Mission
To preserve Japanese American history and promote the Japanese culture in Hawaii for future generations.
About
Programs (including cultural festivals, statewide public programs, exhibitions and educational workshops) are sponsored throughout the year to promote awareness in the Japanese cultural heritage in Hawaii and the traditional Japanese cultural arts. JCCH's largest cultural festival is held at the beginning of each year. The New Year's Ohana Festival attracts over 27,200 visitors to the center and brings together the community to showcase Japanese dance, music, martial arts, cultural arts and food. The educational outreach programs to schools teach students the history of Japanese in Hawaii from immigration to current day. The JCCH with cooperation from the National Park Service takes visitors on tour to the Honouliuli National Historic Site, Hawaii's largest and longest operating World War II detention camp. Visitors walk the site and learn the personal stories of Japanese American prisoners and their families.
