3 places to see Mt. Fuji (save + share this post): 3 places to see Mt. Fuji (save + share this post):

If you don’t have enough time to spend days in Hakone visiting Mt. Fuji it’s easy to take a day trip here from Tokyo. It’s only about 90 minutes by car and we spent the day exploring the area. There is a swing at the top for an additional fee where you literally swing into Mt. Fuji and they have a souvenir shop and small food vendor to purchase snacks.

Location 1: Mt. Fuji Panorama Ropeway which cost 900 for adults and 450 for children for a roundtrip ride on the cable car. They do sell one way cable car tickets if you want to hike down the mountain.

Location 2: Kawaguchi Asama Shrine, there is a small fee of 100 per person but children are free. This place is really only for pictures besides the view there isn’t anything else to do. They have it set up with a line to capture photos in front of the tori gate and each group has 3 minutes to take pictures, yes they actually time you, to make sure the line keeps moving.

Location 3: Arakurayama Sengen Park where you’ll need to climb 398 stairs or take the curved paved path to the top for views of the mountain and Chuerito Pagoda. The stairs are a straight shot but the path makes it accessible for strollers and wheelchairs.

We were truly blessed to be able to see Mt. Fuji as it’s often not visible. When I visited in 2015 we made the trip here and it was gloomy and cloudy and we couldn’t see anything. We did go to the base of the mountain on that trip and do the ice cave exploration so all wasn’t lost but I am so happy Jordyn and I got to see the full mountain with our own two eyes on this trip!

There are lots of other places you can view Mt. Fuji but with only one day we couldn’t visit them all. The other 7 best places to see Mt. Fuji are on a boat tour on any of the 5 lakes that surround the mountain (Kawaguchi, Yamanakako, Saiko, Shojiko, or Motosuko), Koyo-Dai Lookout Platform, Sanko-Dai Lookout Platform, Oshino Hakkai Springs, Fuji Q Highland Amusement Park, Rooftop of Fujisan Station, Shin-Fuji Station Platform and in Hakone.

Have you ever seen Mt. Fuji’s beauty? Would you add this to your Japan itinerary if you haven’t?

How we spent 48 hours in Kyoto (save + share this How we spent 48 hours in Kyoto (save + share this post):

1. Start your day at Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. We arrived here at 7:30am and there were quite a few people here already. We didn’t visit but in Arshiyama you can also visit the Monkey Park to see the Japanese Macaques (snow monkeys).

2. Head to Kinkaku-ji to see this stunning Temple of the Golden Pavilion. They open at 9am and we arrived at 8:45am and by time the opened the door at 9am the line was extremely long.

3. Walk through the gorgeous Tori Gates at Fushimi Inari Taisha. Before or after your visit be sure to walk through the street vendors for some amazing food. We tried noodles, mochi and just enjoyed learning more about the local foods. We visited here around 11am and even though it was so crowded if you want photos without people wait until you’re walking through the gates to exit and there are often moments where the area is empty, just be a little patient. 

4. Book a session at @kyoto_samurai_experience to learn about the history of the Samurai, watch a demonstration and get to try your hand at using the samurai sword yourself.

5. Eat your way through Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka. You will be able to walk through these narrow streets (with some hills) and try ice cream flavors such a matcha, green tea, white peach, Sakura (if in season), Black sesame, caramel and more and yes, we tried them all! There’s also tons of mochi and other treats. You’ll find the Starbucks with a traditional Japanese home interior here as well as Yasaka Pagoda and Kiyomizu-dera Temple, be sure to visit.

6. Walk around Gion and catch a Kabuki show at Minamiza Theatre.

7. Visit Daigo-ji temple, it’s not frequented by a lot of tourists so it’s rarely crowded and you can have a moment on zen here!

While we didn’t have time this visit as the weather altered some of our plans on my last visit to Kyoto in 2015 I also visited Ginkaku-ji (the Silver Pavilion), Nijo Castle which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ryoanji Temple and highly recommend going. 

Some other things we were interested in but just didn’t have time for were a calligraphy class and if you are into manga you can visit the Kyoto International Manga Museum.
This is your sign to rent a kimono in Kyoto! It wa This is your sign to rent a kimono in Kyoto! It was an honor to be dressed by Japanese women & taught about the Kimono. Here’s everything you need to know about renting a kimono & a tiny history lesson on them(save + share this post):

1. Originally kimono was the Japanese word for clothing but is now used to refer specifically to traditional Japanese clothing. Kimono’s date back to the Heian period of 794-1185 and were every day wear until western culture was brought to Japan.

