Tokyo, a city with a history of more than 500 years, was originally a small fishing village called Edo. The real development of this city originated in 1603 when General Tokugawa Ieyasu established the shogunate in Edo. At that time, the Emperor was nominallyKyotoRuled, but the real power was in the hands of General Tokugawa Ieyasu of Edo. In 1868, during the Meiji Restoration, the Tokugawa Shogunate was overthrown. In this year, Emperor Meiji moved from Kyoto to Edo, renamed Tokyo, and became the capital in 1869. Tokyo, as the core city of Japan, is the core location of Japan's business, education, culture and government institutions. (Of course, some cities (e.g.Osaka) May criticize this statement. )

culture

Tokyo is veryhuge: It is best not to treat it as a city, but to treat it as a cluster of cities. The characteristics of each district in Tokyo are different: fromAkihabaraNoisy electronics arriveChiyodaImperial gardens and shrines; fromShibuyaAn extremely active and trendy cultural destination toAsakusaPottery shop and temple fair. If you don't like the sights before you, then jump on a train, and at the next stop, you will see something completely different.

Tokyo's huge city and rushed pace may surprise people who come to Tokyo for the first time. Most areas of the city are occupied by reinforced concrete buildings and various lines, with flashing neon lights and the shouts of tweeters everywhere. During peak hours, crowds rushed into the crowded subway, while more people hurried through the maze of subway stations. In Tokyo, don’t just follow your list of items to visit: for most tourists, the best experience of visiting Tokyo comes from walking aimlessly on the streets and feeling the endless vitality of Tokyo; freely selling all kinds of strange things. A small shop with exquisite objects; from a restaurant that doesn't know anything about the recipes or even the dishes on the plate. Tokyo is a very safe city. Tokyo people are very enthusiastic. As long as you ask them, they will spare no effort to help you.

Tourists should visit Tokyo with their budgetsEurope、North AmericawithAustraliaThe budgets of major cities are comparable. Locals in Tokyo will know where the food is good and cheap, but the more economical people can live by as long as they spend snacks. Tokyo is the most popular place to live in Japan and the fifth most expensive city in the world. The rent for a single room is about US$500 to US$1,000 per month. The population density of Tokyo is very large, and the average room area is less than 16 square meters.

climate

Tokyo has a subtropical maritime monsoon climate with four distinct seasons. Summer is generally hot and humid, with temperatures in the range of 20-30 °C, but sometimes the temperature can reach above 35 °C in summer. It is not too cold in winter, and the temperature is generally 0-10 °C, but occasionally the temperature at night will drop below zero when a cold front passes by. It rarely snows, but whenever Tokyo encounters a blizzard (once in a few years), most of the railway network is shut down. The famous cherry blossoms bloom in March-April, and many parks-withUenoThe park is the most famous, it will be covered with oilcloth, and many white-collar workers will come to get drunk and take a break during this season.

Narita International Airport and Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport) are the two main airports in Tokyo. In the past, travelers from overseas all landed at Narita Airport, but in recent years, with the expansion and re-internationalization of Haneda Airport, Haneda Airport, which is relatively close to the center of Tokyo, has gradually become a more convenient choice for travelers from Asia. Haneda Airport and many Asian cities includingShanghai、Beijing、Hongkong、TaipeiThere are direct flights

Narita International Airport

Narita AirportIt is Tokyo's most important international airport. The airport is located about 70 kilometers northeast of TokyoChiba PrefectureNarita City. The airport has two terminal buildings, which are connected to each other by a monorail and a bus.

• Bus: Time: about 120 minutes (depending on traffic conditions) / fare: ¥2,400～3,000 (adults), ¥1,200～1,500 (children)

For travelers staying in large hotels, choosing the "Limousine Bus" (Limousine Bus) that stops at the entrance of major hotels may be the easiest way. Limousine’s bus stops cover most of the major large hotels in Tokyo, as well as the neighboring Yokohama andTokyo Disney ResortRestaurant. It should be noted that although the Limousine bus has a timetable, the travel time is sometimes affected by highway traffic conditions.

