Düsseldorf is an important Japanese business centre in Europe.

Most Japanese people living in Düsseldorf have been sent by their employers and are in the city for a few years with their family members. For over 50 years, they have characterised the cityscape and enriched the economic and cultural life of the city.

Our two-hour tour of Little Tokyo is just the thing for you! You now have the opportunity to discover this neighbourhood and take a short journey into the world of Japanese cultural heritage! We start with a short introduction to the relationship between Japan and Düsseldorf.

During our walk, we will stroll past real Japanese restaurants, supermarkets, bookshops, tea shops and home decoration shops. You will definitely learn something about the art of cooking and discover the secret of the art of Ikebana. You will also find out how the famous Daruma can bring good luck. Of course, the popular pop culture and its manga will not be missing.
