When I lived in Tokyo nearly 30 years ago, there was a housing development near Mejiro Station called Tokugawa House, which looked like an American suburban cul-de-sac, complete with little blond children running around outside.

I visited only once, when one of the residents held a gathering for those of us who were graduates of the same language program, so I don't know if the housing development still exists. But if it does, it would be the closest thing to a real America Town I've ever seen. It had no businesses, though, just residences.
