3 Fun Things to Do in Little Tokyo

Spending your day off close to home in Little Tokyo is the perfect way to relax, particularly when you visit:

Union Center for the Arts
Koyasan Buddhist Temple
Japanese American National Museum

Union Center for the Arts

Union Center for the Arts
120 Judge John Aiso Street A
213-617-3274

The Union Center for the Arts has been firmly rooted in Little Tokyo since the 1920s. There are three community arts organizations inside: LA Artcore, East West Players and Visual Communications. Each puts on its own spectacular presentations, including musicals and plays, exhibits, and workshops and training sessions in film and photography.

Koyasan Buddhist Temple

Koyasan Buddhist Temple
342 East 1st Street
213-624-1267

The Koyasan Buddhist Temple is open to the public and admission is free, although donations are always welcome. You can ring the bell at the entrance (it’s off an unmarked alley on 1st Street, so you’ll have to look for it) and they’ll guide you inside.

Japanese American National Museum

Japanese American National Museum
100 North Central Avenue

The Japanese American National Museum is a spectacular place to check out. With traveling and permanent exhibitions that all tie into the role Japanese culture plays here in the United States, it’s a must-see.

We wanted to mention the James Irvine Japanese Garden, but it’s scheduled to be closed all year. It should reopen by 2020, once construction on its latest project is complete.
