Konnichiwa Philadelphia!
When we think of Philadelphia, we don't usually think of Japan playing a huge influence on the city. But did you know that Fairmount Park's Japanese House and Garden used to be the site of a 14th century Japanese Temple Gate? Or that Ben Franklin has Japanese descendents?
Welcome to Konnichiwa Philadelphia, a feature dedicated to highlighting the unique relationship between Philadelphia and Japan. Here you can learn about the history that our city shares with Japan. Check back every week for a new article, and rediscover Philadelphia from a Japanese perspective
From networking events to the annual Subaru Cherry Blossom Festival, from the Philadelphia-Japan Health Sciences Dialogue to our bi-monthly Japanese Conversation Club, the JASGP offers nearly 70 events throughout the year for people to get involved in the Japanese and American communities here in Philadelphia. Our members share a dedication to fostering understanding, cooperation, and exchange between the US and Japan. Please join us for one of our upcoming events!
