Japanese Village Plaza and Environs

I lived in DTLA for 10 years and this has always been the place. Across the street, the The Japanese American Museum is a must see, MOCA is right next door. On weekends the Plaza will be bustling with locals and cos-play kids and tourists, make sure to walk the larger areas as well. Visit Fugetsu-Do for the best Mochi, Cafe Dolce for a green tea donut, Oomasa for an old school Japanese dinner. Across the street Honda Plaza is Sushi Gen, still the best in LA. You can walk to the old arts district from here, and also the the Little Tokyo Galleria Mall which has a huge Korean grocery store, as well as karaoke, bowling and a Daiso. If you are lucky, Arthur Nakane will be playing in the Plaza and you WILL stay and listen.
