Itinerary planning: take low-cost airlines, hotel locations, overseas network cards and transportation arrangements

1. Buy in Japan

We used to travel to Tokyo in early January 2016. The winter shopping discount season was very happy and the luggage was full. I hurriedly purchased the weight of the luggage online the night before. Therefore, my sister and my sister did not forget "Buy well in Japan" and decided early this year. Come to Tokyo for a big shopping in the first week of July to see what good things you can get from summer shopping discounts.

2. Route information

There are many options for flights from Japan to Tokyo. Just like the previous trip to Bangkok, you need a more spacious seat to go abroad with a small burger, and considering that it is difficult for the younger sister to go abroad, it is best to go early and return late to get full Full, I decided to choose Scoot; in fact, if you are more careful, you should take advantage of the traditional airline promotion. The economy class has 30 kg of checked baggage weight for each round trip, which is more convenient.

a. Traditional airlines

-Taoyuan Airport → Tokyo Narita Airport:China Airlines,EVA Air,Cathay Pacific,All Nippon Airways,Japan Airlines

– Matsuyama Airport → Tokyo Haneda Airport:China Airlines,EVA Air,All Nippon Airways,Japan Airlines

– Kaohsiung Airport → Tokyo Narita Airport:China Airlines,EVA Air,Japan Airlines

b. Low-cost airlines

-Taoyuan Airport → Tokyo Narita Airport:Tigerair Taiwan,Scoot,Vanilla Air,Jetstar Japan,Peach Airlines

– Kaohsiung Airport → Tokyo Narita Airport:Tigerair Taiwan,Vanilla Air,Peach Airlines

3. Fare Information

Since it coincides with the peak season for traveling abroad during the summer vacation, when checking the traditional airline fare in May, the economy class was about 18,000 yuan per person, which was much more than the upper limit of the budget. At this time, the benefits of low-cost airlines are here. It is cheaper to check on Scoot. , It just happened to catch the time of a few of us, and the fare per person is about 13,000 yuan, but it is still recommended that you book tickets early to save more travel expenses.

4. Hotel accommodation

In the past, Japanese travel clubs often saw the first choice for accommodation in the "Ueno Station (Park)" area. With curiosity, I chose two hotels located here, and the other two are near Otemachi and Suitengu Stations. The convenience of transportation is the first, followed by the family room type. Perhaps for readers who are planning to take their children to Tokyo, these four accommodation information can come in handy.

5. Go online abroad

When going abroad, the most commonly used Internet services are Google, FB (IG) post and check-in. After returning to the hotel, use their free wireless WIFI. The Internet usage is not much. I have given up on renting WIFI machines. Reduce the weight of the carrying items. Secondly, the WIFI machine makes the whole family tied together and it is very inconvenient to move. So we all buy Japanese Internet SIM cards. Common brands are Wiho and Yuanyou Card.

Another point is that Wendy is still an old customer of Chunghwa Telecom, and he likes to use its international roaming service, and the fee will not be too expensive for a few days.

Day 1: Department stores around Ueno Station

[Take Scoot]

The flight was originally scheduled to take off at 6:20 in the morning, and the typhoon was about to hit Taiwan and was delayed for two hours. The counter was still open for check-in service. My sister and my sister had plenty of time to help the little hamburger brew milk at the airport and let him continue to sleep. You can even stroll around the duty-free shops and enjoy breakfast.

▲At this moment, we should be on the plane, but the typhoon disrupted the schedule.

▲ Before departure, fill up your stomach in the restaurant.

▲ I chose the first row of seats for a fee, so I can take the kids out easily.

[Keisei Electric Railway]

For transportation from Narita Airport into downtown Tokyo, there are two options: JR East and Keisei Electric Railway. Keisei Electric Railway cooperates with Toei Subway. If you choose the right way, it is not only cost-effective, but the transportation is fast and convenient.And our lodging location is around Keisei Ueno Station. It takes about half an hour to arrive by Keisei Electric Railway. After exiting the station, we will walk all the way to the hotel!

▲ The seats are quite spacious and comfortable.

[Hotel Wing International Select Ueno-Okachimachi]

After exiting the station, we will cross Ameyokocho, and walk about 500 meters for 5-8 minutes. The surrounding accommodation functions are excellent, including family supermarkets, restaurants and shops in Ameyokocho, and the official opening this year has been well received by many guests. We booked a double bed and a guest room (two beds) separately. The latter has a little more space. It is recommended to choose a two-bed room. (→ queryRoom types and real-time rates)

[Isomaru Fisheries]

When she went to Fukuoka to meet her cousin who lives in Japan, she once recommended Isomaru Suisan’s seafood dishes. She rarely visited Tokyo with her mother and younger sisters. When there were not many people in the restaurant and she was too hungry to wait for dinner. Eat and see how it tastes like freshly baked and freshly baked!At the checkout, I remember that it is about 6,000 yen, which is quite cost-effective when calculated on the basis of a meal for four.

