Little Tokyo is now 1 of 3 remaining historic Japantowns left in the nation, nearly 140 years old, the 2nd oldest neighborhood in Los Angeles, and a CA Cultural District. Home to some of our nation’s most important Japanese American institutions, Little Tokyo has been dramatically reshaped by 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!
