Neighborhood

Located in between Hyde Park and Downtown San Jose, Japantown is a small historic neighborhood with a bold culture. Japantown, San Jose is one of the last three Japantowns in the United States and residents here are proud of their rich heritage. Locals celebrate their vibrant roots through hosting cultural events throughout the year. Some of these events are held at the Japanese American Museum of San Jose, which features permanent and rotating exhibits, chronicling over a hundred years history.

Japantown is known for its authentic dining scene serving Japanese, Japanese-American, Indian, and Hawaiian fare. Along with delicious eateries, the neighborhood has tons of eclectic clothing stores, hip galleries, and vibrant karaoke bars. This neighborhood is home to the only year-round farmers market in the valley.

For a breath of fresh air, residents can walk or take a short drive to one of the several parks in or near the neighborhood.
