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!

📍Fushimi Inari Taisha
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!

Staying at KEYSTONE SKI RESORT with kids: Things to do & See!

Planning a ski vacation with the kids for the first time? Keystone, Colorado is an excellent choice! Keystone Resort is one of the most family-friendly options in Co. With so many things to do in Keystone, and skiing lessons to take advantage of, it’s hard not to have fun. If you’re coming with kids or grandkids then here are some great activities that will keep them entertained while ensuring they get their full quota of winter sports. We decided to give our daughter the gift of learning to ski for her 3rd birthday. We landed on Keystone as her bday destination after searching for the best family-friendly ski resort options in Colorado.

Not only is Keystone ranked as one of the best ski resorts in North America by Ski Magazine. The slopes offer something for everyone from beginners all the way up to experts who want more challenging runs and steeps. Keystone also offers plenty of family-friendly activities like tubing down beginner trails as well as options to rent snowmobiles or ATVs. After spending four amazing days at Keystone Ski Resort and two days taking lessons at Keystone Ski School I can confidently say Keystone Ski Resort is one of the most family-friendly best ski resorts in Colorado for families! Here’s everything you need to know about planning a trip to Keystone Ski Resort.

Keystone Ski School Best Ski Resorts in Colorado For Families

How to Get Cheap Flights to Denver

Flying can be a large expense, especially when traveling with kids. The flight cost alone can break the bank, not to mention other expenses like hotels and car rentals on top of that! When traveling to Keystone ski resort you will need to fly into Denver International Airport. We paid a total of $410 round trip for our family of four to fly from Fort Lauderdale to Denver on Spirit Airlines. You can get cheap flights to Denver by scoring a flight deal or if your dates are flexible you can use Skyscanner to search the cheapest time to fly to Denver.

How to Get from Denver to Keystone

Keystone Ski Resort is 95 miles from Denver International Airport. You can get to the resort by renting a car or by booking a shuttle from Denver to Keystone. Since we were traveling during the winter and aren’t used to driving in snow being from Miami we decided taking from shuttle from Denver to Keystone would be best.

We booked our shuttle from Denver to Keystone with Epic Mountain Express and were very pleased with their service. They were on time both ways with pleasant drivers and free wi-fi on the shuttle. Epic Mountain Express offered car seats free of charge so we didn’t have to travel with ours. If you need to travel with car seats because of how you’re getting to/from the airport at home here are tips on traveling with a car seat.


Keystone’s Resort Lodging 

Staying at Keystone Resort with kids can be expensive, but they do offer a few affordable options. One of the reasons Keystone Ski Resort has earned a post on Ski Magazine’s list is because of their accommodations and being so family-friend. Just because we have kids, doesn’t mean that we don’t enjoy winter skiing in Colorado. While some of the other ski resorts in CO aren’t kid-friendly it’s nice to know we have a place we love where we can let loose and just have fun!

The options for Keystone Resort Lodging are endless. We spent our 4 nights at Keystone’s Dakota Lodge in a two-bedroom two-bathroom condo with a fully equipped kitchen, fireplace, and balcony.

In addition to condo-style rooms, Dakota Lodge has ski lockers and a year-round hot tub and heated pool. Soaking in the hot tub after skiing is a very popular activity and we gave it a try. If you’re doubtful know that it feels so good once you’re in but getting in and out is very chilly!

Kids Ski Free at Keystone Ski Resort

Yes you read that correctly! If you are staying at any of Keystones Resort Lodging for at least two nights your kids 12 and under ski free for one day. Each additional night booked equals an additional day of skiing. This does not include lessons at Keystone Ski School but if your kids are comfortable on the slopes this is a great savings.

I am not sure if they enforce this as we have younger children, but one thing to be conscious of if your child is older between 10-12 is they may ask for proof of age to participate in their kids ski free program. A passport or birth certificate will work. Also, to claim your kids ski free lift passes you must have proof of lodging with a room key.

Keystone Ski School

Keystone Ski School is one of the main reasons we choose to take our daughter here for her birthday. Kids can start participating in Keystone Ski School at 3 years old as long as they are potty trained. Lessons at the kids Keystone Ski School last from 9AM-3:30PM and include lunch, snacks and multiple breaks for the kids to stay warm and play in the snow. Our kids participated in the Ultimate 4 Ski lessons where there are four students to one instructor. They loved it but skiing can be tiring for kids. When they’re ready for a break check out these other four winter activities to do in Colorado that your kids are bound to love.

First day of ski school at Keystone Ski Resort

My husband and I also took ski lessons and the adult ski school at Keystone is just as amazing as their kids ski school. Adult lessons don’t start until 10:00AM giving you plenty of time to check-in and say bye to your kids taking lessons. We also took group lessons and your lessons in this booking option are based on skill level. If you’ve skied before but aren’t too sure of your level when you start your lesson don’t worry. Once your lesson starts your instructor will evaluate you and if they feel you need to move up or down a level they will get you to the right instructor. While a lunch break is taken during lessons they don’t include lunch so that will be an additional cost.

