Who is Japan House London for?
Japan House London is free and open to everyone. We invite guests of any age or background, and with a wide range of interests to explore, interact with, and immerse themselves in Japan’s rich and diverse cultures.
It is a forum for creative and intellectual exchange between Japan and the rest of the world, deepening our appreciation of all that Japan has to offer, and engaging and surprising even the most knowledgeable guests.
By starting conversations around Japanese design, craft, architecture, technology, travel and food and drink, Japan House London offers something for all.
Guests from around the world can experience Japan House London via online events and the ‘Discover area’ of our website – home to virtual exhibitions, stories about Japanese cultures, recorded events, educational activities and more.
