Liberdade, Brazil

This Japantown district has a population of 66,056, but the reality is that the Japanese presence has diminished over the decades. While the neighborhood still retains its oriental flair, with Japanese restaurants and signs, the bureaucracy is a persistent headache for those looking to set up shop. Thousands of tourists flock to the public square every weekend, but the area has become increasingly diverse, now home to significant Chinese, Taiwanese, and Korean populations as well. For those interested in Japanese culture, Liberdade offers a unique experience, but it may not be the seamless transition many expect when moving abroad.
