America-mura

America-mura is a compact, lively neighbourhood of graffitied buildings, street-food stalls, independent galleries and a youth hangout at Sankaku-koen park. Vintage shops sell clothing, books and records, and lively rock bars and clubs open in the evenings. The name literally means “American village”: in the 1970s warehouses in the area were converted into shops selling American and Western goods. America-mura isn’t very large, so you can see most of it in a few hours.
