Far beyond Japan — the most Asian neighborhood in the country.

On weekends, the square turns into a vibrant market of colors, flavors and Eastern crafts. Yakisoba, takoyaki, mochi, ramen, gyoza and pastel coexist at stalls that draw visitors from across the city. Live cultural activities all weekend long.
Manga and anime shops, exclusive Asian cosmetics, Japanese stationery and imported products. Eastern pop culture pulses side by side with traditional shops keeping centuries-old recipes and techniques. Mainly attracts people in their 20s and 30s on weekends.
Tells the saga of the first Japanese immigrants in Brazil. A collection of objects, photographs and documents tells of their arrival in 1908 and the building of the largest Japanese community outside Japan.
Busshinji Temple is a spiritual refuge in the middle of the city. And the food: authentic ramen, traditional sushi, Korean BBQ, Chinese dumplings on Galvão Bueno street. Every corner is a journey.
