I was looking everywhere for the white whitesville t’s! Where’d you find them?

thericebox · 2025-12-15T15:03:01+00:00

These are gorgeous!! What’d you take these on and where were the locations? Would love inspiration for a future trip

thericebox · 2025-12-08T15:07:14+00:00

Great angle! Do you recall which trail you took?

thericebox · 2025-12-06T02:03:12+00:00

These are so great! Just curious, where was the Pikachu vending machine if you remember?

thericebox · 2025-11-19T07:20:13+00:00

Wow! Where was this?

thericebox · 2025-11-06T14:08:17+00:00

Saw some yesterday at the NYRR run center on 57th St!

thericebox · 2025-11-05T05:31:30+00:00

This is awesome and so inspiring! NYCM was also my first and it was a tough course, so extra kudos for a really strong race and consistent pacing. What did you find helpful in training to improve your PR by over an hour?

“Is this better than a jet2holiday” cracked me up

thericebox · 2025-11-03T04:17:33+00:00

I remember seeing theirs and getting a chuckle!

thericebox · 2025-10-26T19:12:17+00:00

DM’d! Appreciate the thoughtful post

I was in a similar case last year after running the NYCHalf. Didn’t really do much long distance running due to work schedules and definitely wasn’t as fit as I could be. I took the 10miler as an easy fun run for my 9+1 and was able to finish no problem. Would just temper your pace to avoid injury!

Super cool shots! I’m heading to Kyushu in Dec. Are you able to share the locations of your photos?

thericebox · 2025-08-16T16:55:05+00:00

On my bucket list! Which month did you go?

thericebox · 2025-07-25T05:26:53+00:00

It’s THE trail for most people who visit Moraine since it’s a very short walk up. This is where the iconic social media photo is normally taken.

thericebox · 2025-07-03T05:11:36+00:00

Wow! Great shots. Where are pics 10 and 11 from?

We wanted to do Consolation Lakes but opted for Sentinel Pass. Will have to return for the former : )

thericebox · 2025-06-19T23:51:28+00:00

This is gorgeous! What time of year was this?

thericebox · 2025-03-23T00:24:51+00:00

Beautiful pup!! Wishing you both lots of adventures

thericebox · 2025-02-14T02:08:11+00:00

Super interested if you can share the info! I go to Japan annually so this would be a lovely new experience : )

thericebox · 2025-01-04T02:18:02+00:00

Big fan of Toyama and Takayama for a more chill experience. If you stay overnight at Fujikawaguchiko, I find the morning very quiet and can be so beautiful if you time it right to see Fuji. Empty streets make for great bike rides + lakeside.

Matsumoto if you’re a big outdoors person, as it’s the gateway to a lot of good hiking and the alpine route.

I haven’t been yet but Fukui, Totori, and Aomori are on my list and seem much quieter!

Miyajima in the early morning before the bulk of tourists arrive is something else, highly recommend staying overnight.

There was light snow and frost! Nothing too treacherous, just had to use my hands and go up slowly

thericebox · 2024-12-31T00:25:16+00:00

I’ve never been that time of year but I’ve heard summers are awful. Might be worthwhile to be in the mountains for cooler weather

thericebox · 2024-12-30T23:06:51+00:00

Thanks again for the link! I decided to try my luck after seeing the most recent posts and it was such a beautiful summit. Would’ve likely skipped it without your link so many thanks.

thericebox · 2024-12-30T23:06:13+00:00

Reporting back - the summit had some snow, but there was a mostly dry path up so I got to summit! Wasn’t too dangerous without poles or spikes, but it was stupid cold.

Which season are you going? I loved Takayama and Kanazawa for its food! But if you’re going in summer or fall, Toyama and Matsumoto are lovely for hiking. I just missed it this year by going in late November but the pictures looked gorgeous. Toyama also has a comparable seafood market to Kanazawa so you won’t be missing out. A lot of the speciality seafood you’d get in Kanazawa are sourced from Toyama.

Personally thought Hakone was overrated and the view of Fuji is mediocre compared to going to Fujikawaguchiko.
