Japantown is the portion of San Jose, California bounded by First Street to the west, 7th street to the east, Jackson Street to the south and Taylor Street to the north; it is just north of Downtown. The area is home to many Japanese Americans who settled in the area after returning from relocation camps in World War II. Fewer Japanese are remaining in the area, which is becoming more of a restaurant destination than an authentic ethnic neighborhood.
SanJose has a council-manager government, with a city manager nominated by the mayor and elected by the city council.
SanJose was to have been the home of the Demons of the XFL, but the team moved to San Francisco prior to the start of the season.
SanJose is served by the medium-sized Mineta SanJose International Airport, two miles northwest of downtown, as well as San Francisco International Airport, a major international hub 35 miles northwest.
