Landscape Introduction

Honshu Island
Honshu, Japan Sanzhong County Ise It is a small town style. Walking out of the station, there are few tall buildings and charming old buildings, which is enough for urban people to feel comfortable. However, if you want to really feel the antiquity of Ise, you still need to take a bus about 15 minutes in front of the station to Ise Temple Intrauterine think about truth Stroll around to ensure that you will be deeply fascinated.
Major tourist attractions in Japan
In front of the Yuzhi Bridge leading to the inner palace of the Ise Shrine, along the Isuzu River, the main river in the area, there is a reference road with a length of about 800 meters. On both sides of the spacious and clean reference road, there are deliberately preserved ancient buildings, among which there are unique triangle Tile roofed buildings, as well as traditional wooden houses, have been built more than 300 years ago Edo Period The tourists stroll here shopping without realizing Geostrophic change Being an Ancient Man
The most interesting place to walk on this characteristic road is that modern facilities such as banks and post offices are all packaged in ancient buildings; However, in order to carry out the ancient style, there are no trendy stores on both sides. Instead, traditional tea houses, wine stores, drug stores, and even chess courts can be found, which can open the city's eyes. There are several shops that can't be missed when wandering here. For example, Chifu Ben Store has a history of 300 years and sells Ise Regional original dessert Chifu Cake; Yuchun is an authentic food Handletter You can buy Ishihai Old (Lobster) at the General Club Lamian Noodles and Abalone a pancake The beauty and decorations of the cloth games are loved by everyone; As for the luxury of Suzuki aquatic products Sushi , lobster Matsusaka beef and bream Each one is inexpensive and attractive.

Ise Temple

Honshu Island
For many Japanese, visiting Ise and visiting the ancient streets are only afterlife programs, because the main purpose is to visit Ise Temple, which is considered as a necessary visit in their life. The Yishi Shrine has such a high status, because it is also called the inner palace of the imperial palace, and the offerings are considered as Japanese Royal Family The original sun god God of Heavenly Illumination , while the outer palace is closer to the railway station( Great God of Abundance Palace), and Fengshou God, who is worshipped as the God of Heavenly Illumination to take care of food, is also solemn and sacred, and is worth visiting.
Due to frequent patronage before leaving Nowhere Blog, plus Japanese food writing Experts From the moment I packed my luggage, my head was full of mishima yukio Regal Steamed Rice with Seaweed and Kawabata Yasunari Erotic finely sliced raw fish Cuisine, of course, is also full of evil and childlike Pork Chop meal ... from Tokyo to Yokohama, from Box stub I ate all the way to Kyoto.
Every noodle shop on the streets of Tokyo has a different style. Even the smallest shop can't be underestimated. There are three kinds of local noodles: ラーメンンンそばそば( buckwheat ),うどん( Udon )。 Ramen like instant noodles Wudong is broad and tough noodle Only そば is connected with China Spaghetti The closest one to Yokohama Zhonghua Street It may be the most expensive place for Chinese snacks. A small dish of tofu can sell for 1260 yen, while 500 yen is the king's way steamed meat bun It is also the most popular local snack. In the hot spring hotel in Hakone, I got the perfect comic Japanese Cuisine , the landlady dressed in kimonos, served food and poured wine for the guests. And before your eyes, there are more than a dozen beautiful and exquisite dishes side dish The shape, arrangement and color are very well matched. Lying in various small plates with exquisite carving, I am reluctant to send them to my mouth. At that time, I felt so happy that I forgot to take photos... It's a pity.

Local famous tea

Honshu Island
Shizuoka Prefecture Of Green Tea Most famous, Matcha ice cream It is also extremely excellent, and it is more "authentic" than that sold in Shanghai Cheaper
When you come to Kyoto, of course, you need to taste the Hesheng fruit there. It tastes delicate and refreshing Matcha It's more authentic. There are many self-service barbecue shops in the local area, with moderate prices and rich varieties. It found a kind of Kudzu powder Cold strip It is transparent, soft and smooth. With black honey, it is not only sweet, but also tender and delicious Boiled matter Of sauce It has a special flavor. Just after entering Osaka, I went straight to Octopus Balls Our shop hesitates in front of dozens of tastes. What a battle this is! Tokyo is just a few flavors. It can be seen that the birthplace of others is so awesome.
I fell in love with Osaka completely because of a bowl of Kansai Airport Curry Udon , except Curry Wudong is so simple that you can't believe it, but noodles can no longer be described by the word "female" and "son", because the taste is quite gorgeous. A slightly fancy ingredient will cover up its own brilliance. I began to believe that the food maniac in Japanese animation really exists
