The Scene
Little Tokyo Square offers three small floors of Japanese shops. Since it's a few blocks away from Little Tokyo, the shopping center attracts customers who find it by word of mouth or by accident. While most of the stores cater to Japanese tourists who find comfort in familiarity, others will appreciate the practical nature of the shops within.

The Goods
Get useful and decorative Japanese dishware at Utsuwa-No-Yakata, Guess sunglasses at Spiga, a new Japanese pop CD at Asahiya Books and Music, a bouquet for a loved one at the florist, trim your mane at Hair Salon, prepare for your special day at the bridal store, stock up on karaoke hits and even go grocery shopping at Mitsuwa Marketplace. There's also assorted gifts at Alpha Gifts Suite, and when the kids start complaining, get them some snacks at L.A. Scoops.