2. There are 8 layers in a kimono in addition to the Tabi (white socks) which are specifically made to wear with Jori (traditional Japanese shoes). Even though there are 8 layers it doesn’t take long to be dressed.

3. Today kimonos are mostly worn for special occasions such as NYE, weddings, gradations, tea ceremonies & summer festivals. But geishas, maikos, kabuki actors and a few traditional professions wear them every day.

4. We rented our Kimono’s from this shop https://kyoto-kimonorental.com/kimono/. It’s less than a 5 minute walk from Hokan-ji. We made a reservation in advance but you will find kimono rental shops all over Kyoto. They open at 9 and you have to return the Kimono’s by 5.

5. They offer multiple packages which vary in the type of material the kimono is. The package I got was the ¥4,900 ($37.50) one and Jordyn’s child price was ¥3,900 ($29.87). You can get your hair and makeup done for an additional ¥1,200. The value of the yen is down now so be sure to check exchange rates whenever you make it to Japan for accuracy.

6. This shop offers photo packages directly through them or you can take your own or hire a separate photographer.

7. If you’re worried about renting a kimono and wearing it in Japan being seen as cultural appropriation, don’t be. I obviously can’t speak for every Japanese person but from hearing it first hand from Japanese people in Japan and the large amount of Kimono rental shops all over Japan encouraging visitors to try kimonos, the Japanese are so excited to see foreigners embracing their culture and wearing kimonos respectfully! We received so many compliments from the local community as we explored Kyoto this day.

After spending 48 hours in Osaka we went to Kyoto. After spending 48 hours in Osaka we went to Kyoto. Here’s how to get here and where we stayed (save + share this post):

1. You can take the Shinkansen (bullet) train from Shin-Osaka Station to Kyoto Station if you have the JR Pass and it will only take you 15 minutes. If you don’t have a JR Pass the Shinkansen ticket costs about 1,420 yen (right now that’s about $11). 

2. If you don’t have the JR Pass you can take the Hankyu Kyoto Line or Keihan Main Line. These are regular non express trains and will increase your travel time to from 15 minutes to 45-55 minutes but they only cost 400 yen (about $3) so you can save money, especially for a large group.

3. There is also a bus that leaves picks up at Hotel Keihan Universal Tower, Universal Studios Japan and Namba and goes to Kyoto Station. I’m not sure of the costs.

4. If you flew into Osaka you can also take the Haruka Express train from the airport to Kyoto Station. 

In Kyoto we stayed at The Chaper Kyoto which is a Marriott property. The rooms are on the small side but the hotel is clean and modern. There is a bus stop down the block which we could take to get to Gion in 9 minutes. The room was about $240/night since it’s busy season.

The weather this time of year is pretty sporadic. Some days it was hot and sunny and some days cool and gloomy so definitely pack a variety of attire and bring some layers and the weather changes throughout the day. Will be sharing our itinerary soon.

Have you been to Kyoto? If you have other accommodation recommendations please share them below to help others!

Want to visit Super Nintendo World at Universal St Want to visit Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan? You need to know this (save + share this post):

1. Just because you have tickets to the park doesn’t mean you’ll get into Super Nintendo World, it requires a timed entry ticket. These do run out so it’s not a guarantee you’ll be able to enter! If you get your park tickets in advance you might be able to grab an advanced booking in the app but if these are all gone by time you get your tickets you’ll need an area timed entry ticket. These are only available the day you’re visiting & you can only attempt to get it once you’re actually in the park! We got to the park when they opened at 8am & there were only two entry times left so arrive early! You can get them on the app (you must grant the app permission to see your location so they know you’re inside) or you can go to one of the ticket kiosks.

2. To really enjoy you’ll need a power band which are sold for about $35. If you don’t have one you can walk around & go on the 2 rides but you can’t play the games & collect coins.

3. The wait times for both rides are usually 1-3 hours! To avoid this you can purchase an Express Pass (most people said this reduces wait times to a mere 15 minutes). Express Passes were sold out the day we went so we only got to ride Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge but not Yoshi’s Adventure. To avoid the 2 hour wait for Mario Kart we actually went through the singles line. We did end up in two different karts but we only waited 20 minutes to ride instead of 2 hours. Yo Shi’a Adventure doesn’t have a singles line or we would have done that too!

4. If you want to eat at Kinopio’s Cafe you also need a timed entry ticket so be sure to grab this as soon as you get inside Super Nintendo World. It’s usually a 1-2 hour wait once you get your timed entry ticket.

