Japan Society's distinctive headquarters, located near the United Nations, was designed by architect Junzo Yoshimura. Opened in 1971, it was the first contemporary Japanese building in New York. Located near the United Nations on 47th Street and First Avenue, Japan Society is set against a stunning backdrop of indoor gardens, a reflecting pool, and a waterfall. The classic elegance and simplicity of Yoshimura's original vision has been preserved even as it has been enhanced by a substantial renovation completed in 1998. The building is furnished with a superb collection of tables, chairs, and benches designed by master woodworker George Nakashima.
An oasis of Japanese design, elegance, and tranquility in midtown Manhattan, Japan Society offers fully equipped facilities ideal for conferences, receptions, film screenings, workshops, webinars, and other special events. Our unique rental spaces feature a state-of-the-art 262-seat auditorium and a spacious reception room and foyer with views of a bamboo grove and waterfall.
