Japan Center

Flying to the United States from Australia can be exhausting—more than twelve hours and seemingly endless connections and make for a long day as you fly back in time.

I've never stayed in Japantown before this trip to San Fran, but I am so glad I did. There's really nothing like flavorful, healthy, light Japanese food and a cold Asahi to pull you through those long jet-lagged hours before an acceptable bedtime.

It's authentic, friendly, and inexpensive, too.
