@luxurylowdown: There’s an AMAZING skiing/snowboarding travel hack for Ikon Pass holders! If you are already snowboarding around Japan and HAVE YOUR GEAR WITH YOU, there’s an easy and cheap way that you can get some extra ski/snowboard days in. The resort is Lotte Arai and it’s one Shinkansen ride from Tokyo and then a free shuttle bus to the ski resort. The best part is that there’s a hotel near the train station that you can stay for only $45/night with breakfast! In the morning, all you have to do is then take the shuttle bus to the resort. #lottearai #skijapan #snowboardjapan #japantrip #hoteldeal
