Japantown

There is a population of Japanese Americans and Japanese expatriates in Greater Seattle, whose origins date back to the second half of the 19th century. Prior to World War II, Seattle's Japanese community had grown to become the second largest Nihonmachi on the West Coast of North America.

Seattle’s Japantown, or Nihonmachi, is a microcosm of Japanese American history — from the first settlers in the late nineteenth century to modern preservation efforts today.

Japantown is a fun, interesting neighborhood of eateries, shops, artists and entrepreneurs.
