Los Angeles: Little Tokyo – A taste of Japan in LA

  • Last updated:December 5, 2019
Little Tokyo, Los Angeles

Tokyo is one of my favorite cities in the world, but it’s been a while since my last visit. Man, I need to go back!  Though until I’m able to board the next flight to the land of sushi and sake, I’ll have to make do with what I find along the way. Such as Little Tokyo in Los Angeles.

Little Tokyo is centered around Japanese Village Plaza, which is an outdoor shopping mall. The area only spans a few blocks, but it’s still a great place to visit, both for sightseeing and for tasty Japanese food. At the restaurants you can get sushi in all price ranges as well as ramen and yakitori. There are also shops selling fun Japanese stuff, and today we were lucky to spot an LA cosplay girl and Hello Kitty.

Los Angeles has so many ethnic neighborhoods, and in addition to Little Tokyo, Chinatown and Koreatown are also worth a visit, when you’re craving Asian food and culture.

Mitzie Mee - Sanne

Los Angeles is a city you don’t quite figure out all at once. It unfolds slowly, neighborhood by neighborhood, mile by mile. Vast and sun washed, cinematic and oddly intimate, it’s a place of constant contrast. Morning hikes in the canyons. Long lunches that stretch into late afternoon. Evenings that end by the ocean with salt in your hair and traffic humming somewhere in the distance. What I love most about LA is that it feels less like a single city and more like a collection of distinct worlds stitched together by freeways and palm trees. A strip mall might hide one of the best meals you’ll have all year. A quiet residential street can lead to a view that stops you in your tracks. The glamour is there if you look for it, but so is a relaxed, everyday rhythm that makes the city surprisingly livable. On this page, I’ve gathered my Los Angeles favorites. The restaurants I return to. The neighborhoods I linger in. The places that capture the particular mix of ambition, creativity, and laid back energy that defines the city.
