體驗東京的古今風貌:穿著浴衣遊東京!

體驗東京的古今風貌:穿著浴衣遊東京!

你好!我是Elisa,是一名來自東京的大學二年級學生。 提到東京,你可能會想到古老與現代之間的鮮明對比。然而,我深信這些元素的和諧共存,讓這個城市更有其獨特的魅力。 在這篇文章中,我將介紹哪些地方可以體驗這個城市的古今對比,並告訴大家如何能更深一層去獲得這樣的特別感受。   徒步探索東京 徒步探索東京。 | ©Pixabay 體驗東京的最佳方式之一,就是徒步旅行。雖然東京因其便捷的公共交通系統,例如電車、地鐵和公車而聞名,但如果要充分體驗這個城市在傳統與現代之間的獨特風情,最好的方式便是漫步其中。 這種體驗更講究的方式則是可以穿上和服/浴衣在城市中漫步。相信穿著傳統服飾,在感受歷史的同時,也欣賞這座現代化的城市,應該是體驗東京最好的方式了。   浴衣與和服的差異 浴衣與和服的差異。|  ©Pakutaso / ©Pixabay 和服與浴衣的區別不僅僅在於外觀,還關係著穿著的時間和場合。 一般來說,和服是一年四季都可以穿的,通常會是在正式場合。然而,因為和服的布料比較厚,所以夏天比較少人穿和服。如果在夏天穿的話,則通常會選擇布料較薄的和服。和服的精緻層次和古典設計,使其成為日本優雅與傳統的象徵。 另一方面,浴衣則僅在夏季穿著,是比較輕便且休閒的服裝。人們在傳統的日本節日或「祭典」上,會穿上浴衣。因此,如果你在夏天來日本旅遊,我建議可以租一套浴衣,因為在夏季炎熱的天氣,穿和服會讓你感到過於悶熱不舒服。   穿著浴衣去散步吧! 穿著浴衣去散步吧!| ©Elisa 東京是個古老與現代和諧共存的城市,非常值得讓你穿上日本的傳統服飾來走訪大街小巷並細細品味。以下是我特別推薦的一些景點:曾經是江戶時代中心城市的日本橋;擁有眾多特色咖啡廳的表參道;以及保留著傳統氛圍的淺草。   日本橋:東京都心 日本橋。 | ©Elisa 日本橋是個商業區,街道上可以見到高聳的摩天大樓和建築。然而,即使在如此現代的城市風貌中,你仍然可以發現隱藏有古老的建築手法。 例如,這座日本橋已有100多年歷史,至今仍在使用。最初的木製橋梁建於1603年,後來於1911年用石材重建,也就是現在我們所見的橋樑,這讓我們見證了這裡古老與現代建築的和諧共存。 在購物中心COREDO中,有一條掛滿燈籠的可愛街道,走在這裡,讓你仿佛回到了江戶時代。   日本橋 地址:東京中央區日本橋室町1-8 交通:從日本橋車站 步行3分鐘   表參道:原宿周邊的時尚街道 表參道。| ©Pixabay 接下來,我推薦可以到表參道探索一些有著現代化風格,卻可以品嚐傳統日式“和菓子”的咖啡廳。表參道被視為一個既擁有摩登時尚又有優雅風格的地方。 穿著和服/浴衣來體驗品嚐和菓子更是一種浪漫的體驗。我首先會推薦的店是茶洒 金田中。在這家咖啡廳內有一個小巧精緻的日式花園,你可以在享用甜點的同時欣賞外面的景色。他們也提供日式的午間套餐。 另一家我推薦的是船橋屋。這裡菜單上有“葛餅”,這是一種傳統的日本甜點。穿著浴衣或和服享用這些美味甜點,會為你的體驗添加更豐富的文化氣息。   茶洒金田中 地址:東京港區北青山3-6-1 Oak Omotesando 2樓,107-0061 交通:從表参道車站 步行1分鐘 船橋屋 地址:東京渋谷區神宮前3-14-6,150-0001 […]
