Little Tokyo, Historic Japanese district in Downtown Los Angeles, United States.
Little Tokyo spans several blocks of Downtown Los Angeles with traditional Japanese architecture, gardens, shops, restaurants, and cultural institutions.
Japanese immigrants established this district in 1885, creating a community that grew into the largest Japanese settlement in North America before World War II.
The Japanese American National Museum preserves historical artifacts, documents, and photographs depicting Japanese American experiences throughout generations.
The district connects to multiple public transportation options, including the Metro Gold Line station and several bus routes serving Downtown Los Angeles.
During World War II, the area transformed into Bronzeville when African American residents occupied the vacant properties after Japanese American internment.