5. Once you leave you cannot reenter (if timed entry tickets are required at the time) so be sure to do everything you want before leaving.

Universal Studio Japan is extremely popular & tickets do sell out often so buy in advance. The most popular sites to buy them are Klook (where we bought ours) & KKDay.

Hope this helps! Who has Super Nintendo World on their list?
How We Spent 48 Hours in Osaka (save + share this How We Spent 48 Hours in Osaka (save + share this post):

1. Kicked off the day trying soufflé pancakes, you’ll find restaurants all over the city that sell these. We personally had them at Belle-ville Pancakes.

2. Visit the Cup of Noodles Museum where you can make your own Cup of Noodles logo and then customize the flavor and toppings for your noodles. They also offer a ramen making class here in addition to the museum where you can learn the history of the company.

3. If you’re visiting in March check to see if the March Sumo Wrestling Tournament is taking place at Edion Arena Osaka. If so def try to get tickets in advance (they go on sale a month prior) or arrive early to get same day tickets. It’s a fun afternoon.

4. We also did a Tea Ceremony class but photos/videos weren’t allowed.

5. End the first day getting cheesecake at the infamous Rikuro’s for their jiggly Cheesecake.

6. The other day spend at Universal Studios Japan for thrilling rides, shows and to relive your childhood at Super Nintendo World.

Where to stay in Osaka? The W Osaka is gorgeous but a little pricey and the Fairfield by Marriott is more budget friendly with nice, modern clean rooms just less amenities and smaller rooms (will post stories of both so you can see).

How to get to Osaka from Tokyo: We took the Shinkansen bullet train which takes 3 hours but is such an experience as it goes up to 199mph. Be sure to sit of the right side of the train for views of Mt. Fuji. You can also take a quick flight!

Other things to do in Osaka we didn’t travel time for:

1. Visit the Osaka Castle

2. Go to the top of the Umeda Sky Building

3. Go out in the Dotonbori

4. Walk around Kuromon Market

5. Watch a show at the National Bunraku Theater

6. Explore the Sumiyoshi Shrine

Which activity would you most want to do? If you’ve been to Osaka before what other recommendations do you have?

6 Ways to Earn Delta Skymiles without flying! (SAV 6 Ways to Earn Delta Skymiles without flying! (SAVE + SHARE this post):

1. Link your Lyft and Skymiles accounts to earn 1 mile per $1 on US rides and 2miles per $1 on airport rides.

2. When booking Airbnb stays go to delta.com/Airbnb instead and you’ll earn 1 mile per $1 spent on airbnbs.

3. Order groceries online with instacart? Go to instacart.com/delta to link your accounts and earn 1.5 miles per $1 spent. If you’re new to instacart you can also get 3 months free.

4. Link your Starbucks account with your Skymiles account at delta Starbucks.com and you’ll earn 1 mile per $1 spent at Starbucks. Plus on days your flying with Delta, you’ll earn DOUBLE stars at Starbucks.

5. Sign up for SkyMiles dining at  Skymilesdining.com and is link your credit or debit card. Every time you use your card at a participating bar or restaurant, you’ll earn between 1-5 miles per $1 spent.

6. And nope you don’t have to use a Delta credit card to get miles for any of the above, no matter how you pay you’ll earn BUT is you do pay for them with a Delta co-branded credit card (there are several and depending on which one you have) you can earn anywhere from a additional 1-5 miles per dollar spent on purchases, even if they aren’t Delta airline tickets.

The cash price for the flight we took to Tokyo was $2,600pp so it would have cost me over $5,000 for this since it’s peak travel to Japan (never in my life would I pay that, we would have went somewhere else). Instead I only paid $118 total by using all of these ways to earn Delta miles over the past few years which gave me enough miles to redeem even though we don’t get to fly Delta on a regular since they don’t have the strongest presence at MIA airport as it’s American’s hub.

Do you use travel credit cards and/or points and miles from loyalty programs to offset the cost of travel? If so what are your favorite ones? Let’s all travel for less!

How to Spend 48 Hours in New Orleans

So you’re headed to The Big Easy but only have 48 hours in New Orleans? Don’t worry you can do a lot with 2 days in New Orleans. I visited New Orleans with my girlfriend over a weekend and we were able to eat our hearts out, hear great music, learn about the history of New Orleans, and a have a little ghost and vampire fun. Visiting New Orleans with kids? Here are 10 Things to Do in New Orleans with Kids.