[Ameyokocho and 0101, Atre Department Store]

In the evening, most of the shops in Ameyoko-cho slowly closed to pack up, but the department store and the station’s co-built shopping mall are open until 800pm. Taking advantage of the darkness, let’s take a look at these counters and see what good things you can buy. I bought a lot of clothes, which is actually much cheaper than in Taiwan. For example, ORiental TRaffic's two-tone heel shoes have a discount of about NT$1,500, while the discounted price of Taiwan counters is also NT$XNUMX. Get started!

▲ There are many gourmet shops around Ameyoko!

Day2: Ameyoko, Okachimachi, Heyu Bridge Prop Street, Shinjuku Lumine EST

[Ameyoko, Okachimachi]

In the morning, we packed our luggage, and we took the little burger to purchase!This is the first time to visit Ameyoko and the surrounding business districts. I did not expect that there are related popular goods from head to toe, all kinds of trendy T, men's casual clothing accessories, etc. The male ethnic group can also buy super happy in Ameyoko. .In addition, the little hamburger has started to learn to walk. There are not many styles for small (male) babies in Taiwan, and there are a lot of baby sneakers in the sneaker store here, and the prices are sweet.

[Matsuya]

This time, the little girl in Tokyo is the only one to eat cheap food "Matsuya". She (belonging to the petty bourgeoisie) thinks that Matsuya is affordable and delicious. She didn't eat enough at that time in 16, so she repeatedly explained that she would eat Matsuya if she had the opportunity. It doesn't matter if you eat it many times!During the meal, I specifically asked if I had introduced Matsuya, this...I have been introduced by too many people and still need me?As a result, the little girl asked me to write a special article, and then she or a friend can follow the picture if she wants to come, okay!Wait for me to sort out the information and write it for her.

▲ The ordering machine has a Chinese interface.

[Hotel Mimaru Tokyo Ueno North]

In early July, the family traveled to Kyoto, Osaka. Considering the two families and living habits, Wendy found the Kyoto branch of the Meimanjia Hotel. It is a Japanese-style house that can accommodate 4 to 5 people, and has a kitchenette, washing machine, dry and wet separation, and bathtub. So I found that there are also two newly opened Meimanjia restaurants in Ueno, Tokyo, so I hurriedly place an order and choose a two-bed room with a lower berth, which is very suitable for family travel.

[Heyu Bridge Props Street]

In 16, a group of Tokyo, the lodging location was in the Kaminarimon area of ​​Asakusa. Although they were shopping thoroughly, they missed the Kappabashi Props Street. That time the eldest sister and her colleagues returned home with a full load.But I really want to buy housewares. I arranged for us to take a walk from the restaurant this afternoon. It was only 10-15 minutes away from one kilometer. I bought some kitchen supplies and small hamburger cutlery, and I was finally satisfied.

I was tired, so I ate dinner at the Mos Burger here, and then took Uber to Shinjuku.

[Shinjuku Lumine EST]

I used to go shopping for discounts in winter. Our family of four had different clothing styles and price points. We agreed to meet at the Tax Refund Center on the 6th floor before closing. After walking around, I found that the discount season is definitely going to be the first week of the discount season. So many and good-looking styles are all sold out. Novice readers are advised to seize the time to come. If you want to know what is good for shopping in this building, you can read my experience sharing.

Day3: Skytree, Asakusa Kaminarimon

[Food Street on the second floor of Skytree Town]

Before departure, make an appointment for this trip to Tokyo not only for shopping, but also to arrange some scenic spots. After thinking about the classic Tokyo Skytree, we have not visited yet, we arrived separately (taxi & subway), first have a meal here and let a small hamburger drink For milk, the food street dining environment is quite comfortable, there are many types of dining, plus a small supermarket, it is quite convenient.

[Skytree double-decker tour and shopping mall]

With the mentality of "I should never have the opportunity to come to the Skytree next time", we purchased a 350 and 450 meter observatory package. There are representative puppets at 350 meters to take photos, and there is also a coffee shop where you can order a drink. Take a break; the 450-meter observatory cooperated with Marvel Movies to display a series of "Avengers" figures, movies, and merchandise. One of the six medals needs to be stamped on different floors. I collected one The copy was given to his nephew, and he was very happy when he received it.

There are also some common Japanese clothing brands in the shopping mall downstairs. If you want to buy Skytree-related commemorative goods, it is recommended to go shopping slowly.

Take the Skytree shuttle bus to Asakusa. The fare for adults is 220 yen. The bus takes about 20 minutes. You don't need to take the subway to Asakusa Station (only one stop). You can see the Skytree from the transparent roof window.Arrive at Kaminarimon, take the time to visit the shops on both sides, and approach the closing time to visit the Guanyin Temple to pray for the health and safety of the family this year.

