Japantown
If you want to live in an environment that's peaceful and quiet, Japantown is the right place for you. The quaint town center's ""Hollywood Vista,"" is a popular hangout for visiting San Luis Obispo visitors. You can enjoy some of the best food in town at the Delano Restaurant. There are also many fine dining restaurants in Japantown, but if you're looking for somewhere more casual or affordable to eat, then try La Casona or Bamboo Steakhouse.
Japantown has grown into an area where people of all income levels live. The average home here is well over five hundred dollars. The homes range from small two-bedroom units to larger three or four bedroom dwellings. Japantown has a reputation of having some of the most beautifully landscaped properties on the West Coast.
One thing you will notice immediately when you visit Japantown is that it's very ""hip."" There are many trendy clothing shops, cafes and eating places, but there's nothing like the laid back atmosphere of the old style cigar clubs. Of course there's no reason to leave your luxurious hotel suite or resort. Japantown is just a short drive away from Napa and Sonoma wine country, and just across the bridge from the Golden Gate Bridge. It's the perfect weekend getaway destination for those who love to travel to beautiful scenery. Japantown also offers horse rides, boating, and golf.
If you prefer to stay in the quiet of a more rural setting, then you should consider spending part of your trip in the area. Or maybe you'd rather spend your day exploring the culture of one of the many ethnic neighborhoods dotting the Japantown area. As a result, there are plenty of museums, art galleries and zoos to keep you engaged. If you're interested in nature, then there's plenty of hiking and biking trails to explore as well.
A quick stop to take pictures is definitely required when touring Japantown. Don't miss out on the beautiful archway arch over the street. Just be sure to have your camera ready as you pass this lovely landmark! Another great thing to do is stop by at the Japanese Friendship Garden in West Potomac Park to enjoy the beautiful sights of the Washington Crossing toll road.
Whether you're interested in historic Japantown or the exciting life and culture of the larger cities just a drive down the street, it's easy to find something to do in the area. And don't worry if you don't feel like doing anything for a while. With all the fun Japantown has to offer, you'll soon forget what you were even thinking about while in the area.
