cheap, so a large plate costs only Japanese yen. The little friend ordered it, and it just looks good. Personal feelings. For many Japanese people who run restaurants, they are basically family-run, and the times have been passed down for decades.

Carefully prepare food for customers, service enthusiasm and humility, especially for the young proprietress optimistic, giving people the feeling that there should be better development, but they are persistent in devoting themselves to the family's business, and feel that they are very satisfied with the business in front of them, rather than thinking about opening branches and franchises, to a certain extent.

Such a life is enviable. The fire is a big K cuisine, and the friends who pass by Gujo Hachiman in the future are highly recommended to come to this store. In the summer, there is a night of dancing in the county, and on the first day, it is called an all-night dance, and from night to early morning the next day, tourists also participate in the dance delicious potato cake for one yen.

Returning to Gifu City at 5 p.m., the hotel feels very modern, not at all like a ryokan, or a hot spring hotel in the more accurate definition. The hotel is located in a very modern building in front of Gifu Station, check-in is in the building, and the decoration environment etc is very exquisite.

The downside is that the rooms are very small. The hotel offers free hot springs, and the environment is more elaborate than the previous hotel. Most of the guests come to the hot springs at night or early the next morning, and there are almost no people during the day. I chose this izakaya because it was full of guests, and because of the large wooden barrels.

Japanese barbecue is made in this way, but of course there are also those that are grilled over a slow fire. Watching Japanese movies, Japanese men like to go to an izakaya after work to sit for a while and order a glass of wine to relieve the pressure of work and life. I feel that the amount of food in Japan is very small, and the things ordered at the izakaya are also very small, and most of them are a sake with a small one.

So I didn't even order side dishes. Such an atmosphere does make people feel the pressure of life, so people really need to relieve themselves of the pressure of the house and find some fun for themselves, even if these fun costs money. The chances of encountering a beautiful waitress at an izakaya are particularly high, and it is said that in Japan, there is not much difference in income between different jobs, except for lawyers and doctors.
