Little Tokyo Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf is home to Germany’s largest Japanese community. More than 8,400 people of Japanese origin live in the city, and nowhere is their influence more prominent than in Little Tokyo. This buzzing area is about as close as you can get to Japan without actually going there! No other place in Europe offers such a concentrated expression of Japanese culture.
Excellent restaurants and traditional izakaya bars serve authentic Japanese cuisine in a manner befitting its status as part of the world’s intangible cultural heritage. Between the main train station and the city centre, along Immermannstrasse and Klosterstrasse, you’ll find a Japanese version of everything from ramen snack joints, bakeries and bars to hotels, supermarkets and bookshops.
Little Tokyo is one of Düsseldorf’s liveliest areas. A place where locals, Japanese business people, manga fans and foodies from around the world meet to enjoy noodle soup, sushi and sake, or perhaps even a traditional altbier!
But Little Tokyo is not the only place where you can experience Japanese culture in Düsseldorf. There are Japanese gardens in Nordpark and at the EKŌ-Haus in Niederkassel, for example. The latter also has an amazing Buddhist temple.
