You step off the A/E line and into a grid of narrow streets where low-rise storefronts and lanterns rub shoulders with concrete and steel. Little Tokyo feels alive in a way city centers rarely do: conversations in Japanese drift from cafés, the scent of grilled skewers pulls you down side alleys, and your phone buzzes with a text that starts the hunt.
