Travel guide to Japan in November Detailed guide to independent travel in Japan

Japan in November 2017 is full of the coolness of autumn. The climate here is slightly different from that in China. A kind of bone-chilling cold appears from time to time, making your whole body tremble. At this moment, Japan’s attractions She is also very beautiful and shy. Let me share with you my travel guide to Japan in November.

When it comes to Japan, many people become angry youths, holding high the banner of criticism, talking about the Sino-Japanese War and the anti-Japanese war with passion.

Confucius said: "Virtue is not alone, it must have neighbors." We should remember history, knowing shame is almost courageous, but we should also face reality and recognize Japan's development. I have long heard that Japan is highly civilized, that there are no trash cans and no garbage on the streets, that Japanese people speak and behave politely, and that Japanese products are superior, but I have never believed it.

So it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. At the end of this year’s winter vacation, my mother and I went to Japan under the guidance of a tour group. In seven days, we embarked on a journey of "knowing each other." "Journey.

In seven days, we visited Nagoya, Nara, Osaka, Kyoto, Mount Fuji, and Tokyo. Although the feeling of traveling with a group is to stop and go, the cost-effectiveness of overseas group travel is definitely better than that of domestic tours. I have gained real benefits in terms of food, accommodation, transportation and my overall impression of Japan.

The five words "jing", "pure", "quiet", "small" and "ceremony" are enough to sum it up.

Impression one: Fine

Nagoya Airport

The trip started when we landed at Nagoya Central Japan Airport. The tour guide came to pick us up. The first thing he did was talk to us Talk about Japanese toilets. We have long heard about the advancement of toilet seats in Japan, but when I saw Japanese toilets myself, I felt that the cleanliness of the toilets was not a problem. Looking at toilet paper and toilets, I thought it was very shocking.

First of all, in China, you cannot throw toilet paper into the toilet. If everyone throws it in, it will definitely be blocked. But in Japan, their toilet paper is soluble. If you need to use it, you can just throw it into the toilet and flush it. There is only one layer of toilet paper, as thin as a cicada's wings, but there is no scraps of paper. Moreover, the paper is flexible and slightly yellow in color. It is different from domestic paper that is whitewashed and falls apart when thrown into the toilet. The tour guide told us that this is pure wood pulp paper without fluorescent whitening agent. Japan’s sewers are well repaired and the water pressure is sufficient, so there will be no blockage.

The second is the toilet. Not only is it clean, but when you sit on it, the toilet seat is warm. There are many prompts on the side, such as water temperature, water potential, forward flush, back flush, cycle flush, etc., which is very convenient and convenient. Comfortable. The tour guide said that Japan uses toilets this way not only for cleaning, but also to prevent rectal cancer. Of course, a toilet seat is not a trivial matter, but I have seen that the Japanese people's pursuit of details has reached the extreme. Their sophistication, humanity and intelligence are staggering.

Essence is also reflected in all aspects of life. Small snacks, with different shapes, fresh and pleasant; small steamed buns, each is a work of art; small pendants, depicting the image of expression and body.

Impression No. 2: Clean

Japanese Streets

Walking on the streets, I feel spotless, not a single cigarette butt, not a single Scraps of paper, a little dust. I haven’t seen the small advertisements for dog skin plasters that can be seen everywhere in China. Sometimes we bought snacks at a convenience store and wanted to throw away the packaging bags. After searching for a long time, we didn't see a trash can. The tour guide said that in Japan, in addition to some trash cans for discarding beverage bottles next to beverage vending machines, trash cans can be found in tourist attractions, but they are difficult to find in other places, including the bustling streets of Ginza and Shinjuku.

The usual practice for Japanese people is to take their garbage home, sort it into their own trash cans, and put it at the door, waiting for the garbage recycler to collect it, and at the same time get some income from selling the garbage. There will also be penalties for improper classification. When they throw garbage, it is not simply divided into recyclable and non-recyclable. For example, a discarded book must be split, and the staples and paper must be separated into garbage baskets. For a mineral water bottle, the label, bottle body and cap must be placed separately. After drinking, milk cartons must be rinsed with water before being put away so that they can be recycled into toilet paper.

