🌏 6-Day 5-Night Japan Free Travel 🌸

📍 Route: Tokyo — Izu — Kamakura — Tokyo (Didn't go to Mount Fuji this time because the visibility forecast was poor those days 😭) 💸 Cost Breakdown: Flights: Shanghai — Tokyo round trip for 2092 RMB Visa: Single simplified visa for undergraduates at 198 RMB Accommodation: 5 nights in Akihabara, 1138 RMB per person Transportation: Bought a tourist version of Suica card at Haneda T3 self-service machine, and Tokyo JR pass for 760 JPY/day at Tokyo Station 📱 SIM Card: 10GB for 7 days, 45 RMB Yen: Exchanged 4000 RMB at a favorable rate 📍 Day1: Asakusa Shrine — Tokyo Skytree — Akihabara — Ginza Asakusa Shrine is worth a visit, 🎫free entry, fortune telling for 100 JPY. If you draw a bad fortune, tie it to the nearby railing to neutralize it. In Akihabara, do your research for affordable figures, some stores put them out in the evening and close at 8:30 PM. The large black Yao drugstore next to Akihabara Station is also great for shopping, with snacks, skincare, daily necessities, and medicine. They have a wide variety of products at prices much cheaper than domestic, tax-free for purchases over 5000 JPY. For dinner, we had pancakes 🥞 at bills Ginza, featured in the New York Times, very delicious. After dinner, we strolled around the nearby citywalk. 📍 Day2: Akihabara — Ōshima Peninsula — Enoshima Coast — Shibuya We hired a private car for the round trip, found companions on 🍠, 480 RMB per person for 10 hours, similar price to the train. The trip took about 6 hours, so plan your time accordingly. For dinner, we had wagyu at Shibuya's. This place offers a 90-minute wagyu buffet for 8000 JPY per person, very satisfying. At Shibuya Sky, remember to book 🎫 two weeks in advance during peak times. The observation deck has two levels with great views. After enjoying the night view, you can visit the lantern corridor downstairs and write your wishes on a lantern to hang on the "Skytree". 📍 Day3: Imperial Palace — Ginza — Kabukicho There are many delicious restaurants near Ginza! We had seafood at KAZAN for dinner. This place specializes in a combination of French and Japanese cuisine, with great taste and service, but it's a bit expensive. We spent 13000 JPY per person, including a 10% service charge. 📍 Day4: Kamakura Station — Great Buddha of Kamakura — Kamakura High School Station — Enoshima — Yuigahama Fireworks Festival We took the JR directly to Kamakura Station, which allowed us to travel from east to west efficiently. There are also many small shops run by locals near Kamakura Station where you can find limited edition figures, but some prices are a bit inflated, so compare before buying. 📍 Day5: Tokyo Tower — Sugamo Shrine — National Art Center — Harajuku — Ikebukuro The first three are classic anime filming locations. Afterwards, we went to look for chiikawa. Kiddy Land in Harajuku is quite small with limited stock; Ikebukuro and the specialty stores near Tokyo Skytree have more options. 📍 Day6: Odaiba — Ginza — Shinjuku — Akihabara We had more time on this day, mainly for shopping. Save your energy because our return flight was scheduled for the next day in the early morning. #JapanTravel #Tokyo #Kamakura #OshimaPeninsula #TokyoTravel #JapanFreeTravel #Japan
