Totally worth the visit. It must be one of the largest organized ktown outside of korea. If you look closer, you can get some actually decent korean food here.

We hopped off the train and walked through a residential area to get to Korea Town. After reading up on why there is a Korea Town in Japan, we did meandered the street and tried different street foods like Korean corn dogs, tteokbokki, fish cake, potato twisters). They have an authentic kimchi vendor that had a pretty big line (worth it). We tried a restaurant with Korean style fried chicken-amazing. I noticed quite a few places in Japan sell Korean food, but it is more ‘Korean inspired’ than authentic—usually being oddly sweet or not spicy enough to pass for the real deal-come to Korea town if you want authentic Korean food from the locals. Peace!

Amazing district with lots of Korean street food. Very crowded but very particular and the food was delicious. We tried the Korean pancakes in two different places, the rice balls with spicy sauce and their kimchi sandwich which was delicious.Definitely worth a visit during lunch time to eat real Korean food.

There are lot of places to shop for various Korean goods and food. Anything from Korean imported make up, kimchi, and many potato stick and Korean pancake stalls. It is quite busy so it is a little hard to get around. It would take about 2 hours to walk back and fourth a few times. I would advisee walking down and up one time before making a food decision as there are a lot of places selling the same type of product. Went for the Korean hot dogs but also bought some Korean alcohol and snacks as well.
