EXPLORE

Music
Japanese instruments, including the 13-stringed koto, guitar-like shamisen, and taiko drums, are used to create both very traditional and distinctly modern sounds.
Japanese Games
At 4,000 years of age, Go is the oldest board game in the world. Like chess, its rules are simple, but its strategy can take decades to master.

2026 FESTIVAL - Save the Date!

The 51st Annual Seattle Cherry Blossom & Japanese Cultural Festival will be held Friday April 10, 2026 - Sunday April 12, 2026 at the Seattle Center.
Hope to see you there!
