Where is Toronto's "Little Tokyo" or "Japan Town" located? |
Travel Info Street names and closest subway station would help. any links would be a plus... Travel Tips There really isn't a Japan-town per se in Toronto as one of the other respondants wrote....but there are plenty of Asian restaurants and stores, of which you'd find Japanese ones also, though not necessarily run by Japanese. One of the best - taste and price-wise - I have found personally, is a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant at Midland Ave. and Ellesmere Rd. by the name of Niji (meaning, Rainbow) operated/owned by a Korean family with the most delicious and generous specials including sushi you could ask for. There are many Asian food stores for groceries, candies, videos, etc. in northern Scarborough area, called Agincourt, which the locals have renamed Asiancourt for the Asian invasion which occurred when Hong Kong was returned to the Chinese and Toronto experienced a huge influx of Hong Kong Chinese, but also a lot of Japanese, too in recent years. Downtown area restaurants and stores will also satisfy but maybe just not the wallet(!) as things are very expensive, for the most part there. Japanese retailers and restauranteurs are fairly spread out, though on the whole, here and there in Toronto. Sorry, not new info - just confirming what was already said... Source(s): I am (part) Japanese-Canadian and have also lived in Japan and am from Toronto originally, and when I need my Japanese "fix", it always requires a little driving around and researching the areas. Japanese aren't as cohesive as the Chinese and other Asian communities. Other Travel Tips ... i can only think of the japanese cultural centre located on wynford drive ....closest major intersection don mills and eglington....there are japanese restaurants but i've never heard of any " japan town " in toronto ....born in toronto I do not think that there is one. I did not hear about that; however, someone told me that Canadian have arrested all Japanese during Second World War and treated hem very badly, and never ask a apology from them, that way I really don't know too many Japanese in Canada. The Japanese in town, as in a lot of cities, are pretty spread out. You'll find unique stores all over downtown, but not a cluster. You can try http://www.japantown.ca/, there's a lot of shopping options there. |