How to Get Cheap Flights to New Orleans

When looking for cheap flights to New Orleans you may not be able to find any during the best time to visit New Orleans. I was able to find cheap flights to New Orleans by traveling in the off season. I scored a penny fare on Spirit Airlines by using Skyscanner to find flights for my trip. It allows you to enter your home airport and desired destination and then search for the cheapest month to travel there. You can download Skyscanner’s free app here.

Spirit randomly has flights for one penny and you can book them online or at the airport and only pay the taxes for the flight. If you book at the airport you will save the $19.99 passenger usage fee that is applied each way, a savings of just under $40.00 on a round trip flight per person.  Since I was traveling for the weekend I could easily fit everything I needed in a bag that fits under the seat and flies for free. Here are tips on maximizing savings while flying Spirit Airlines.

Best Time to Visit New Orleans

The best time to visit New Orleans really depends on what you’re looking to do. If you want to experience Mardi Gras or Essence Festival the best time to visit New Orleans would be when those events takes place.

We visited New Orleans in mid-August as it is one of the slowest months for NOLA travel. While this is mainly due to the hot and humid weather, as Floridians the weather isn’t something we aren’t used to. We gladly enjoyed  uncrowded street and lower prices on lodging. It ended up not even being that hot but there were some afternoon showers as it was Hurricane season.

Where To Stay in New Orleans

When deciding where to stay in New Orleans we first looked at hotels but found Airbnb’s much more affordable. Since we only had 48 hours in New Orleans we wanted to be close to the activities on our agenda. We booked this Airbnb that was about 10 minutes from the French Quarter. It was a duplex and the owner lived in the unit next door.

New to Airbnb? Sign up here and save $40 on your first stay. If you’re nervous about renting an Airbnb, don’t be. Here are 8 tips for a great Airbnb experience.

Do you prefer staying in hotels? Take a look on TripAdvisor, they offer up to 30% off or try the Dosh App which offer up to 40% cash back on hotels. You can download their free app here, this year I’ve earned $565 cash back.

How to Spend 48 Hours in New Orleans

Day One: Café du Monde, New Orleans Cooking Class, & a Ghost/Vampire Tour

We arrived late the night before so we just hung out at our Airbnb and rested for our first day in New Orleans. What better way to kick off our 48 hours in New Orleans than with breakfast at Café du Monde. It’s famous for it’s beignets but with fame comes extremely long lines. While it’s open 24 hours it starts getting really packed around 9AM so try to get there early. Don’t let the long to-go line scare you, you can seat yourself at any open table and a server will come over to take your order!

After stuffing our faces with beignets from the original beignet spot in New Orleans we walked to Jackson Square, which is just across the street. Jackson Square houses the Jackson Square Cathedral and is a staple landmark in New Orleans.

​Within and around the square you will see vendors selling artwork, musicians playing jazz, a number of physic and tarot card readers and many others doing odd acts for tips.  You will also get a taste of the beautiful architecture the French Quarter has to offer.

​After walking the square and surroundings areas it was time to head to our New Orleans cooking class at The Mardis Gras School of Cooking. This class takes place in the owner’s home and it is a really nice setting. It scheduled to lasts 3.5 hours and also includes unlimited mimosas, bellini’s, and wine.

​We chose to take the brunch class where we would be making shrimp and grits, crab cakes and Eggs Benedict and chicken and waffles. ​Not only did we learn the techniques of cooking these meals our instructor also taught us presentation skills as well.  The class was phenomenal and they provide you with each recipe so you can recreate what you mastered in class at home.

Our class ran over time so we were unable to visit Studio Be as we had prepaid tickets for a show. If you have a longer stay or opt out of one of our other suggestions you should check them out.

After our cooking classed we headed back to the French Quarter to see a show at Preservation Hall. They have different jazz bands play a 45-minute set with nightly shows at 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9pm. The hall is small so I recommend making a reservation online or plan to arrive early to stand in line to ensure a seat. Tickets are $20 and it’s cash only. You cannot take any photos or video while the show is going on but we were able to take a photo with the brass band leader afterwards. The music was amazing and I highly recommend making a visit.

