Only covering six square blocks, Japantown still stands as a significant cultural center of San Francisco.

The coordinates above will lead you to the Peace Plaza in Japantown, and the nearby Japantown Center, which is a good place to begin your wanderings in this part of town.

There is a short self-guided historical walk that begins here as well, if you have the time to take in some of the rich history of the area.
