Plannin Hotel Booking

Join me for a complete walking tour of San Francisco’s Japantown (Nihonmachi)! In this video, we explore the oldest of the three remaining Japantowns in the United States. From the pedestrian-friendly Osaka Way to the winding hallways of the Japan Center Malls and the Kinokuniya Building, I’ll show you where to find the best ramen, sushi, matcha, and anime collectibles. We’ll cover the must-visit food spots, including the famous Marufuku Ramen and Uji Time Dessert, and check out the current status of the Peace Plaza renovations. Whether you are looking for vintage kimonos, rare books, or just a great bowl of noodles, this guide covers it all. ✅ You might enjoy watching more of my San Francisco series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOVadUHX1B-Ld9Pj94hS8laRJW50pS9ZJ ✅ Or my tour through Little Tokyo in Los Angeles: https://youtu.be/nqBPehTR35M TABLE OF CONTENTS: 0:00 - Intro & Osaka Way (Buchanan Street) 0:33 - Ramen & Soba Row (Hinodeya, Sora, Yamadaya) 1:58 - Peace Plaza Renovation 2:45 - Hotel Kabuki & Surrounding Eats 5:06 - Japan Center East Mall (Taiko Drums & Entrance) 6:45 - Sushi Spots & "The Red Bridge" 8:35 - Uji Time Dessert & Daiso 11:07 - Japan Center West Mall 12:31 - Benihana & Restaurant Row 13:30 - Japanese Bakeries & Matcha 14:40 - Anime Figures, Cosplay & Crane Games 18:13 - Crossing the Bridge to Kinokuniya 20:14 - Kinokuniya Building & Marufuku Ramen 22:07 - Kinokuniya Books 23:15 - Ground Floor: Bonsai Trees & Gachapon 24:34 - Cafe Maiko (Premium Matcha) 💡 Yellow Productions on Social Media: FACEBOOK: https://facebook.com/YellowProductionsTravel INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/yellowwproductions/ TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@yellowproductionstravel X: https://x.com/chrisraney 💡 Meet the Yellow Productions Team: OCgirl (behind the camera): https://www.instagram.com/ocgirl.notebook/ Yusaku (in the editing studio): https://www.instagram.com/yusaku_otagiri/ The Princess (in the playground): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_KMPZF0v8pGR6ZN8QToJXg 🔔 BUSINESS INQUIRIES: chris@yellow-productions.com 😀 Yellow Productions Merchandise: https://shop.yellow-productions.com/ 📢 Check out my blog: http://yelloww.net ✅ Get up to 40% off your next hotel booking by signing up for Plannin here: https://yelloww.co/plannin 🚀 My travel video gear: Main Camera: DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo - https://amzn.to/3H5MjL3 2nd Camera: Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra - https://amzn.to/4gpyms3 Microphone: DJI Mic 3 - https://amzn.to/3JUvcQT Day Bag: Pacsafe LS250 Anti-theft Shoulder Bag - http://amzn.to/2h0YCNt 🎵 We use music from Epidemic Sound: https://yelloww.co/epidemic
