    May be it's just me but I don't know. I've lived in the toronto + toronto surrounding area all of my life and I've been in some pretty diverse area. Here's a list of a few

    Downtown Korean Town - between bathurst and christie station
    Uptown Korean Town - yonge street between sheppard and steeles
    greek town - by the donlands area
    little india - by gerrard from coxwell to about greenwood
    China town - broadview and spadina and everywhere in markham
    Uptown little italy - main street around the highway 7 area.

    I visit these places quite frequently, but I've never been to an area that's been very japanese dominated and I think it's about time I do. So where are all the japanese communities here?
     
  2. no idea.... there might not be that many Japanese people in Toronto as there are Chinese people
     
  3. it seems like japanese people don't need to leave the country with their economy Though i wish i did i've never met, been paired up in school or talked to a japanese person.

    seems like they make up 0.4% 19,010 total.

    im sure they are around but a very small minority of the minorities.

    Alot of sushi resturants are run by chinese =P

    wait i take that back there was this one time this cute japanese girl served me sushi and gave me extra on the house =P

    heh i was actually looking for some authentic jap places in toronto. Turns out theres a place not too far from the pacific mall . I think it was a bit north of victoria park and steeles, haven't been yet but i think it's more like a mall type thing.

    They have a website umh here it is:

    So those areas vancouver toronto are they filled with mostly chinese or viets?
     
  9. always thought japanese and korean shared the same town (west end) -lol come to think of it....there isn't a Japanese Town in Toronto.

    Ang proves a point too why leave your country when its booming?.
