Jane On Fillmore

Ice cream from Portland with a monthly flavor menu, near the Alta Plaza playground.

A coffee shop on Fillmore Street near Alta Plaza Playground.

Up about five sets of stairs at the top of a terraced hill, a playground with a view across the city.

Japantown hotel with a courtyard and a games room, good with school-age kids.

Small arcade of Japanese claw machines and rhythm games. Cheap, indoors, and a reliable twenty minutes when the weather turns.

Japantown ramen with a moderate room; toddlers and up slurp along.
