Little Tokyo
About
Little Tokyo, on the east side of Downtown, is one of the largest Japantowns in the US and has been the heart of LA's Japanese American community since the late 1800s. Japanese Village Plaza has shops and sweets, the Japanese American National Museum is here, and there are long-running ramen, sushi and mochi spots. The Arts District is next door, with the Little Tokyo/Arts District Metro station serving both.
Jasmine says
A Japanese neighborhood over a hundred years old,
with sweets, ramen, bookstores and a shrine.
I like buying some wagashi at Japanese Village Plaza,
then slowly walking over to the Arts District.
It's not big,
but every time, I want to stay another half hour.
A Japanese neighborhood with desserts and bookstores, and a good neighbor to the Arts District.