[Hotel Ascott Marunouchi Tokyo]

I ended the day’s trip and dragged my tired body to the next restaurant. I didn’t expect that I would confuse this restaurant with another, causing everyone to go to the wrong place. Thank the family for their understanding and tolerance. When I took the elevator up from Otemachi Station , I didn’t expect the hotel to be right in front (tears). The hotel staff kindly helped with the check-in procedures and assisted in retrieving luggage to the accommodation floor. I can only say that when the family pushed the door open... "Dig~" "God!" "Good high class" Restaurant!".

Two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, and two bathrooms are super spacious. The elder sister proposed to buy ingredients from a nearby supermarket to cook, and then open a bottle of wine to celebrate. Seeing the happy family members, no matter how expensive the restaurant is, she will order it. (Family is priceless) (→ queryRoom types and real-time rates)

▲ Ice the wine glass, it is super refreshing when enjoying the champagne.

Day4: Tokyo Station, Meiji Jingu, Takeshita Street

[Breakfast in the restaurant]

This is the only hotel that offers breakfast among the five-day lodging hotel. It has both Japanese and foreign ingredients. I also met a girl who came to Tokyo from Taiwan to work hard (as shown in the picture below). Sometimes when I go out, I always feel like a hometown. It's great, while having a meal while chatting, I learned that the chef of the restaurant carefully designed the menu, hoping to provide guests with a new taste experience.

[Issey Miyake Marunouchi]

In May, a delegation from Bangkok saw the new spring and summer colors at the counter of Issey Miyake’s sub-brand Bao Bao at The EmQuartier department store. Chong Ge, a traveler in TEDA, said that the price in Thailand is cheaper than Japan. I know... I was disappointed when I arrived at the store and asked about it... because all of Japan has been sold out!The bag selected by the little girl happens to be in stock. How can you come back empty-handed when you enter Baoshan, take it away with one person and one coffee!

[Tokyo Kitte Shopping Center]

Near the Issey Miyake store is Tokyo Station. The eldest sister suggested to the Kitte shopping mall. What can I do there?It turns out that the outdoor balcony allows you to take pictures of the station and surrounding buildings. In addition, there are some good restaurants on the fifth floor. After taking pictures and eating Chinese food, you can walk all the way back to the hotel to take your luggage and get ready to the next hotel!

▲ Looking at the green maple leaves, I really want to sprint for another maple viewing.

[Hotel Mimaru Tokyo Nihombashi Suitengumae]

This is the second Meimanjia hotel arranged. It is located near Suitemiya Station on the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line. It is about 300 meters and 5 minutes walk from the elevator exit.The hotel room type is the same as the previous trip to Kyoto. They are all Western-style houses, with two single beds, tatami mats, small living room, kitchen and separate dry and wet bathroom. Only the washing machine is placed in the public space for guests.

▲ Little Burger has an inexplicable preference for air purifiers and dehumidifiers, so he always sprints to play!

[Meiji Shrine]

The group grasped the last attraction "Meiji Shrine". In the evening, there are few tourists coming and going. You can take pictures of empty scenes after a while, but at this moment, Little Hamburg has already dreamed of Zhougong. From the first day, all major attractions and shopping malls are there. Sleeping, looking through these photos after returning home, I can only say that I was sleeping at important moments. (laugh)

[Takeshita Street]

When arranging the itinerary, ignore that Japan’s business hours are around 6 or 8 o’clock. In order to coordinate with the small hamburger’s work and rest, the family’s baggage to change restaurants, and to go out shopping and scenic spots close to noon, the time between points is compressed, such as us. I hurried out before Meiji Jingu closed at six o'clock, had dinner at the nearby Royal Garden Cafe, and walked to Takeshita Street to start shopping. The shops have already closed. (embarrassed)

Day5: Kichijoji

[Kichijoji Shopping District]

I have long heard that Kichijoji buys it well. Many people first recommend that the price of cosmeceuticals is cheap here. Considering that the last day of the trip will be back to Taiwan, the price difference between the number of cosmeceuticals and the total price I want to buy is not too big. I restocked it at Matsumoto Kiyoshi on Takeshita Street the night before complete.We are divided into two groups. The two sisters are expected to spend all the Japanese currency in their hands. Besides, there are so many super-good shops in Kichijoji that they bought a lot of summer items; while Anya is having dinner with two friends living in Tokyo.

Friends recommended this restaurant because the third floor is divided into four areas, allowing children to sit on the ground together, providing light meals and children’s meals, covered with fresh vegetables and fruits, while sharing with friends the journey of raising children, but also unexpected It turns out that children are like this! (Far eye)

[Take the Limousine Bus]

Mimaru Tokyo Nihombashi Suitengumae is near the Suitemiya Station, next to the Limousine bus stop, saving the trouble of dragging luggage on the subway, I rushed to the station to buy a ticket, and the two sisters went back to the hotel to pull luggage to meet here. One trip straight to Datian Airport, I can take a little sleep to make up for it.

Arrive at the airport a little earlier, and adhere to the goal of buying well and full on this trip.
