Take your parents to Japan to check in on the fifth day of the New Year | Dizzying Japanese traffic

1.9 On the fifth day of the New Year, I took my parents to Japan to check in. Determined to get Japanese traffic.

My parents gave me a deadly serial question on the weekend: Do you want to buy a Kansai Freepass? Do you want to buy a watermelon card? Do you want to buy xxx one-day coupons? Do you want to buy icoca? ? ? I was stunned where they came from, I can only ask three questions.

In order not to disappoint them, and to keep everyone from getting lost, I am determined to study Japanese traffic.


1) SUICA, ICOCA
These cards are all rechargeable IC cards, which can basically take out all the public transportation of the Shinkansen, and the general scope is similar. The only difference is that when refunding the card, SUICA can only be refunded in Tokyo, and ICOCA can only be refunded in Osaka. So our itinerary is Osaka departure, so we chose ICOCA.

2) Travel Pass

The Pass is a multi-day pass launched by JR. In my understanding, it is a "high-speed rail" pass. More suitable for back and forth between cities. We only had to take the "high-speed train" from Tokyo to Kyoto once. Not worthwhile

3) One-day pass

Ride the subway as often as you like for one day. It is very practical in Tokyo, because the subway utilization rate is very high. Recommended to buy.

Traffic in Japan doesn't seem that scary. The New Year's card is well underway. I added intercity transportation to my itinerary and wrote the approximate departure and arrival times. It feels like it's almost done!

新年带爸妈去日本打卡第五天 | 令人头昏脑胀的日本交通

1.9 新年带爸妈去日本打卡第五天。立志搞定日本交通。

爸妈周末的时候给我来了个夺命连环问：要不要买关西周游券？要不要买西瓜卡？要不要买xxx一日券？要不要买icoca？？？我都惊呆了 他们是从哪里看到的这一大堆，我只能一问三不知了。

为了不让他们失望，为了不让大家走丢，我立志研究日本交通。


1） SUICA, ICOCA
这类卡都是充值型的IC卡，基本可以坐出了新干线的所有的公共交通，而且通用范围大同小异。唯一的区别是退卡的时候，SUICA只能在东京退，ICOCA只能在大阪退。所以我们行程是大阪离境，就选择ICOCA了。

2）周游券

周游券是JR推出的多日通票。在我理解里就是”高铁“的通票。比较适合城市之间的来回。我们只有一次从东京到京都需要坐”高铁“。不划算

3）一日券

一日之内随意乘坐地铁。在东京很实用，因为地铁利用率很高的。建议购买。

日本交通好像也没那么可怕嘛。新年打卡正稳步进行。给我的行程加上了城际交通，写上了大致的出发和到达时间。感觉快要完成了！
