Founded in 2011, JapanCulture•NYC is an English-language website dedicated to All Things Japanese in New York City. Our new membership program will allow us to increase the amount of quality content we provide as well as to continue to support New York-based Japanese and Japanese American businesses, nonprofit organizations, artisans, and artists. Pivoting to a membership and sponsorship model is the best way to grow JapanCulture•NYC’s reach throughout the community.
Non-members will still be able to read all the content on the website, but members will have special access to interviews with community leaders, business people, and creatives who help New York’s Japanese and Japanese American communities thrive!

What People Are Saying
“JapanCulture•NYC is my #1 resource for information on events and fun ways to stay connected with the Japanese American community in NYC”
— Monica Yuki
Board Chair, JETAANY (JET Alumni Association of New York)
“Going to university in NYC with your family back in Japan makes you miss home more than ever. Whenever I crave anything Japan, I go to JapanCulture•NYC because it features such a wide spectrum of events from Kyogen to pop up shows in Brooklyn. I’ve never found any Instagram or TikTok accounts that made me feel as connected to back home than JapanCulture•NYC, so it’s my go-to!”
— Haruka Kokaze (小風 華香)
Student, NYU
“The day you decide to do it is your lucky day.”
