2020-12-15 The first time I went to Japan was organized by the company. The 4-day itinerary can only have a basic concept of Japan.
My daughter is an anime fan and asked her where she would like to go on a summer vacation. The only answer: Japan. My husband worked in Japan for a short time 20 years ago and wanted to go back and have a look, so I have the following itinerary.
The themes of this trip are: animation, nostalgia, and experience Hokkaido. At the same time, she also took her daughter to two Japanese universities so that she could be clear about the direction of her further studies.
Booked a ticket on China Eastern Airlines website 2 months in advance, which is super cost-effective! The fare is 10% off, plus tax, the international fare per person to and from Japan is 2,300 yuan. Once I got a good ticket, I started to do the strategy. The one that helped me the most was the one found in the hornet's nest. So I have an idea: I will share my itinerary with everyone when I come back.
