"Americatown" in foreign cities?

Osaka, Japan has America-mura, but it’s not where ex pats live, it’s a fashion and night life area with American themed bars, restaurants and clothing stores. Even includes a Statue of Liberty on top of one of the buildings. You do see quite a lot of foreigners there but it’s also very popular with japanese youth.

I suspect that these days, a lot of Chinatowns and Little Italys in America are a like Amemura, cartoonish zoos with no real connection to the nation in question.
