Japan: A position that brings a lot of nostalgia to me 43 years on this planet!
My first flight went to the Emerging Sun land in October 2005, for an automatic education allocation of 2 weeks. Since then, I have traveled several times in Japan and lived in Tokyo with my circle of relatives for several years. My official passage ended in 2016, when I made the decision to return to Kochi, India, permanently. Since then, a itching to make a brief stop was still there for me, my wife and my 2 young people (the old man was born in a hospital in Tokyo).
This dream for a brief stop at Materialized in April 2024. About 6 months ago, we started the process of manufacturing plans. We checked the air value and were able to download the merit of an early booking (Rs. 38k for a circular holiday from Delhi via Airlines). Since we had already lived in Tokyo, we were absolutely confused about the manufacturing planning phase. We made the decision to have interaction on a 12-day tour. The higher level plan was a stop at the puts we missed before, as well as that Restopover ating surely gets more than the older ones so that our young adults can now revel in them.
The summary of the is as follows:
By the way, we travelled from Kochi to Delhi and visited Agra on a day trip, before boarding the flight to Tokyo, just to tick-off Taj Mahal from our bucket list.
2-April Tuesday 1. He landed at Tokyo Haneda airport around 5:30 a. m. It was a direct flight from Delhi last night. By the way, Tokyo has 2 airports: Narita and Haeda. Narita is a 90 -minute bus and Haneda is about 30 minutes from the city center. The airport selection depends on the airline. 2. He took the “airport limousine” on the bus to the Shinjuku station. 3. Visit of the city of Chofu (the hospital where my eldest son was born), Tsutsujigaoka (old apartment position and the suburbs that my wife loves in the heart), and other old relatives get on their way. 4. Hakone reserved train pass and train passes JR 5. Verify in the Airbnb living room. It was a delicious 1 bedroom apartment.
3-April Wednesday 1. Morning vision of the Shin-O-Kubo station where we discover many retail points of sale that promote K-Pop products (my daughters were K-pop fans, I enjoyed this visit). 2. After the Marine Vida Park of Tokyo, Odaiba. He also took the giant wheel. 3. I met my friend of the school and his circle of relatives for dinner, which was also brief in Japan.
4 -April Thursday “Hakone – on the Romanesque car train” – A charming hill station for a better day of vacation from Tokyo. The adventure begins at Shinjuku Station (Odakyu Railway Line). There is a package, which includes an exercise trip, a lake cruise, a cable car, a bus ride, and a rope, all in round vacation mode. Don’t miss out on this glorious package when you visit Tokyo.
However, the original plan for Friday, April 5 was a stop in Disneyland, however, we dropped it because my children did not need to do it. In the event that they were looking for a stop at more K-pop points and, therefore, we went to Akihabara, as well as Akihabara, as well as the Ikebukuro stations. All these positions are very simple to locate and succeed in using local trains. There was a store that sold women’s bags with a discount value and my wife ended up buying several of those bags that made us buy a new check-in luggage length to have compatibility 🙂
We make the decision to maintain our recording luggage in my friend’s apartment / former colleague because during the next few days it will be absolutely out of Tokyo doors and do not need to send those big bags and spoil the comfort.
On Saturday 6-April 6 he went to Aomori at the Shinkansen faster and longer (called Japanese for the High Speed Train), called Hayabusa. An experience. And we also travel from Aomori to Sapporo, then in Hakodate on a local train, because our rowgy was planned in Hakodate. Hakodate is a component of Hokkaido, which is the largest in the north of the Japanese archipelago. It was the winter finish and, therefore, not much snow.
Of April 7 and first day. Hakodate to Tokyo through the same path through exercise. 2. je approached the following bullet exercise to Kyoto. This was a position that we missed visiting our subtraction in Tokyo many years ago. Therefore, it has been included in the itinerary.
8-Apr Monday 1. local sight seeing @ Kyoto. We were welcomed by the beautiful sight of cherry blossom. Went for a walk and explored few places on foot. Took lots of photographs and video of full bloom cherry trees. We also opted for a city bus ride (had an open top). It was drizzling but we still enjoyed that ride. The ticket was booked using Klook App. 2. Visited the golden pavilion, Kyoto, the UNESCO world heritage site. Amazing place! 3. Finally, boarded a train to Osaka. Checked-in and took rest.
On April 9, Universal Studios visited: this the main request of my eldest daughter. So we spent the total day there. There were many walks and things to explore, however, my daughter hooked at the Harry Potter Doleading of the Park, and then we did.
10-Apr Wednesday 1. We boarded a local train to Hiroshima 2. Local sight seeing @ Hiroshima; visited the peace memorial park. Heartbreaking visuals and artifacts. A must visit for every human being, so that no more wars are fought. 3. We then took the Shinkansen to Fukuoka. Spent some time there and then returned to Hiroshima for overnight stay.
April 11 Thursday 1. They gave me the Hiroshima exercise in Fukuyama (Hello Kitty Bullet Train, a completely personalized exercise with the emblematic character “Hello Kitty”). 2. They gave me the Fukuyama exercise in Tokyo 3. Tokyo arrived in Tokyo and was recorded at a hotel near the Kinhoh station. He visited close to buying and took long -term photos of Tokyo Sky Tree.
12-April Friday 1. I went to make visits and buy edible in Asakusa 2. Purchases in Daiso (the one hundred yen) in Kinshoho himself 3. Another circular of buying edible in the region of the Tokyo Akihabara station.
April thirteen on Saturday aboard the flight back to Delhi from Haneda airport. The same day, we climb a connection flight to Kochi.
This concludes a sweet and memorable one for Japan!
Tips: 1. Take the JR rail pass before the TouchDown in Japan. You can’t buy it after TouchDown in Japan. This pass is incredibly useful if you plan higher speed exercise walks. Otherwise, for the local exercise service, I do not buy why it is not economical. 2. Visit the Japan-Guide. com online page to obtain more main points in all tourist stalls in Japan. 3. Credit cards are accepted in Japan, however, it will be intelligent if you send money, at least 10K at least May. 4. The Japanese tourist visa procedure is simple. VFS Global is the legal agency. PLEASE THEM PLEASE. The position of the visa is only RS. 16Five0 consistent with the user (Visa expenses RS. We receive the visa approved in 1 week from the presentation date. five. Never use the taxi service, unless distances of less than five to 8 km. It is too expensive. Almost all positions in Japan are connected through a giant rail network. And it is simple to use this network even without knowing the Japanese language. Please, the stop at the site discussed at point No. 2 for more main points. 6. Use the KLOOK application for charges for reduced charges by screens / parks, etc. Possibly also want this application to reserve a cabin to collect the airport and fall in case you have heavy or multiple recording bags.
Total expenses, adding the price of the plane ticket for four of us, >> approximately 600,000 rupees. I have in mind that my children are 12 and 15 years old. Therefore, the maximum of the positions in which my eldest son was thought to be an adult and, therefore, was loaded accordingly. There was no participation of agents. The holidays were completely planned and executed through us. We used to satisfied with sharing more details. Please, máceme personally.
