Japan Center (San Francisco)
The Japan Center is a shopping center in the Japantown neighborhood of San Francisco, California. It opened in March 1968 and was originally called the Japanese Cultural and Trade Center.[1] It is composed of three malls: the Kinokuniya Mall, Kintetsu Mall, and Miyako Mall. Anchor tenants include Books Kinokuniya and Sundance Kabuki Cinema.[2]
The Fuki-ya restaurant owned by Junko and Richard K. Diran is said to have been the first Robatayaki restaurant in the United States.[3]
The architecture of the site, created by Minoru Yamasaki,[4] has been described as "Brutalist slabwork."[5]
San Francisco's Peace Pagoda is on the Japan Center site.[4]
