What does this street sign showing Japantown represent? I understand that it is pointing to the nearby Japantown but I don't understand the symbol.

It's simply the logo of Japantown, which is the stylized flower of a Japanese plum (ume).
the logo of San Jose Japantown in present time is a plum blossom, because many of the farmers grew plums.