On the Streets

In Japan, eating also depends on the occasion.

Unlike in China, you can see people walking around carrying food from roadside stalls. The ice cream we bought at the convenience store cannot be brought on the tour bus, including the snacks we bought. It would be embarrassing if we walked on the street to eat it. Not only would we not be able to find a trash can to throw it away after eating, but it would also fall on the ground. A few scraps would be very embarrassing.

Impression 3: Quiet

Except for the bustling downtown area, other places are quiet. Compared with the Japanese, Chinese people talk like they are quarreling. What I feel most deeply is eating in restaurants.

Our group meals were not many, and the only three or four meals we had were eaten with Chinese tourists from other tour groups. So the contrast is very strong. When Chinese people sit together, they compete over their voices and who eats more. For example, when eating at a buffet, the Chinese people stare at the plates of meat that have just been served, and they are all snatched away in a short time, while making noises. And when my mother and I were looking for restaurants to eat by ourselves, every Japanese restaurant was lively but not noisy. Even if it is a single room, you cannot make loud noises for fear of disturbing the people in the next room. When getting up to leave after a meal, Japanese people will definitely push their chairs back under the dining table.

When you go abroad, your personality represents your national character. Many public places have slogans written in Chinese characters such as "Don't make loud noises to avoid disturbing others", "Don't waste food, violators will be fined double", "Don't squat on the toilet", etc. It can be seen that Japan People understand the Chinese people in their hearts and know the qualities of the Chinese people, but they still treat each other with courtesy. This is cultivation.

Impression No. 4: Small

Japan,

Narrow streets Small, the car is short, the room is small, and the bathroom is even smaller. A standard room in an ordinary Japanese hotel has two beds side by side. There is only room for knees between the beds, and there is almost no space for a suitcase. But although the room is small, it is also very exquisite, with all the necessary daily necessities. What is particularly rare is that every hotel we stayed in for seven days has a small flashlight and a pocket refrigerator; the Japanese toilet is full with one person sitting on the toilet. The entire space, no matter how small it is, has a bathtub, and the shower gel and conditioner are all from famous brands.

Japan is small, every inch of land is precious, and most of its roads are three-dimensional, unlike those in China which are paved. As far as I can see, almost all of the cars on the road are Japanese cars, with Toyota being the most popular, but also Mazda, Nissan, Honda, Subaru, etc., but I see only a handful of luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Porsche. Moreover, the appearance of cars in Japan is different from Japanese cars in China. The models here are short and lean, with short fronts and very cute. The tour guide told us that the Japanese keep the good stuff for themselves and sell the bad stuff to others. Their good stuff is only sold locally and not exported, which is the opposite of the Chinese.

This car is only 12,000 RMB when converted into RMB

Impression No. 5: Rites

Youzi said: "The use of Rites, harmony is the most valuable. The late king This is the way to be beautiful. If you don't know how to be harmonious, it is impossible to do so without etiquette. "The Japanese are polite and self-restrained."

I remember one morning, my mother and I got up early, walked around the outside of the hotel after breakfast, and got in the car when it was time to gather. However, we forgot to return the room card to the front desk. When we got up, the car was ready to leave. Not only did the hotel not blame us, but they kept bowing to us and saying thank you

The staff at the Japanese airport greeted us with smiles , bow enthusiastically, receive passports with both hands, and speak softly to supermarket salespersons and hotel waiters, making eye contact with guests. Their humble attitude everywhere reflects that they abide by the rules, follow the rules, and treat others with courtesy.

Zigong asked Confucius: "What is it like to be poor without flattery, or to be rich without arrogance?" Confucius said: "Yes, it is not as if you are poor and happy. It means that when a person is poor, he can maintain his integrity without flattery or flattery; when he is rich and proud, he can still not be proud of others. This is already very rare. But Confucius said that we should go further and achieve poverty and happiness. It is very difficult to live in poverty. If a person is rich, he can continue to pursue knowledge and treat others politely, which is really great.

Liang Xiaosheng said, "Culture is the cultivation rooted in the heart; the consciousness without reminding; the freedom based on restraint; the kindness of thinking about others." Exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses, improving one's own cultivation, what Japan has brought to me I will remember every bit of it.
