5. Japantown

When the weather is being unpredictable, Japantown, with 2 huge indoor malls is one of my go to places. I love to explore as many shops as I can and there are always lots of hidden surprises. But some of my favs include:

Daiso, a Japanese dollar store that has everything from cool Japanese lunch containers to take-apart erasers and Japanese snacks.

Kinokuniya Bookstore is a great place to find interesting book and magazines including manga (Japanese comic books).

For a fun activity, take the kids to "Pika Pika," a room full of photo booths where your kids can create photo stickers with fun and creative backdrops.

Food with kids, Isobune Sushi, is classic. It's the famous place with the wooden boats that go around.

Benkyodo Company makes great mochi. I bring home a big box every time.

Belly Good Crepes are so darling your kids will be so delighted.

May's Coffee Shop has delicious taiyaki, a fish-shaped griddle cake with various stuffings (sweet been, chocolate, etc.). Yummy shave ice too.

Before heading home, stop at Nijiya Market and pick up Japanese food items including sushi to go!

6. Bowling

If bowling is up your alley check out Country Club Bowl in San Rafael or Presidio Bowl in San Francisco.

7. Ice Skating

Head to the coolest indoor ice skating rinks at Snoopy’s Home Ice in Santa Rosa or Yerba Buena Ice Skating in San Francisco.

8. Visit the Library or Bookstore

Why not take the opportunity to catch up on a great book, or check out some books for the whole family to enjoy at one of the many Bay Area Libraries. Or seek out a local bookstore: Diesel, A Bookstore, Book Passage, Copperfields, Books Inc., Green Apple Books, Depot Bookstore & Cafe, so many to choose from.
