Celebrating AAPI Heritage Month Through Travel
Happy Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Now, in my 40s, I’m getting more into immersing myself in my Japanese Heritage, but I’ve also been learning more about other Asian cultures and have found a handful of favorite AAPI-owned businesses near my home that I frequent often. When we travel, I am always looking for women-, BIPOC-, and AAPI-owned restaurants and stores.
There isn’t much to the Peace Plaza, but it’s 100% there for the Peace Pagoda, which was given to the people of San Francisco by the people of Osaka, Japan (San Fracisco’s sister city) in 1968 to signify the goodwill between the two.
I’ll be visiting two other Japantowns this year. The first, Little Tokyo, in Los Angeles, and the second in Vancouver, BC. I’ll also be visiting Chinatown in both of those places as well, and the largest Asian night market outside of Asia in Richmond, BC.
If you want to immerse yourself in Asian history, you can visit museums, America’s Chinatowns, and some of the best restaurants across the country. Follow me on Instagram to see my travels as they happen, with photos that I don’t post on the blog (because I don’t have enough room). In the meantime, I’ll be delving into all the delicious foods and gifts of Japan at Uwajimaya (an Asian grocery store in the Pacific Northwest) around the corner from our house.
Tell me about your favorite AAPI-owned businesses or Asian areas of cities from your travels or your hometown…
