SF is probably the city with the strongest Japanese influence in the continental US though. Idk if your observations would hold in Houston, Chicago, or Miami.

Hawaii or Seattle arguably have a larger Japanese influence.

Seattle as of late has priced so many places out to the point where I have Japanese friends here who disagree on this point. I was surprised to hear it but the more I look around the more I can kind of see it.

Regionally yes, there’s influence and history - but Seattle doesn’t do enough to protect subcultures.

> I can think of a few reasons why that is, due to SF's history and culture.

Yeah, you'll find it in Hawaii or New York as well
