Japantown

Fodor's Review:

Unlike the ethnic enclaves of Chinatown, North Beach, and the Mission, the 5-acre Japan Center (Bordered by Laguna, Fillmore, and Post Sts. and Geary Blvd. No phone) is under one roof. The three-block complex includes a reasonably priced public garage and three shop-filled buildings. Especially worthwhile are the Kintetsu and Kinokuniya buildings, where shops sell things like bonsai trees, tapes and records, jewelry, antique kimonos, tansu (Japanese chests), electronics, and colorful glazed dinnerware and teapots.