For our second day at Keystone Ski School we took a family private lesson and it was great spending the day together. However, if you have varying ski levels know the lesson will be catered to those least skilled. This means those most skilled won’t be hitting any of the bigger slopes if members of your family are beginners. If this applies to your family and you want something catered to each person level skip the family private lesson. It’s cold on the slopes so make sure you family stays warm with this Ski Trip Packing List.

Kidtopia Keystone, An Epic Program for Kids at Keystone Ski Resort

While Keystone Resort Lodging is great for families, Kidtopia is what really sets Keystone Ski Resort apart from the rest, making it the Best Ski Resort in Colorado for Families. We have never stayed at a resort that went so above and beyond for their smallest guests. Upon check-in each child is given a backpack with special welcome items just for them!

Free Daily Kidtopia Events at Keystone Ski Resort

Each day there are daily Kidtopia events at Keystone Ski Resort and they are all free! These events include a create your own milkshake social, matinee movie, family snowshoeing, painting class and cupcakes, crafts and face painting, and Saturday night fireworks. Every Saturday Kidtopia Keystone has a Village Parade. The parade starts at Keystone Ski School and ends at the Decrum Ice Skating Rink. Kids can participate by either walking in the parade or sitting in the float. Of course it ends with tons of high-fives and cookie galore!

Keystone Ski Resort Best Ski Resorts in Colorado For Families Keystone Village Parade

Kidtopia Headquarters and Child Care Services

Another reason Keystone Ski Resort is the best ski resort in Colorado for families is their child care services. Kids ages 2 months to 6 years old can be dropped off for babysitting from 8:30AM-4:00PM. This allows parents with kids too young to ski or who aren’t interested to enjoy the slopes worry-free. The child care is inside Kidtopia Headquarters located right outside of Keystone Village making drop off before skiing very convenient. There are multiple play rooms so not to worry, your kids will not be bored.

Kidtopia Snow Fort and Playgrounds

What child wouldn’t be excited about a snow fort! Well Kiptopia has one at the top of Decrum Mountain and it’s kid heaven. There are crawl spaces, slides, and even ropes to climb. The only downfall is you have to take the gondola to access it which requires a lift ticket. If you’re only skiing one day make sure you visit the Kidtopia snow fort on that day.

If your child rather play on a traditional playground Keystone Ski Resort has got you covered. There is a playground right outside of Keystone Kidtopia Headquarters. In addition to this playground we also saw another one in Keystone Village. Kids cannot be slowed down by snow!

Kidtopia Keystone Tubing

If your child is too young to ski or they just need a break the tubing offered at Keystone Ski Resort is the perfect option. While most tubing locations require you to be a minimum of 42” or taller Keystone made it a point not to leave out their shortest guests. The resort offers two locations where kids 42” and under can enjoy tubing at Keystone. Just another well thought out consideration making Keystone with kids the absolute best!

One option is the bunny hill at Adventure Point Tubing where the big tubing hills are. Tubing here is free for kids 42” and under. Just grab a tube from the check-in area for the big hill tubing. Unlike the paid Keystone tubing there is no time limit and you can stay as long as you’d like. This area is great for families with kids of varying ages. Taller kids can go down the seven tubing hills while you push your shorter child down the bunny hill. Everyone is  still in the same area so you can keep an eye on your older children. If there are two adults you can also easily switch out taking turns going down the big hill while the other adult tends to your younger child.

The other tubing location is at Keystone Nordic Center. Here the entire family can go down the hill together. While it may not be as thrilling as Adventure Point Tubing it is still a whole lot of fun. This spot is especially perfect when there is only one adult in your party and you don’t have any children that meet the height requirement for Adventure Point Tubing. You and your children can link tubes and all go down the hill together and no one is left out. 

Things to Do Near Keystone Ski Resort

Visit the Ice Castles

Dillon, Colorado is only ten minutes from Keystone Ski Resort and we visited one evening for to check out the Ice Castles. It’s basically an ice playground for kids with crawl spaces, ice slides, and a variety of ice sculptures. There is even a fire show on Friday and Saturday nights.  As the sculptures are all made from snow/ice and it’s an open air display the time it opens each winter is dependent on the weather. Check out their website to see when they’;; be open this winter season. Tickets often sell out, so they recommend purchasing in advance. Be sure to wear your ski gear to fully enjoy all the Ice Castles have to offer

Go Snowmobiling

Snowmobiling is such a fun activity and there are plenty of options near Keystone. We went with White Mountains Snowmobile Tours as they drop off and pick up right at Keystone Ski Resort. Kids are able ride with an adult starting at 4 years old. For kids 4-6 they only changed $30 as opposed to the full price. During the tour there is an opportunity for the little ones to drive their own mini snowmobile. This was definitely the highlight of the tour for my daughter.