• Express train：Time: about 45～55 minutes / fare: ¥1,280～2,940

Choosing to take the limited express train is the fastest way to travel between Narita Airport and the city. There are three limited express train routes from Narita Airport to Tokyo, namely the "Skyliner" and "ACCESS Express" operated by Keisei Electric Railway, and the "Narita Express" (N'EX) operated by JR East. Skyliner will stop at Ueno and Nippori stations, and it takes about 40 minutes. The ACCESS limited express stops at more stations, including Asakusa, Higashi Ginza, Shimbashi, Shinagawa... etc. It takes about 40 to 60 minutes.

Unless in a very hurry, almost no ordinary passenger will take a taxi to the city.

Domestic traffic

Narita Airport to Tokyo City

Narita International AirportIt is far away from downtown Tokyo. No matter which mode of transportation is listed below, the transportation itself will take more than an hour. If you consider the time from where you live to the station/buy a ticket/find the correct departure point (Tokyo’s subways and train stations are not only very large, but the layout is like a maze. Finding the correct departure point is more difficult than you can imagine). It usually takes more than 2 hours from the airport to downtown Tokyo (or from the city to the airport).

taxi

If there is no special reason, taking a taxi from the airport to downtown Tokyo (or the opposite direction) is not a suitable choice for ordinary tourists. Narita Airport is about 70 kilometers away from downtown Tokyo, so taxi fares are very expensive and there are frequent traffic jams on the road. It may be more economical to choose the other transportation methods described below.

If you must take a taxi, there are two forms of fare. Some taxi companies charge a fixed fare based on the area you are going to. Generally, the price to downtown Tokyo is about 20,000 (20,000) yen. In addition, some taxi companies use taximeters, and the fare to downtown Tokyo is about 30,000 yen. In addition, no matter what kind of taxi you take, you will generally cross the toll highway, and the passenger will also need to pay the fee.

JR train

JR has two trainsNarita International Airport. The cheaper one is the ordinary train. The fare from the airport to downtown Tokyo is about 1,200 yen, and it takes about 80 minutes. Because it is an ordinary train, it will stop at all stations along the way. Passengers may not always have seats, and there is no place to enlarge luggage. It will become more crowded during peak hours.

The other is the airport special line-Narita Express (N'EX) specially prepared for the airport. This car only stops at Tokyo Central Station and Shinjuku Station (and Yokohama Station). It costs 2,940 yen to reach downtown Tokyo, and it takes about 55 minutes. Each passenger will have a fixed seat, and there will also be a place for luggage. This train is much more comfortable than ordinary trains, and it takes less time, but the price is also more expensive. JR East (JR east) will sell an airport special line package-"Suica & N'EX" which is only sold to foreign tourists at the airport. It includes a round-trip ticket for N'EX, and a Suica card with a deposit of 1,500 yen and 500 yen (Suica card is a card that can be recharged, and the money in the card can be used to travel in Tokyo and surrounding areas For public transportation, you can also buy things in many stores that accept Sucia. Suica cards can be used in most convenience stores and shops in JR train stations, so you don’t have to worry about spending the money in the card). When you don’t need a Suica card, you can go to the JR ticket office to refund your card, and the card’s deposit of 500 yen will be refunded to you in full. In addition, the balance in the card will also be refunded to you, but a handling fee of about 200 yen will be charged. If the balance in the card is less than 200 yen, this balance will be used as a handling fee and not refunded to you. You can completely spend your balance at the convenience store before returning the card, so you don't have to pay a handling fee. There are two types of Suica & N'EX, and the price is 5,500 yen for round trip and 3,500 yen for one way. If you subtract Suica’s 2,000 yen, you only need to spend 3,500 yen/1,500 yen to get a round-trip/one-way ticket to N’EX, which is much cheaper than buying a N’EX ticket. . If you want to go to Shinjuku from the airport or transfer to other lines of JR, this package should be your best choice.

