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!

Things to Do in Memphis with Kids

December 8, 2020      Destinations, North America, Tennessee

This post contains affiliate links. If you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no cost to you. Please see our disclosure policy for more information. All opinions are my own.

After spending a weekend in Memphis in 2019 with friends I knew I had to return with my children. There are so many things to do in Memphis with kids and it’s the perfect trip for the whole family. My mom even joined us and a city with endless activities that can be enjoyed by a wide range of ages is always a win in my book. We spent three nights in Memphis and this is what we did!

This blog post is sponsored by Memphis Travel but all opinions are mine and true.

Outdoor Things to Do in Memphis with Kids

We visited Memphis with kids during Covid-19 so I’ll also be including things the city/attractions were doing to ensure our safety. As a start the city has a mask mandate for all public spaces!

Mud Island River Park

Mud Island River Park sits along the Mississippi River and has a cool scale of the whole river with informational signs along the way which gives information on the river. If you want to learn more about the river you can also visit the Mississippi River Museum that is here.

There is a ton of space here for kids to run around and for your family to have a picnic. It’s also where you can take a picture with the gigantic Memphis sign.

Explore Beale Street

While I don’t recommend bringing children to Beale Street at night, it’s a Memphis staple they can enjoy during the day. Take a stroll down and make stops at A. Schwab which has an old-fashioned soda fountain kids love. They will probably also bed you to stop at Sugar Shack which is known for their fudge and will let you try whatever flavors you like! Click here to explore “America’s Most Iconic Street” on a one-hour guided walking tour.

Walk the Big River Crossing and Enjoy the Mighty Lights Show

The Big River Crossing is the longest pedestrian and biking bridge over the Mississippi River. Open from 6AM to 10PM it connects Tennessee and Arkansas and you’ll be able to have one foot in Tennessee and one in Arkansas if you walk it.

If you visit Big River Crossing in the evening once the sun goes down you’ll be able to experience the Mighty Lights Show.This is when 100,000 LED lights create a show on the bridge with a variety of light sequences. The show happens hourly until 10pm and is free light the entire path.

Shelby Farms Park

One of our favorite things to do in Memphis with kids is visiting Shelby Farms Park. The park is massive and offers lots including special events, so be sure to check out their calendar. We spent our time at Shelby Farms Park riding bikes and enjoying the lake on a pedal boat.

We rented bikes at Hyde Lake and rode around the bike path there. If you visited on the weekend reservations are required for rentals but you can walk up Monday through Friday. They do not rent bikes with training wheels but they do offer bike trailers and tandem bikes in addition to regular bikes.

Once we rode around the lake it was time to get on the lake. You can rent stand up paddle boards, canoes, kayaks, and pedal boats. If you have your own boat you can bring it and enjoy the lakes here but if you’re fishing you need a license if you’re over 13!

If you visit during summer be sure to bring bathing suits for your kids so they can enjoy they Water Play Sprayground. You can also book horseback riding (8+) on the trails here or take a pony ride (4+). There is laser tag, paintballing, an obstacle course and more. You can easily spend all day here and never run out of things to do!

Memphis Zoo

We didn’t get a chance to visit the Memphis Zoo on this visit but I previously visited on my weekend in Memphis in 2019. The zoo is Egyptian themed from the outside and has really nice exhibits. If you have time, it’s worth visiting.

Historical Things to Do in Memphis with Kids

Memphis is filled with history and it’s highlighted throughout the city. We enjoyed learning more about the ways the city has shaped the US today.

Slave Haven Underground Railroad Museum

During Covid-19 reservations are required to visit the Slave Haven Underground Railroad Museum and tour capacity is limited. Before being allowed in the building your temperature is taken and masks are required on property. The museum was the home of abolitionist Jacob Burkle, a german immigrant who used his cellar to house enslaved Africans looking to escape via the underground railroad.

The tour which lasts 1-2 hours depending on your guide goes over the Atlantic slave trade, how enslaved Africans were bought and sold in Memphis, and how enslaved Africans used quilts embedded with cosed to navigate the underground railroad. 

On the tour you’ll be able to stand in the cellar Burkle used to protect enslaved Africans while on their journey to freedom. The house sits just two blocks from the Mississippi River and helped many enslaved Africans escape. It’s a must visit while in Memphis.

I Am A Man Plaza

The I Am a Man Plaza highlights the history of the Memphis Sanitation Workers Strike of 1968. The strike is what brought Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to Memphis, where he delivered his “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop speech”, the day before being assasinated. The plaza was a key rallying point of the strike and the sculpture lists the names of those who participated.

National Civil Rights Museum

The National Civil Rights Museum is located at the former Lorraine Motel where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. The museum covers civil rights history from slavery, through the Civil War, Reconstruction, Jim Crow and other events through the late 20th century that had strong influences on civil rights.

While the motel is no longer operating the facade of the motel remains and so does Dr. Martin Luther King’s room. Before exiting the museum you’ll be able to walk through this part of the building and see the room. 

Be prepared to explore the museum for at least 90 minutes but know it could take you much longer depending on how in depth you go in each exhibit as there are lots of interactive experiences.

Due to Covid-19 the museum is selling timed tickets and only allowing 50 guests in every 15 minutes to maintain social distancing. Hand sanitizer is available throughout the museum, face masks are required to be worn everywhere, and high touch areas are frequently sanitized.

