JAPANESE AMERICAN REMEMBRANCE TRAIL TOUR
Get an insider’s look into the enclave of family homes, shops, and the history of Seattle’s Historic Nihonmachi
ABOUT THE TOUR
Saturdays, February - April
11:30 AM - 1 PM
Begins at Wing Luke Museum
Approximately 1 mile of walking distance
In the early 1900s, Seattle’s Japantown — Nihonmachi — stretched from 4th Avenue South to 23rd Avenue South, a bustling enclave of family homes and independently owned shops, grocery stores, and entertainment venues. In the aftermath of Pearl Harbor came Executive Order 9066 in 1942, which forced all persons of Japanese ancestry into concentration camps – Nihonmachi never fully recovered. This walking tour takes visitors through the past and present Japantown/Nihonmachi.
