This past weekend we decided to stroll through Japan Town San Francisco.
This place is not as extensive as China town but is good a shopping mall of all Japanese products, food et all.
After the 1906 Earthquake many Japanese and Japanese Americans relocated to the area where you see SF Japantown today. WWII broke out and 120,000 Japanese Americans were ordered to pack up and leave. They were sent to 10 relocation camps. After the war, the neighborhood changed to reflect the more dispersed character of the postwar community, from Nihonjin Machi to Nihonmachi, or “Japantown.” Urban renewal or “Redevelopment” resulted in the displacement of thousands of established residents. Scores of businesses closed, stately Victorians and other structures were moved or destroyed. 30 blocks of Nihonmachi was reduced to less than 10 blocks.
The 1960’s brought the Japan Cultural and Trade Center which is now called Japan Center mall. This 5 acre property houses specialty shops and restaurants. SF Japantown is one of only three Japantowns remaining in the U.S. today.
Just couldn't let go this beautiful wall...
I do not think she likes me bringing her in frame!! Oops sorry...
He loved running behind pigeons and poor pigeons got scared and ran away ;)
Their crepes are yummiest tasty and you just cannot eat only one!! Plus Japanese sweets are very less on sweeter side which is what I like, infact their icecream had taste rather than just being sweet.
On a side note since was in town and near to the very famed DOSA restaurant decided to try it.. hmmm it was fine nothing that great apart from the ambience but it on a bit expensive side. Nevertheless a good try!!

This top is so beautiful Popsicle print and not to mention pure cotton. Love the look and feel. My skin is very sensitive so I am very cautious about the clothes I buy and this one is the best 😊.
