- There are three Japantowns recognized by the state of California: San Francisco, San Jose and Los Angeles. This AAPI Heritage Month, we're taking a closer look at the communities in the Bay Area and exploring their challenges. Not only during the pandemic but how they've adapted to survive and how they're looking to thrive in the future.

i always visit daiso when im there. i love Japantown
I went to Japantown hardware store in SF. They have lots of innovative, space-saving items. ❤
Are you advertising?!?!?
@@guy-tn2ud No.
Love that shop.
I'm Chinese...but love me some Japan!
Tough time for small business in pro criminal environment. Good luck 👍
Love Japan town, the people, the businesses, the food! Lovely! Best accommodations!
The law is killing off asian market
There isn't enough seating in the general areas near Mochill, Matcha, and the upstairs Crepe place!!!
San Francisco clean up the crime
It's too amazing to lose
Wake up
Tech, San Francisco shopping districts and "face recognition" - individual retail stores generate a registration/membership data base;
plus establishment entry locks that function with uploaded photos, and registered individual recognition.
A "free enterprise" version of "social credit ratings", that is a milder version of martial law intervention.
OK Sparky. Turn off the science fiction. Life is real.
my observation is that younger generations of Japanese people do not want to be involved in Japantown anymore. If you look at the interviews of the shop owners, a large portion of the owners are no longer japanese. I am not saying that is right or wrong. But the lack of interest and the dispersal of the subesequent japanese american diaspora, will likely be the demise of the various Japantowns. There is definatly an interest in Japanese culture and food in the US, but those things are no longer focused in Japantowns.
rent control!
The greedy landlords are mostly to blame.
I think the Moshi owners will do well because they are a niche product and it's fresh food they are making. But it's doomsday for regular eateries and such. Only the few will survive. Who wants to run a business in the crime infested Frisco?
time go go. not worth stayiing
the illegal lockdowns cleared it out
No need to fear Breed Spending $800million on homeless non profits that,will waste it on themselves and the tourism associtaion sill spend twns of million to beg people to come visit SF
Jtown in LA is dead already
There is no rebirth its still a death that,will last,years. They act like things are back to normal ahahah
California Dems do not want the middle class in this state. They want poor, helpless individuals to not trust each other and follow the leader.
Those “poor, helpless individuals” made California the world’s fifth biggest economy.
Just leave. Democrats tax too high
They will let the business dry, stop tourism and people with families move out, but not stop funding activists and non "profits" for on purpose homelessness on streets. I mean how would you control the drug junkies trashing and yelling on each street.
