Known for its calm atmosphere, cozy izakayas, and unique blend of Japanese and Vietnamese culture, this district offers a surprising escape from the usual city hustle. The Japanese Area is compact, walkable, and has a friendly vibe that suits backpackers seeking relaxation with a side of cultural immersion.

Exploring the Japanese Area

The Japanese Area is lined with hidden alleyways, each offering a charm of its own. Alley 15B Le Thanh Ton is especially known for its izakayas (Japanese-style pubs), ramen shops, and sushi bars. Travelers can explore these alleyways to find tucked-away spots that feel like a mini Tokyo. Many restaurants serve traditional Japanese food alongside Vietnamese favorites, making it a culinary haven for visitors.

Cultural Highlights in Japanese Area

This district has its roots in Japanese expatriates who introduced authentic eateries, tea houses, and spas, which remain today as cultural staples.

Cultural Tips for Backpackers

The Japanese Area has a quieter, more refined vibe compared to other parts of Ho Chi Minh City, and locals appreciate respectful behavior. When visiting izakayas or tea houses, keep voices low and be mindful of the peaceful environment.