We may have just completed a 3 course New Orleans cooking class but NOLA has some of the best food in the country so we were determined to eat as much as possible. This time we would be dining at an establishment off the beaten path. Unfortunately most local and family owned businesses can’t afford the retail space it costs to be on Bourbon Street but you can easily get an Uber or Lyft to take you to the. We chose Heard Dat Kitchen and there could not have possibly been a better choice.

plate of pasta with fried shrimp and fish  plate of mac and cheese and fried chicken

I ordered the Bourbon Street Love and my friend ordered the pasta special they had for the day. We were not disappointed at all and the best part is the story behind this business. Chef Jeff is the owner and the restaurants employees are his children all who have years of experience in the service industry.  Don’t worry about how the outside of the building of Heard Dat Kitchen looks, your taste buds will forever be thankful to you for blessing them with the delicious food served here.

It was time to walk off the 6,000 calories I’m sure we’d eaten for the day. We booked the Ghost and Vampire tour with French Quarter Phantom Tours, which starts at the Voodoo Lounge. The tour lasts 1.5-2hrs and while there are many stops you will end up walking about a mile so wear comfortable shoes. The tour was actually really informative and no, we didn’t see any ghosts but we did learn about some very weird, unexplainable, and unsolved mysteries in New Orleans. Do yourself a favor and request Malika as your tour guide, you won’t be disappointed! Another tour we considered is this Ghosts, Vampires, & Voodoo French Quarter Tour.

Day Two: The Ruby Slipper, Café Beignet, Tour Treme, & Whitney Plantation

We wanted a signature New Orleans breakfast so we chose the highly recommended Ruby Slipper Café. I ordered the shrimp omelet with grits and their homemade biscuit and my friend ordered the Grilled Fish ‘St. Peter’. She loved her meal but I was very disappointed in mine. My grits were watery, my biscuit tasted sour, and the wrong cheese was put in my omelet. ​

​Since I didn’t really eat my food it ended up being the perfect opportunity to try a different beignet shop. Café Beignet was a short walk away so we stopped there. Café Beignet was a little more expensive but their beignets are also bigger and a little fluffier. They also take credit cards which was a big win for me. Taste wise, I honestly can’t decide which one is better; Cafe du Monde and Cafe Beignet are neck in neck in my eyes.

It was time for our Tour Treme that we also booked through French Quarter Phantom Tours. Treme is the oldest African-American neighborhood in the United States occupied by free people of color. It’s a side of New Orleans that unfortunately most visitors skip. Home of Congo Square and where many great jazz artists and brass bands were born, you shouldn’t leave New Orleans without visiting. Tour lasts two hours and you’ll walk about a mile and a half, making stops along the way.

​After walking off breakfast it was time for lunch. We couldn’t leave New Orleans without having po’ boys and oysters so we headed to Café Fluer de Lis. You may also be interested in this African American & Creole History Tour that explores the Tremé neighborhood of New Orleans.

​After eating it was time to head to Whitney Plantation. It’s an hour outside of the city and you will need a car or a tour service to take you. While tempting you cannot take an Uber or Lyft to Whitney Plantation. You might get a driver to take you there but no one will come to pick you up. If you aren’t renting a car you must go with a tour company. Only guided tours are available and reservations are highly recommended. Tours run on the hour starting at 9AM with the last tour at 3PM and they last 1.5 hours.  Children 6 and under are free, children 6-10 are $10 and adults are $22.

slave owners plantation house

Whitney Plantation is the only Plantation tour in the New Orleans area that tells its stories from perspective of the slaves. The others are more about the slave owners and sugar coat the atrocities of slavery. While it can make for a tough and uncomfortable visit it is much needed.

After our tour it was time to head to the airport for our flights. We had an amazing 48 hours in New Orleans and hope you will too! Next time we hope to stay longer so we can check out more of these 65 things to do in New Orleans.

New Orleans Transportation

We rented a car since our Airbnb had a driveway with free parking. We drove to Café Du Monde because were arriving early and knew we would be able to find street parking. This also allowed us to drive to our cooking class but you can easily take the ferry there from Harrah’s. After our cooking class we parked the car at our Airbnb and took a Lyft to Preservation Hall. We did this as it’s near Bourbon Street and knew parking would be difficult to find or very expensive. City Sightseeing offers hop-on-hop off tours.

On Sunday’s the city offers free metered parking and we took full advantage. We drove to the Tour Treme meeting spot, allowing us to easily drive to Whitney Plantation afterwards. We booked the last Whitey Plantation tour time so we could head straight to the airport for our flights home.

Spending 48 hours in New Orleans gives you a taste of why it’s one of the top cities to visit in the US. I’m sure it will leave you wanting more but it’s also one of the best destinations for a quick getaway. Please share this article if you found it helpful!
