📝 Japan Travel Guide 🌸 Hiroshima, Okayama, Tottori, Osaka 🌸
The long-awaited return of the 🕵🏻♂️ Conan pilgrimage tour after four years, exploring the San'in and San'yo regions of Japan (also known as the Chugoku region) to experience a less crowded cherry blossom season in Japan. (Before going, I scoured all related posts 🤣 and decided to write a summary upon returning, perfect for lazy people to copy!) · Departing from Shanghai ✈️ with round trip to Osaka (my choice) or direct flights to Hiroshima/Okayama (few flights, not daily direct flights). · Accommodation 🏨 is near JR stations for convenient daily sightseeing. · Route 🗺️ details are on P1, pay attention to schedule changes ‼️ Download the app marked with a check on P2, it's more convenient than the previous transfer information app 💯 and you can add various JR Passes to see which routes are covered. · For similar itineraries, recommend the "San'in San'yo 7-Day Pass" (buy in advance on Taobao, exchange for a paper ticket at Kansai Airport; less than RMB 1100 for adults, and nearly 2000 for these big cities' round trips, definitely worth it 💰). 📍 Onomichi — The only city in this trip unrelated to the pilgrimage: Island Wave Sea Road ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Many cycling enthusiasts, not me 🌝) Chikoku-ji Park ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Not recommended for non-artistic youth or outside of cherry blossom season) Onomichi Ramen ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hiroshima: Miyajima ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (One of Japan's three great views, more spectacular than the sea shrine at Hakone) Peace Memorial Park ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (The atmosphere is quite memorable; nearby is Hiroshima's commercial center, with Chiikawa on the first floor below Parco) Hiroshima Yaki ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Okayama: Okayama Korakuen ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (One of Japan's three great gardens, with a distant view of Okayama Castle; not recommended to visit specifically) Kurashiki Kancho Area ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Different from the water towns in Jiangnan; Okayama's is the birthplace of Japanese denim, if you don't have time to go to for custom jeans, strolling down Kurashiki's denim street is also an experience) Tottori: Tottori Sand Dunes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Beautiful even without blue skies and white clouds, crossing the horseback leads to the sea 🌊, still very impressive) White Rabbit Shrine ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Small and far, but a well-known local shrine in Japan — said to be very effective for marriage and skin) Tottori Castle Ruins ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Can visit during cherry blossom season, the nearby Fukuro River is also a great cherry blossom spot) Tottori Wagyu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (For an average of 200, I ate the quality of meat that would cost 700 per person in Shanghai 🥲) (The above sights are relatively scattered, it's recommended to charter a car for 3 hours at the JR station's information center, should be the most cost-effective car rental in Japan 🤧) Yura: Conan's Hometown ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (P16-18, a pilgrimage site, you can also arrive on the Conan Train, the feelings along the way are something old Conan fans will understand 🥰) Osaka Castle Park ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Added at the last minute on the last day when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, you can take a photo at the same spot as Heiji's at the base of the castle tower) Limited characters 🙆🏻♀️ Feel free to ask questions #Conan #JapanFreeTravel #JapanTravelGuide #Hiroshima #Okayama #Tottori #ConanHometown
