Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California

Attraction · Japantown, California

The community centre at 1840 Sutter Street. Its own site names five tenants: Kimochi, Inc.; the Japanese Community Youth Council; Nihonmachi Legal Outreach, now Asian Pacific Islander Legal Outreach; Nobiru-kai Newcomer Services; and Japantown Arts and Media. No source states its opening hours, so none are given here.

History

The centre came out of the Redevelopment Agency's Nihonmachi Master Plan. Vision 80's, a $3 million capital campaign led by then-Mayor Dianne Feinstein and Yori Wada, began in 1982. Phase I was finished in 1986, and Phase II, the gymnasium and community hall, began construction in 1988.
