Don't go to Shinjuku and Ginza in Tokyo, just go to Shibuya.
Last time I went to Japan with a friend, I went to the airport, then to the hotel, Kansai arrival was in the evening, and I bought a car ticket for my first time out of fear of the railway network. It was more expensive than the subway. Actually, transferring at Kyoto Station was very convenient. This time I went to Osaka and bought a Nankai Rapid to Namba for 65, the airport bus was about 78, and I didn't pay attention to the time it took. I went to Tokyo, and last time I took the Shinkansen from Kyoto to Tokyo for 13000 yen per person, which is now about 857 RMB. This time I booked two tickets for 884 (which was cheaper before, I didn't buy it) and saved 10000 miles.
There was also a 15 discount, and the actual payment was 769. Two people saved almost 1000 RMB. Another thing to mention is the time it takes. The Shinkansen takes about 2.5 hours (details are not remembered), and the plane takes 1.5 hours. Last time I got it wrong, thinking it was flying to Kansai, and it took almost 2 hours to go to the airport, the bus cost 130, and the bus from Haneda to the hotel felt about 1 hour, plus the time to wait in line and check in, I thought it was too time-consuming, so I chose the Shinkansen. In fact, it didn't take much more than the Shinkansen. That day I left the hotel around 9:30 am, and took the Shinkansen around 11:30 am. I waited for the bus and went to several stations in Omiya, and I got lost because there were many directions and different types of trains going to Kyoto Station. I got confused, and then I spent a long time buying Shinkansen tickets. When I arrived, I went straight to the vending machine to queue, and I was also embarrassed because my Japanese was not good, and I didn't know how to use it. I asked the service desk, and the staff sold tickets manually. They spoke fluent Chinese, and I wrote a small ticket for them to buy. It took me almost 4-5 hours. It was just a little closer than the Shinkansen from Tokyo, and Haneda wasn't far away. It was just right to go to Tokyo Tower for a photo.