Keisei Line Train

Similar to JR, Keisei Train also has two types of trains that connect downtown Tokyo. One is an ordinary train, the price is about 1,200 yen, and the running time is about 65 minutes. The other is the special airport express-Skyliner, the fare is 2,400 yen, and the running time is about 50 minutes. Because the end of the Keisei train is Ueno, if you want to go to Ueno or need to change to the Tokyo subway, Keisei may be more convenient than JR.

Also note that Keisei and JR are two different companies, and they are not together at the airport station. Therefore, you need to find the corresponding station according to the car you want to do. The signs inside Narita Airport are very clear and it is very easy to find the corresponding station.

Airport bus

Narita Airport also has an airport limousine bus directly to major hotels in downtown Tokyo. It costs 3,000 yen and takes about 90 minutes. If you have a lot of luggage, or you don’t know how to get from Tokyo Metro Station to your accommodation, you can choose to take the airport bus.

Notice:

• If you need to change trains in Tokyo subway or JR stations, you need to be aware that not all platforms and exits have elevators. If your luggage is heavy, you may be more tired.
• If you choose to take JR or Keisei trains to Narita Airport, you should note that Narita Airport has two terminals (Terminal 1 and Terminal 2). The train also has two corresponding stations. You must know in advance which terminal you are going to take, so that you can get off at the correct station.
• Tokyo’s subway and JR stations are very large and crowded. Each station has multiple different exits. You must know which exit your residence is closest to (this information is generally available on the website of a hotel). If you go out from the wrong exit, even if you can find your place, it may not be an easy task.

Narita Airport to Haneda Airport

If you take an international flight to Tokyo and then transfer to a domestic flight, you may need toNarita International AirportarriveHaneda International AirportTurnaround. The distance between the two airports is very long, and the time on the road is at least about one and a half hours. If you also consider the check-in time, if your flight interval is less than 3 hours, you will most likely miss the plane you want to transfer.

taxi

If there is no special reason, taking a taxi from Narita International Airport to Tokyo International Airport (or the opposite direction) is not a suitable choice for ordinary tourists. Narita Airport is about 70 kilometers away from downtown Tokyo, plus the distance from the downtown area to Tokyo International Airport, so taxi fares are very expensive and there are frequent traffic jams on the road. It may be more economical to choose the other transportation methods described below.

Airport bus

There is an airport bus from Narita Airport to Haneda Airport. The departure time is about 15-20 minutes and the fare is 3,000 yen. If there is no traffic jam, it takes about 70 minutes from Narita to Haneda. But there will be frequent traffic jams during peak hours, so the time required may be 2 hours, sometimes even 3 hours. The advantage of choosing an airport bus is that it is convenient, do not change cars, but the disadvantage is that the price is not cheap, and there is no guarantee for the time required on the road when there is a traffic jam.

Keisei Train

At the Keisei Station of Narita Airport, there is a train to Haneda Airport (Narita SKY ACCESS Line, or Keisei Main Line). The time required is about 80 minutes, and the ticket price is about 1,300 yen. The Narita SKY ACCESS Line does not need to change trains, and the Keisei Main Line needs to change trains at the Aoto station. The advantage of choosing Keisei is that the price is cheap and the time required on the road is guaranteed. The disadvantage is that the trains are all ordinary trains and will stop at many stations, so they sometimes become very crowded. Although the Narita SKY ACCESS Line does not need to change trains, it is gone at about 2:45 pm. You need to take the Keisei Main Line, which requires changing trains at the Aoto station.

