Recent Best Western Tomo Review: "This hotel had a great location right across the street from Japantown. My girlfriend and I were able to walk around and enjoy what Japantown had to offer and did not have to worry about dragging out feets back home after a long day. However, if you want to check out Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf, you would have to either drive there yourself or take a bus from a bus stop five blocks away. Personally, if you want to avoid having to lose your parking spot in the garage, take the bus. Thats what we did. THe walk wasn't that bad. The parking fee at the hotel's garage is $20/day, which I found kind of ridiculous. Other than that, the stay at Best Western Hotel was great for my girlfriend and I. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and roomy."

A short guide to Cultural District - Japantown

Nearby, City Hall’s golden dome sparkles amid the Civic Center’s concrete gray. The live arts thrive at the San Francisco War Memorial & Performing Arts Center, one of the nation’s largest. A five-tiered Peace Pagoda marks Japantown. Castro District, the city’s main gay neighborhood, is a short ride away, as is Haight-Ashbury, the counterculture bastion that is a gateway to Golden Gate Park.
