My friend spent 64 on candies n drinks including a giant box of . It does take hours to visit and explore.

What a spot in heaven, right here in Brooklyn. Good food, great clothing (shout out to Live Bait!) and a pleasant overall experience. It's like going on vacation without having to deal with TSA!

In the heart of New York City, lies Japan Village. This two floor cultural oasis is dedicated to immersing visitors in the rich heritage and vibrant spirit of Japan. Whether it is mochi pounding or tea ceremonies or authentic Japanese food, there are tons of things to eat and do in Japan Village to experience Japan, without having to travel there. The first floor is mainly for food and drinks. There are 10 food stalls, 5 restaurants & bars, a grocery store, a liquor store, and a bakery & café. The food stalls offer various foods, from bento boxes to finger foods to onigiri to ramen. Seats are limited, so get here early or have a friend save a table for the group! Of course, you have to check out the Sunrise Mart. This is a Japanese supermarket that offers authentic ingredients, fresh produce, sushi-grade fish, ready-made meals, condiments, and cosmetics. The second floor consists of 6 shops: Book Off, Daiso, Bandai Namco, Taro's Origami, Japanklyn, and Kiddleton. For anime and manga lovers, you have to check out Book Off, Kiddleton, and Bandai Namco for some amazing collectibles! For those that want to explore more of Japanese culture, check out Daiso, which is a Japanese dollar store, or Japanklyn, a lifestyle store that blends Japanese streetwear and culture with a Brooklyn's touch. You will need more than one day to check everything here! Especially, since Japan Village is just a small part of Industry City. I highly recommend you plan your day in advance, especially since some stores are difficult to find. You should also check out their social media pages and their website to learn about their events! They offer tea ceremonies, interactive Japanese horror experiences, magical girls festival, idol events, and much more!

Very cute atmosphere. Lots of different food vendors. I tried out a place that made onigiri. Would definitely return to try out more!

Japan Village in Industry City feels like a little slice of Tokyo tucked into Brooklyn. The food hall has everything from fresh sushi and ramen to Japanese curry, mochi, and even a bakery with fluffy breads. The market is stocked with authentic Japanese groceries, snacks, and sake, which is perfect if you want to take the experience home. It can get crowded (especially on weekends), but that’s part of the energy. A great spot to eat, shop, and wander if you’re craving Japan without hopping on a plane.

Japan Village in Brooklyn is a wonderful destination that brings the essence of Japan right to New York City. The vibrant marketplace offers an array of authentic Japanese foods, household items, and cultural experiences that transport you to the heart of Japan.

This place is everything you expect it to be and then some. I've been to Japan a few times and I would say this is the closest to Japan you will get in NYC. Not to mention it's part of a bigger complex of other shops and restaurants converted from old warehouses and machine shops. Visit Industry City in Brooklyn, a quick ride on the N train from Manhattan and you'll be there in about 25 to 30 mins from Union Square.

I visited Japan Village in NYC for the first time during the Japan Expo, and it was such a fun experience! The atmosphere was lively, and there were plenty of free food samples to try, which gave a great taste of authentic Japanese flavors. There were also many good deals on various products, making it easy to pick up some unique items at a good price. I got to try sake as well, which was a highlight of the event. Overall, it’s a must-visit for anyone looking to explore Japanese culture, food, and drinks in the city.

Very cool experience located in Industrial City Brooklyn. Japan Village is to Japan, what Eataly is to Italy and what Little Spain is to Spain. There are a handful of kiosks that sell different types of Japanese food items, including various sushi rolls, hand rolls, okonomiyaki, fried octopus balls, there is a sake bar and noodle bar, as well as ramen. Plenty of little and long tables to sit at to enjoy your meals. In addition there is an indoor restaurant and several restaurants outside of the main area which you need to access by going outside. There is also a large Japanese supermarket on the 1st floor and a type of dollar store on the 2nd floor, accessible by stairs or an elevator. Highly recommend if you like Japanese food.

I was really looking forward to visiting Japan Village for the food and cultural experience, but what I found was a letdown. The space felt dirty and uninviting, and the sushi/sashimi was pre-package…
