East-West Line



The East-West Line is a line that very few tourists will take because of the Most of the stations we visit are in residential areas, so it is also the most crowded line during the morning and evening rush hours. However, because they are all residential areas and office workers, most people miss the beautiful scenery along this line.

For example, go to Roppongi to see the night view, go to Ginza for shopping, etc. Everyone knows these ways, but I still tend to tell you something you don’t know.

Chiyoda Line



The Chiyoda Line is also a popular line. There are not too many stops on this line, but compared to the crowded Sasaki Park and Meiji Shrine, I think some unpopular stops are more worth wasting your time.
  
Machiya


People who have pets love to come to Machiya. Why, because it is about cats. There are so many cute things for dogs, and many stores can also customize them or you can participate in making them yourself.

If you live in Nishi-Nippori, the sandwich that wakes you up must be the sandwich made by Hano. It has both sweet and savory flavors. The only drawback is that it sells out too fast, so people who stay in bed cannot eat such delicious food. oh.
  


In addition to ramen, the must-eat in Japan is Daifuku. However, Nishi-Nippori is different. It has been associated with anime all year round, and its production of Daifuku is also more cute. For example, the monster ★いちごDaifuku sold by Edo Yuki has been loved by thousands of girls.

Tawara Town, which is close to Asakusa, has no noisy surroundings and has many peaceful and peaceful surroundings. There are also many shops closely related to people's daily life in places related to Sensoji Temple.
  
Japanese office workers will go out to work with lunch boxes carefully made by their wives, and lunch boxes have become the most frequently used items in daily life.

Many people must have played the game Taiko Master. When you come to Tahara Town, you can also go to the Miyamoto Unosuke Store Taiko Hall to experience it for yourself.
  


The biggest feeling when going to Tokyo is that they love to use transparent umbrellas too much. It wasn’t until I went to White ROSE that I realized that seemingly ordinary transparent umbrellas also have advantages and disadvantages. You can also modify the details of the umbrella according to your own preferences, such as the handle, the seams of the umbrella cloth, etc.
  


Sweetness is a common hobby of Japanese people. There is a long-established dessert shop in Tahara Town that has been open for 75 years. It is ペリカンカフェ. Although it only sells three products, it still It is loved by everyone, which shows how good it tastes.
  


Inari Town


Inari Town, close to Ueno, also focuses on The development of craftsmanship. Of course, there are a lot of delicious food, but there is nothing you can do about it. After all, it is close to downtown Tokyo. If it is not delicious and fun, you will not be able to survive at all.

Asakusa


The last stop of the Ginza Line, I put Many people may be tired of going to Asakusa, but I didn’t expect it. In fact, in addition to wearing a yukata to experience the Japanese style, Asakusa also has many small shops that can give you a new Tokyo travel experience.
  
Friends who often watch Japanese dramas and anime should know that the Japanese are very obsessed with catching goldfish. In fact, in addition to being able to experience it during festivals, in Asakusa, you can experience the fun of these traditional activities all year round.

Not many people in China regard comedians as their lifelong career, but in Japan it is a serious career. If you can understand Japanese, I highly recommend you to come to Asakusa Ryokan to experience a Japanese comedy show for yourself. This is also where many popular comedians struggle before they officially debut.
  


Practical Information

There are many Tokyo subway lines, and the operating companies are also very detailed. For locals, they need to read the route map carefully when traveling, let alone first-time tourists. It is recommended that you use Google Maps to check the route, and Transfer Plan Use it as an auxiliary APP.
  


The price of the Tokyo subway is no better than that in China. One trip is basically about 20 yuan. If you simply buy it directly for each trip, it is estimated that the transportation fee will become a huge expense, especially It’s my friends who are about to go berserk. Here are two recommended tips for riding the Tokyo subway.
  
Tokyo Metro 1, 2, and 3-day pass
The best thing about this pass is that it is not based on natural It's not calculated in days, but in terms of hours. Take the 1-day bus ticket as an example. For example, I arrived in Japan at 11 o'clock this evening, swiped it to take the subway, and its expiration time is at 11 o'clock tomorrow, which is very user-friendly.
  


Not all lines can be used with this ticket. The specific routes that can be used are shown in the picture below. If you are just visiting scenic spots, this coupon is enough. There are two ways to buy it, one is to buy it through various travel websites or a certain treasure, the other is to buy it locally in Japan, which requires a passport. If you are afraid of trouble, it is better to buy it online in China before setting off.
  


Watermelon Card
Don’t worry if you can’t use the ticket, you can prepare another one A watermelon card. In addition to taking the subway, you can also use it to take transportation such as JR and buses. If you can't use up the money, you can refund it. Basically, JR stations in the Tokyo area can refund the card, and 220 yen will be charged from the balance as a handling fee.
  


How to activate the bus ticket and Xigua Card to the maximum extent? My most common method is to swipe the Xigua Card to ride to a station where the bus ticket can be used, and then exit the station and transfer to a line where the bus ticket can be used to reach the destination I want to go to. land. Of course, you don’t have to worry so much, it depends on your personal preference.
