3) Japantown, San Francisco
Many cities have their own brand of Chinatown, but California can boast the only existing Japantown in the U.S. A major attraction of Japantown in San Francisco is the Japan Center, recognizable by clearly Japanese and Asian inspired design. Japanese themed hotels can also be found within this Western Addition area of the city. Enjoy a movie at an upscale local theater that serves alcoholic beverages during the screenings. If you’re spending the day in Japantown, you don’t want to miss the chance to visit Kabuki Springs & Spas. An authentic Japanese bath can be had here, along with Japanese inspired massages like Shiatsu. Japanese cultural experiences can be enjoyed with a visit to California’s Japantown, including a number of authentic Japanese restaurants, each with its own culinary spin on typical Japanese sushi, sashimi and cooked cuisine.
