Little Tokyo

Japanese haunt

Between Broadway, Alameda, 3rd and Temple Streets
Los Angeles, CA 90012
+1 213 624 7300 (Tourist Information)

Little Tokyo is the Japanese version of Chinatown in downtown Los Angeles. Covering 67 acres of land and a mere four blocks, the area may not be as famed as its Chinese counterpart, yet it manages to retain a fair share of tourists and locals who come here to shop, eat and even look for a place to live. Having survived quite a few hard times, the area is now abuzz with businesses, restaurants, shops and hotels, notably the New Otani Hotel & Garden, the tallest in the area. Quaint, 19th century homes add ambiance to the place. Exploration is best done by foot. Note that credit cards and open hours will vary by business, so call ahead before you visit.
