Liberdade District

Interesting area with some good Japanese influence and characteristic! Surprised to find the meaningful Japanese names マクドナルドof McDonald at the storefront in the area! The area also has a location of Sukiya すき家. The district itself is rather fun and relatively safe! Love the 鳥居⛩️ symbol on the pedestrian traffic light also. Lots of Asian supermarkets and relevant Asian foods! The Brazilian and Japanese fusion is an interesting experience!!

Great Japanese neighborhood featuring a lot of Asian food and goodies - that’s wildly similar to how it is in Asia, but also with a local twist. I recommend trying some of the street food stalls especially fried sushi which is definitely a Brazilian Japanese delicacy- freshly made to order.

Interesting District, market with many touristic things. Not very dangerous because have police everywhere. But be careful of your belongings.

Liberdade is a must-visit if you're in São Paulo! As the heart of the Japanese and East Asian community in Brazil, it offers a vibrant mix of culture, history, and amazing food. The streets are lined with red torii-style lamp posts, giving the area a unique charm. The highlight is definitely the Liberdade Street Market (Feira da Liberdade) on weekends, where you can find delicious street food like takoyaki, pastel, and taiyaki, along with handcrafted goods. The Japan House and Museum of Japanese Immigration are also worth a visit if you're interested in history and culture. For food lovers, there’s an endless selection of authentic Japanese, Chinese, and Korean restaurants. Whether you're craving fresh sushi, ramen, or a steaming bowl of bibimbap, you won’t be disappointed! The area can get quite crowded, especially on weekends, and parking is limited, so using public transportation is recommended. Overall, Liberdade is a beautiful fusion of cultures that makes São Paulo even more special. Highly recommend visiting!

It’s very crowded but the place is so GOOD! I will always go there everytime I visit Sao Paulo. The place is live and you can try a lot of good foods and beverages there.

This place is so crazy full of people on the weekend. The crowds are intense but it’s a cool atmosphere and a fun little trip. The neighborhood is super cool and would totally come back to hang out and have lots of great Asian eats here.

Amazing time! If your looking for a specific japanese snack at store, this is the area. Also the vendors have amazing trinkets some a little pricey but beautiful. The food is authentic at the outside street area, the Ramen noodle place is horrible.

São Paulo's Liberdade neighbourhood is home to the largest Japanese community outside Japan - And there's a Food Fest held every weekend. This colourful "Street Food" extravaganza is an informal tour of kiosks. Buy a bit here, bit there and sit in-front of a restaurant and order drinks (sake, capirinha, beer). It's all cool. And the variety of food will amaze: fresh fish, oysters, shrimp, octopus, etc. Fresh, succulent, savory and inexpensive, it's a weekend event not to be missed ... but only if you like to eat. 😇
