Japan House London

Japan House has opened in London as a high-profile centre to promote the destination’s creativity and innovation.

The centre is set within a refurbished Art Deco-style building in London’s upmarket Kensington area and showcases the best of Japan’s art, design, gastronomy, innovation and technology.

Some of Japan’s leading artists are taking part in events and displays for Japan House London, including flower artist Azuma Makoto whose Flower Messengers took to the streets of London to celebrate the opening of Japan House last month.

The centre includes a temporary exhibition gallery, events space, library, shop and Japanese restaurant.
