Thanks to the generosity of the state of Florida and many friends and partners, the Japan House has become a reality on the University of West Florida campus.

This building will have an authentic tatami room and a Japanese tea room, as well as a Japanese viewing garden. The Japan House provides:

• Educational space for Japanese language and culture

• Display space for beautiful Japanese artifacts and art

• A site for demonstrating Japanese culture and traditions

• A place to further friendships among those who appreciate and enjoy Japanese culture

• A center for the community to participate in university programs
