Little Tokyo, Downtown Los Angeles November 2007-part 3

The conclusion to my November 2007 sojourn into Little Tokyo in downtown Los Angeles, California.
Most of the footage is spent at Weller court, deep in the heart of Little Tokyo where you will find such Japantown mainstays as the world famous bookstore Books Kinokuniya and the dedication to Japanese-American Ellison Onizuka, one of the seven astronauts who died when the space shuttle Challenger exploded not long after launch in January of 1986.

Are there a lot of Japanese people there? Because I am from Japan and I really miss my home country, so I have been looking for a place that has somewhat of a feel of Japan.

Most of the businesses in Little Tokyo are owned by Japanese but not too many Japanese live there anymore.
