We went here for my wife. She loves the small cafe at the base of the business but we were here for the shops upstairs. They have a great selection of various Lolita styles which she likes. A little bit expensive, but you can tell the shops offer quality products.

New people is an awesome collaborative of stores enriching the entire ambiance of Japantown. Ultra modern flair and design gives the structure and complex a true neo Japanese feeling. Make sure to check out all the elevens and stay updated on their list of events.

Neat little theatre in Japan town! With Kabuki across the street, the CAAM Fest is what brought me here. It is a very intimate setting below ground level. There is also a tea shop in the entrance. It is a cool spot!

I bought the coolest pair of tabi shoes and three pairs of socks at the sou sou store. They also had an amazing selection of clothes. And the man who sold me the shoes was literally the nicest person I've ever met in my entire life.
If I wasn't broke I'd be spending all my money there, the clothing is so bomb, and the service is a+
10/10 would spend my rent money there again.

Pretty cool venue that has a mashup of random store fronts. From coffee shops to Japanese fashion stores to a terrarium store to a floor where Real Escape game happens, you can get a taste of Japan when you walk in here. The stores change occasionally and there is even a movie theater downstairs. Cool place to just take a stroll and window shop.

If you’re going to Japan town and I recommend you stop by this place. There some very cute stores and an interesting little tea shop on the bottom floor. I recommend exploring that Japan center across the street and then coming over to have a cuppa tea and people watch.

Five stars for the originality alone! Movie theatre in the underground floor, cafe on the main floor and shopping and art on the upper levels.

The main boutique area has unique items from Japan, but tend to be on the pricier side. Things I liked were the handheld manual paper shredder and J-POP souvenir mugs.

Upstairs, just like at a Japanese department store, there are mini "stores" within the building. One in particular has the "Lolita" fashion featuring the style that reminds me of Holly Hobbie-meets-Little Bo Peep. Not exactly my cuppa tea, but it is refreshing to see lacy petticoats as opposed to the whole sexy schoolgirl look that used to be in. Out of curiosity, I picked up the price tag. Whoa $300 to look like a grown up doll?!?

Other stores were the "tabi" Vans. Well, not really Vans, but similar except you have the split toe and the requisite socks to go with them. Really cool fabrics! They were around $90 or so. Another shop that just opened featured air plants and moss balls. The perfect place to pick up something for the person who has everything.

Unfortunately the art gallery was shut, so I couldn't check it out. But next time I'm in J-town, I'm definitely coming back!