JR train Tokyo Monorail

At the JR station of Narita Airport, you can take a JR train to Tokyo Station or Shinagawa Station, then change to a regular JR train to Hamamatsucho Station, and then change to the Tokyo Monorail to Haneda Airport. The ticket price of the Tokyo Monorail is around 460 yen. If you buy the "Suica & N'EX" package introduced earlier, the fare from Narita Airport to Hamamatsucho Station is 1,500 yen, so the total price is about 2,000 yen. It takes about one and a half hours from Narita to Hamamatsucho Station (you need to change trains at Tokyo Station or Shinagawa Station), and the time from Hamamatsucho Station to Haneda is about 25 minutes. The total time is a little over 2 hours. The advantage of choosing this method is that the price is moderate and the time on the road is guaranteed. If you use Narita Express (N'EX) from Narita Airport to Tokyo Station or Shinagawa Station, the car you take is a train dedicated to the airport, which is very comfortable. The disadvantage is that you need to change the car twice.

About Haneda Airport

In the impression of non-Japanese people, Japan’s Shinkansen trains are very developed, so there may not be many people taking domestic planes in Japan. In fact, Haneda Airport is a major domestic airport in Japan (Haneda also has an international airport). There are also a lot of people there, and the level of crowding is not inferior to that of the Shinkansen station. Like major train stations in Japan, Haneda Airport also has many shops and restaurants. The difference is that the center of the building where the train station is located is the train station, with shops and restaurants on the periphery, while the center of Haneda Airport is the shop and restaurant, with check-in counters and boarding gates on the periphery. Therefore, Haneda Airport feels more like a mall with airport facilities than an airport with shops.

There is an observation deck on the top floor of Haneda Airport, which is worth a visit. There you can see the full picture of the airport and the Tokyo city in the distance. With good visibility, Mount Fuji can be seen on the observation deck of Haneda International Airport.

Work

Shopping

Dining

First introduce some information related to the cost of eating.

In the common people’s impression of Japan, Tokyo in particular is a place where the cost of living is very high. The average income level of the Japanese is very high, even if compared with developed countries in Europe and America, their salary levels are among the best. In addition, Japan has done a very good job in distributing social wealth. Generally speaking, the gap between the rich and the poor in Japan is not large. When it comes to food-related aspects, the income of Japanese farmers, fishermen, and other food-related workers should not be too far from the income of ordinary urban office workers. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that the cost of the Japanese catering industry is very high.

However, this is not to say that dining in Tokyo is necessarily very expensive. The food and entertainment industry in Japan is very developed and competition is fierce. Because of this, there are a large number of foods with different consumption levels to choose from in Tokyo. From convenience store lunch boxes for one to two hundred yen, ramen noodles and beef rice for five to six hundred yen, sushi and beef hot pot for several thousand yen per person, to expensive high-end restaurants (and of course there are Fast food chains such as McDonald's and KFC), tourists can have endless choices according to their spending plans. In addition, the Japanese are very picky about food, so even very cheap foods are of very high quality.

The following are the approximate prices of some common foods for reference

• Instant noodles and seaweed rice balls sold at convenience stores: around 200 yen
• Bottled mineral water and green tea drinks sold by vending machine: around 150 yen
• Bananas sold at convenience stores: one for 100 yen, three for 190 yen
• Ramen on the street, beef noodles at Yoshinoya: about 500 yen
• Lunch at restaurants in high-end office buildings and shopping malls: around 2,000 yen per person
• Beef hot pot in mid-range restaurants: around 5,000 yen per person
• Sushi at a sushi restaurant: The sushi price quoted by a sushi restaurant refers to a piece of sushi instead of a piece of sushi, and usually ranges from 200 yen to 900 yen. If you have two people and you order one type of sushi, the sushi chef will give you two, so that its actual price is twice the marked price (unless you speak Japanese and tell the chef to only serve one. The average sushi chef only Can speak Japanese). Therefore, the price required for a la carte sushi may be quite different from what you imagine in advance. A general sushi restaurant will have a set menu that combines several different types of sushi, usually 3,000 to 4,000 yen. This kind of set meal is just like the à la carte sushi. It is fresh sushi made on the spot, and you can know the price you want to pay in advance.

