Why Here

The Historic
Fillmore District

Once deemed the “Harlem of the West,” The Fillmore District was the Pacific Coast epicenter of black entertainment, music and culture. Since the 1950s and well through the early 70s, the Fillmore District featured legendary jazz & blues performers and was home to 20 blocks of black businesses.

Japantown

Japantown dates back to 1906, when the Great Earthquake and Fire devastated Japanese enclaves in Chinatown and South of Market, and the Japanese community began to move to the Western Addition area of San Francisco.

During World War II, the entire Japanese community of San Francisco were forced from their homes and relocated to internment camps. Released in 1945, they slowly begin to return to the West Coast.

Today, Japantown offers tourists many opportunities for shopping, eating, and entertainment, as well as a look at the area’s history.
