Liberdade

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

The most Eastern neighborhood of São Paulo, an unmissable destination for an immersion in Asian culture. From its history to becoming the vibrant center of the Japanese, Chinese and Korean communities in Brazil — a true gateway to Asia in the heart of São Paulo.

Liberdade fair

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.

Pop culture and tradition

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.

Japanese Immigration Museum

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.

Temples and authentic dining

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.
