The Japantown Community
The community rallied around the concept plan efforts, showing strong unified support after years of advocacy to renovate the plaza. The photos below capture important events of the past, as well as those supporting to the Vision Plan process.
“The Peace Plaza Concept Plan is a community-driven plan we can all be proud of. I am pleased that the final design captures the cultural identity of San Francisco’s historic Japantown.”

“I’m a product of the Japantown community…it’s very fulfilling to me today to see this area still used by the children of our programs.”
