Japanese Culture (Portland, Eugene, Salem: good schools, university, to live)

[RachealCostanzo]

I was wondering if anyone has any images or can tell me what the area is like around the address below. It's the Japanese-American Society of Oregon address and I love the Japanese culture, learning about them and I wanted to live close to an area that has something like this. So if anyone can let me know what the area is like, have any images i'd appreciate it.

Also if anyone knows any information/places where Japanese related things are such as musums, schools that teach Asian studies, resturants, classes, gardens and so on. If I find any and someone else is interested I will also post it in this thread.

Arigato everyone!

I'm hoping to find information about where possible Japanese related place might be in Eugene because that is where I am moving to, thanks!

[RachealCostanzo]

Well I actually have a question, does anyone know of any anime conventions that occur anywhere in Oregon? If you do please let me know, thanks!

Thanks so much for the anime convention one!!! I haven't been to one and would really like to. I plan on moving in two years to Cali but eventually want to go to Oregon, if I can find good schools and stuff and and can convince my fiance to move to Oregon that will be my first choice, thanks again and if anyone has more just keep them coming
