We’re saying Hello from Japan! Come visit Tokyo right here in San Jose and get an authentic peek into Japanese culture. Featuring a bustling modern city street inspired by Tokyo’s Harajuku district that bridges to a tranquil Shinto shrine, you’ll see the incredible contrast between modern kawaii aesthetics and traditional motifs and customs. The transition between the two shows how the Japanese culture values history, a society where the past, present, and future harmoniously coexist.

Don’t miss this limited-run special exhibition!
