Take mom and kids to the countryside of Tokyo for a ceremonial summer(1)

in #travel6 years ago

Dear Steemit Friends:
This is the first time for me to write articles in Steemit. My English is not good and I can only write English through translation software. However, I hope to share interesting things with friends around the world.

Japanese summer, with a strong sense of ritual.

Quietly bloomed in the ceremony, from the gulf of fireworks, comes from to the cicadas can into a sleepy ease, is the result of sample cotton candy clouds from the tip of the finger straight into the sky connect fully, from the bite to happiness to tear the mouth laugh the green heart of Melon, from little boys seem to be always tireless, such as the hot sun make breakfast...

When you try to experience everything, summer comes to you

Never thought his mother would would you like to go to Japan with us, also never thought would take 4 years old child I always love to run on island land, more not thinking about four years without a graduate students will travel together with 2 years old children, let us on this trip should look like in the "abuse", early and comfortable vacation time say "goodbye".
"Never thought about it," he said, because mothers like the generation born in the 1950s tend to have a natural aversion to Japan. To her, guys like me who love Japanese anime and music belong to the typical "pro-japanese" group, who have the suspicion of forgetfulness and can be pulled out and shot for two rounds. But after I fooled her into getting a visa for a trip to southeast Asia, her family became a bit of an overachiever.
Is the same with the mother and child two families, 8 people in Tokyo in the busy work unexpectedly, unlike the previous two years visit kansai and kyushu, almost no time to prepare detailed strategy, I also just before experience, simple locking "rural" around Japan, want to clock in the main attractions, with mothers for the first time to Japanese people can enjoy more simple countryside and warm gas, a ceremony of the summer.

To tell the truth, before a trip is panic mood, with the mother and child to go abroad for the first time free line in the mind has no bottom, also worried about a classmate to my home stay facility, design course are not satisfied, plus the weather forecast is hung with rain in the sky of Tokyo logo and typhoon warning, always look forward to set foot on the journey of my first feel clouded outlook, full of crisis. In retrospect, all of these worries seemed superfluous, because when we asked two mothers what they thought about Japan at the end of our trip, they agreed that it was worth it.

Nine days and eight nights, the mothers in their hearts of Japan, and the original different; And the small children eye of summer, more beautiful.

The awkward start, but opened a new understanding of the window

To minimize the cost of travel, we abandoned the convenient direct air route and took a detour to Osaka. The initial stage of the trip was smooth, with driving, high-speed rail and arriving at Qingdao airport on time. Not many people left the country, and the customs was cleared soon, because the first flight on all Nippon airways was full of expectation.

Early the next morning, we woke each other up from the morning sun at 5 o 'clock by the WeChat group we had pulled up the night before. Our son ate his first meal in Japan -- a bowl of soya sauce instant noodles and a plum rice ball -- in his sleep.
The plane took off more than 7 o 'clock on time, and ana's smooth arrangement left us with little need to change our schedule. When we arrived at haneda airport, our son and our new brother had a good time to say goodbye.

Considering that there are mothers and children traveling together, the luggage is also full, and it is very inconvenient to change public transport frequently. Therefore, this time, I mainly choose to rent a car for traveling, and Toyota business with 10 people. The peak season price is 3,000 yuan per day. The driver brother arrived at the airport on time and picked us up to meet his family of four. After the successful meeting, the journey finally began.

It is precisely because such a seemingly awkward travel start, with a voice of emotion to open the mother's recognition of Japan.

Kamakura, the place associated with youth

If you don't know what I'm talking about, try singing the first line of "I love you" to the opening song of "Slam Dunk." This is the proof of my love for Slam Dunk master and the way I learned to sing the theme song in junior high school.

For a post-80s generation, "Slam Dunk" seems to be the first memory of youth. Whether it was mitsui's disheveled hair, sniveling "I want to play basketball", sakuragi's uncharacteristically forlorn face after losing the game, or the barbell laughter of coach ANSI's trembling belly At that age when I was ignorant, I waited for the screening of the small color TV with the palm of my hand after school every day. My heart was filled with the throbbing of dreams, friendship and unity, and my heart was constantly surging with blood.

"I like fairy dao, so handsome!" On the way to a high school station in kamakura, my daughter-in-law revisits the scene in her mind as she returns to primary school. Good thing you didn't say you liked river maple."
It's hard to say what kind of feelings this is, especially for those who haven't seen Slam Dunk, but for us, visiting kamakura is a confession of our youth. Before the railway crossing in Japan, which is nothing special, all eyes are looking back to the past. "jiang zhi dian" moves slowly by after falling down the pole, and the remnants of the trolley seem to see sakuragi in red uniform.

The university front station is not the first station after we reach kamakura. The first stop is hegang's eight pennant palace and gufeng street in front of the gate.
