ABOUT LITTLE TOKYO
Little Tokyo is one of four remaining historic Japantowns left in the nation, the 2nd oldest neighborhood in Los Angeles at 141 years old and a CA Cultural District. Home to some of our nation’s most important Japanese American institutions, Little Tokyo has been dramatically reshaped by the WWII Japanese American incarceration camps and decades of redevelopment and displacement. Yet Little Tokyo has and continues to be the cultural home for the Southern California Japanese American community and our historically multi-ethnic community.
