Hi, I know the area near Fort Lee and I know all about Edgewater and Mitsuwa. I edited some part because they renouvated the whole place and Kinokuniya's gone. Also, many Japanese people come and buy all their goods in side this marketplace which is very convinent.Englishfun

Hi, I don't know what you're talking about, but I am the one who created the entry for Japantown in Edgewater NJ... I've been there and it was a requested page, so I wrote what I knew from when I was there. Please add or correct if anything is wrong. My only reference is what I saw when I shopped there.

How is this a Japantown?
How is this a Japantown? It is a set of retail stores, it is not a residential center or a center of Japanese culture. Clarifications, please? --ChrisRuvolo (t) 00:54, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It's called Japantown by the people who live in the surrounding area. -- NatsukiGirl \talk 19:24, 25 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I've always heard people (Japanese and English speakers) refer to it as Mitsuwa or Yaohan (back in the day). If referring to the area specificly, they would say "the area around Mitsuwa/Yaohan", or "over by Mitsuwa/Yaohan".  I've never heard it called nihonmachi or Japantown.  --ChrisRuvolo (t) 00:57, 4 July 2006 (UTC)


 * There are only 3 Japantowns in the United States, all in California. Japantowns must be officially recognized by the government (municipal/state/federal) to be called such. Falsedef 19:40, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
