"Japantown is nowhere near as big or popular as Chinatown. Which is good because it won’t be as crowded! There aren’t as many of the cheap crappy tourist shops here, but there really isn’t all that much Japanese stuff, either. There’s a shopping center with some Japanese stores and restaurants, and then more of the same outside the shopping center! There’s a cool little grocery store to get Japanese snacks and food. You can definitely get your Hello Kitty fix, too! & chopsticks… there are chopsticks and sushi sets galore! There are some really beautiful sushi sets, actually, and they make good presents. So, if you like Japanese stuff, and you’re looking to buy stuff or windowshop, obviously Japantown is great! If you’re coming to experience Japanese culture… I don’t really think this is the place to do it."
