Little Tokyo isn’t just a Los Angeles neighborhood—it’s a living, breathing testament to resilience, tradition, and evolution. Join me, an actor and storyteller, for a tour through its storied streets and a deep dive into Japanese American culture, from hidden historical gems to contemporary pop culture hotspots with some handcrafted treats along the way.
• Begin at the Japanese American National Museum to learn about the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, and trace their journey through the timeline etched along First Street.
• At Fugetsu-Do, a family-run sweetshop since 1903, hear the story of perseverance behind this beloved store while enjoying handcrafted mochi and manju.
• Dive into the vibrant world of contemporary Japanese entertainment, from claw machines to collectible figurines, at Anime Jungle and Japanese Village Plaza.
• Wrap up at Mitsuru Cafe, where I’ll share the rich history of sushi and the nuances of Japanese dining. Learn the proper way to enjoy sushi, from chopstick etiquette to dipping techniques, while savoring an authentic culinary experience.
Whether you’re passionate about history, love delicious food, or are an admirer of Japanese pop culture, you’ll gain a rich appreciation for them all on this tour.
