Welcome to Japanese City

Japanese-City.com is the most comprehensive hub for Japanese cultural events and traditions in the United States. Since our founding, we’ve built the largest centralized event calendar dedicated to Japanese festivals, Obon practices, food fairs, martial arts exhibitions, and more.

We proudly support temples, taiko groups, dance clubs, local nonprofits, and cultural centers by making their events accessible to everyone—from lifelong practitioners to first-time visitors.

We do this because we believe in the power of culture to bring people together, preserve identity, and strengthen community.

Whether you’re looking for a place to dance, a historic site to explore, or a summer matsuri to attend with your family, we’re here to guide you.

Our Mission

Japanese-City.com exists to connect people with the beauty, depth, and living traditions of Japanese culture in the United States.

Every day, we work to preserve and promote Japanese traditions by helping communities stay visible, supported, and celebrated.
