Landscape Introduction
Honshu Island
Honshu, JapanSanzhong CountyIse 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 toIse TempleIntrauterinethink about truthStroll 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 uniquetriangleTile roofed buildings, as well as traditional wooden houses, have been built more than 300 years agoEdo Period The tourists stroll here shopping without realizingGeostrophic changeBeing 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 sellsIseRegional original dessert Chifu Cake;Yuchun is an authentic foodHandletterYou can buy Ishihai Old (Lobster) at the General ClubLamian NoodlesandAbalonea pancake;The beauty and decorations of the cloth games are loved by everyone;As for the luxury of Suzuki aquatic productsSushi, lobsterMatsusaka beef andbreamEach 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 asJapanese Royal FamilyThe original sun godGod of Heavenly Illumination, while the outer palace is closer to the railway station(Great God of AbundancePalace), 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.
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 likeinstant noodlesWudong is broad and toughnoodleOnly そば is connected with ChinaSpaghettiThe closest one to YokohamaZhonghua StreetIt 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 waysteamed meat bunIt is also the most popular local snack.In the hot spring hotel in Hakone, I got the perfect comicJapanese 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 dishesside dishThe 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.
When you come to Kyoto, of course, you need to taste the Hesheng fruit there. It tastes delicate and refreshingMatchaIt's more authentic.There are many self-service barbecue shops in the local area, with moderate prices and rich varieties.It found a kind ofKudzu powderCold stripIt is transparent, soft and smooth. With black honey, it is not only sweet, but also tender and deliciousBoiled matterOfsauceIt has a special flavor.Just after entering Osaka, I went straight toOctopus BallsOur 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 AirportCurry Udon, exceptCurryWudong 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