Safety Precautions

Japan is generally regarded as a developed country with an excellent level of public security. Regarding the safety conditions and precautions in the Tokyo area, the highest guideline for tourists is to "follow Japanese living standards and unspoken rules."

railway

There are many railway stations in the Tokyo area that simultaneously deal with multiple vehicle models of multiple railway lines. Therefore, some platforms at some stations do not have screen doors (such asShinjuku Station). Remember to keep a certain distance from the edge of the site when there is a lot of people to prevent falling.

entertainment

In order to prevent legal disputes and property safety, please proceed with cautionKabukichoDo not blindly follow the trend as the representative custom amusement area. If you have a strong hope for sightseeing, you can choose some shops with good reputations for sightseeing.

Campus visit

• When visiting some open universities in Tokyo, please avoid the construction area to prevent personal injury. For example, the Faculty of Agriculture, Faculty of Engineering, Building No. 2, Building 2 of the Faculty of Engineering at the Hongo Campus of the University of Tokyo will all start in 2020. Earthquake fortifications are overhauled for half a year, and tourists are not allowed to enter the construction area without authorization.

• As a courtesy, tourists are also not allowed to enter the campus teaching building without authorization and hunt wild animals (such as crows, geese, sparrows), and cannot occupy the venue for group photos during school activities, otherwise they may be expelled by the campus police, sent to the police station or even deport.

Politics and law

Mainland Chinese tourists in the Tokyo area need to respect the political inclination of Japanese locals and other international friends, and do not go thereYasukuni ShrineCultural attractions such as the Meiji Jingu Shrine, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum enthusiastically express their political inclination and fight, otherwise they may be fined, deported or even sent to court.

The laws of Japan are different from those of tourists' home countries, so please pay attention to understand some of the laws unique to Japan to avoid unnecessary troubles.

Life

• Please note that the escalators in the Tokyo area need to stand on the left to give way to the right area, so that people in a hurry can climb the stairs quickly. However, the left side of the station or the right side of the station depends on where the first lucky user to use this elevator stands on the day, so the specific situation requires a specific station position. Although Japan is now advocating not to give up half of the vacant space to reduce the one-sided wear of the elevator, if the people in front of you let it out, it is better for tourists to go to the countryside and follow the customs.
• Once again, as tourists, please do not hunt and kill wild animals, otherwise the cost is far greater than the tourists think.

Medical treatment

The price of medical services in Japan is too expensive for tourists from developing countries.

According to the recommendations of the Japanese Embassy in China, all tourists should purchase insurance services in the travel schedule in advance. As a popular tourist destination in Japan, there are currently many insurance companies that provide Japanese travel insurance, and both Chinese and Japanese local insurance companies have corresponding packages.

If you feel unwell in Japan, you may need to go to a specialized clinic in the community first, and then to a more professional hospital depending on the situation. Because the time for medical services is very tight for patients, and the medical procedures in Japan are different from those in other countries, it is very necessary for tourists to have a level of Japanese proficiency in the process of receiving Japanese medical services on their own.

If the Japanese is not good enough, depending on the type of insurance purchased by the tourist, you may be able to call the insurance company that provides medical matching services. If you think you have a need, please pay attention to whether the insurance company provides this service when purchasing insurance.

Japan's medical visa-related materials do not belong to the scope of tourism. You can refer to the relevant regulations of the Immigration Bureau of the Ministry of Justice of Japan on medical visas.

Communication

NTT Docomo、SoftbankWaiting for Japanese telecom operators to provide 4G data cards with unlimited data, ranging from 3 days to 15 days for foreign tourists. These cards can be used nationwide, not just in Tokyo.

Simple data cards do not provide the function of making calls. Therefore, users of data cards are recommended to use those network communications that use data data to make calls, such as Skype, LINE CALL, WeChat phone, etc. The calling card that provides the function of making calls requires further consultation with the corresponding operator.

The price of the data card is about ￥5CNY/day (the price will fluctuate, so it is for reference only).
