Japantown (also known as "Nihonmachi, "Little Osaka," and "J Town") comprises about six square city blocks in the Western Addition in San Francisco. The area is home to a large number of Japanese restaurants, supermarkets, indoor shopping malls, hotels, banks and other shops, including one of the few U.S. branches of the large Kinokuniya bookstore chain. The main thoroughfare is Post Street. Its focal point is Japan Center (opened in 1968), the site of three Japanese oriented shopping centers and the Peace Pagoda.
