I live near Anchorage, Alaska and we have a really large Asian population... Including a great deal of Japanese tourists, as well as residents.


We have Japanese markets and the Japanese culture is really popular around here-- and since the college is so closely tied with it's Japanese program, there are occasional taiko drum shows and other sorts of demonstrations... You don't have to go far to see some Hiragana sign leading you to something interestingly Japanese.
