I think it was a big restaurant at first but it is residential. Wow! Amazing, Why did they decide to desige it that way, very creative. hang on the lantern along the alley is very cool

Japan is my dream country for setlling down in the future, but I somehow want to get to know the Japanese Culture, the Japanese’s habits, or the overall atmosphere of Japanese life. This place in Saigon is just perfect. Though the Japanese are not so enthusiastic towards welcoming strange visitors, I hope to find and befriend a Japanese.
Thanks for the informative post.

Oh, It looks so cute, like a little Japan in the middle of Ho Chi Minh City. I saw many of my friends taking pictures here but I have not come here yet. For sure, this Viet-Japanese place will be discovered by me soon.

Thanks for sharing!

In reply to Leo T. Ly. It's always cool to find a Vietnamese halfway across the globe (i can tell from your blog that you're in Canada?) Anyways hope you could revisit the country as soon as possible and maybe enjoy some ramen and sushi on 15B Le Thanh Ton!

In reply to Shannon. I wish I had more time with the Japanese to really dig into the history of the place. It's just so hard to get those people to open up though, but hey, why don't you try it for yourself!

In reply to jim. I was amused to find out about this place too. It's much less noisy than a chinatown but just as attractive. Come!

In reply to Elizabeth O. I always try to gain as much insider knowledge as possible when dealing with communities. People don't open up easily but once they allow you to explore their world it is full of exciting stories. Anyways, glad to hear Saigon's on your list!