The Withers Collection Museum and Gallery

The Withers Collection Museum and Gallery is the last studio of Dr. Ernest Withers. Withers is a native Memphian who is an internationally acclaimed photographer best known for his Civil Rights photography. The 1.8 million photographs he captured includes him covering the Emitt Till case, serving as a personal photographer for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and more. 

The gallery highlights his photography covering the Civil Rights movement, music from Elvis to Aretha, sports, and lifestyle. The collection is beautiful and you can purchase prints of anything you see here. During Covid, the gallery is accessible for private tours only where your group will be alone without other guests.

Things to Do in Memphis with Kids that Highlights Music

Memphis is the Home of the Blues and the Birthplace of Rock n’ Roll so you cannot visit here and not dive into the music culture. So many greats were born in Memphis or made legends in the city including Al Green, B.B, King, Elvis Presley, Isaac Hayes, Johnny Cash, Justin Timberlake and more. They’re highlighted at several attractions in the city, some which we were able to visit.

Stax Museum

If you love the Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Aretha Franklin and other soul music musicians you have to visit the Stax Museum. The Museum goes over the history of Stax Records and is located on the original site of the studio. These tickets allow you to explore the world’s only museum dedicated to preserving the legacy of American soul music.

My girls had the time of their lives dancing throughout the museum, especially at the Soul Train section. Next to the museum is the Stax Music Academy which has been serving at-risk youth since 2000 through mentoring and music education programs. Your support of the museum supports this program!

Graceland

Graceland is the famous home of Elvis Presley which he purchased in 1957 and lived with his parents until his death. He along with his parents and grandmother are buried on the property. Graceland is much more than a house tour; it’s a massive compound that includes showrooms of his cars, planes and personal belongings. This tour gives you VIP access to Graceland as well as a tour of Nashville.

While part of the tour is outside a lot is inside and Graceland is checking temperatures upon entry, requiring advance reservations and limiting the number of guests on the shuttle. The tour starts with you walking through the downstairs and basement of the home which is still decorated the way it was when Elvis passed.

Living room in Graceland.

With only 3 days in the city we couldn’t visit every musical attraction but hope to visit these the next time we’re in Memphis with kids.

  • Memphis Music Hall of Fame
  • Memphis Rock n’ Soul Museum
  • Blues Hall of Fame
  • Sun Studios

Where to Stay in Memphis with Kids

When deciding where to stay we thought about the things to do in Memphis with kids and how we could be in close proximity to them. We chose the Canopy Downtown Memphis which was walking distance to a lot of the things we did. This helped with not having to constantly load the kids in and out of the car and let us discover things that weren’t on our itinerary. 

The Canopy Downtown Memphis opened October 2019 and is part of the Hilton family. The hotel has King, double Queens, deluxe rooms and one bedroom suites. The hotel also has a lush lobby, gym, and meeting room.

Onsite is a small cafe serving breakfast and the celebrity chef ran restaurant, Curfew, which serves lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. We ate here for dinner and it was absolutely amazing, so good we snuck in another meal here before we left!

Masks are required in all public spaces of the hotel, elevators are limited to those in your party, housekeeping is by request only and 

Where to Eat in Memphis with Kids

Memphis is foodie heaven and while the city is known for BBQ there is so much more to eat here. 

Breakfast in Memphis

Hustle & Dough

If you want a good breakfast but want to avoid the crowardness of a typical sit down restaurant, Hustle & Dough is the place for you. They don’t have the most extensive menu but what they do have is excellent. My husband said this was the best avocado toast he’s ever had! They have two small tables for outdoor seating.

Arcade Restaurant

If you like to visit restaurants featured on the Food Network you have to come to Arcade Restaurant as it’s been on just about every food channel. They’re famous for their Sweet Potato pancakes. There are about four tables outside for table service.

Sunrise Memphis

This was personally my favorite breakfast in Memphis. There are so many options available here and they actually have turkey bacon, for someone who doesn’t eat beef or pork visiting Memphis I felt like I was in heaven. You order and pay at the register but if dining in you’re given a number for your table and staff will bring your food out. They have lots of outdoor seating and the indoor seating is also open air.

Lunch and Dinner

Gus’ Fried Chicken

If you leave Memphis without having the world famous Gus’ Fried Chicken some people won’t believe you ever came. Their chicken is so juicy and it’s the only meat they offer. If coming for lunch order ahead or arrive early as they are extremely popular and you’ll encounter a line otherwise. Their downtown location does not have outdoor seating but it’s two minutes from River Garden Park so you can take your food to go and have a picnic.

Slider Inn

The Slider Inn has a huge outdoor section and on Saturdays they have live music starting at 1pm. They have a large food selection and they aren’t stingy with the portions. We really enjoyed our meal here and the kids loved dancing while waiting for their food.

Charlie Vergos’ Rendezvous

Infamous for their charcoal ribs, they have the cutest outdoor seating section in the alley. My mom and husband who do eat meat said they were very tender! If you don’t eat red meat like me they have a delicious BBQ chicken option!

We spent 3 days exploring the city and while there are more things to do in Memphis with kids coming for a long weekend is the perfect getaway. Memphis was just one of the stops on our Tennessee road trip. If you have time while in the state it’s worth visiting other cities.
