Japantown Community Benefit District
Japantown is a unique community in the heart of San Francisco. Although recently established in 2017, this neighborhood is rich in San Francisco history. As one of only three remaining Japantown's left in the United States, it serves as a regional tourism hub and as a central gathering location for many Japanese- Americans. The Japantown CBD will focus on providing environmental and economic enhancements to the district; including graffiti removal, pressure washing, marketing, and beautification improvements.
