San Francisco Neighborhoods - Nihonmachi (Japantown)
Real Estate
Walking all the way through Japantown takes just minutes
and is the only way to go. Stores hawk the latest PokŽmon paraphernalia
and karaoke bars warble J-pop along Post St. around the Japan Center.
At its height, in the 1920s and '30s, Japantown spread over 20 blocks.
But Japanese Americans were forced out of their neighborhood twice --
once during the internment years during World War II, and again in the
late '50s, this time in the name of urban renewal. Japanese Americans
never came back in big numbers to live here.
