Attended the Matcha and Mindfulness class with instructor Bonnie and had the best experience! Her class was intimate, engaging, and was more than we could have expected. We learned about the rich history of tea and she even provided treats to pair with the drinks. I would highly recommend if you are curious about the history of matcha and learn how to make it on your own. The space was beautiful and we look forward to engaging in the work at the Japanese cultural and community center again soon!

I visited this Japanese cultural & community center today, I had a great time over there, and The office lady provided very nice and helpful service to me. Even though it is not a big school, there is a library, museum, historical stuff, free books, kitchen, and some Japanese traditional displays. It took me 15 to 20 minutes to finish the visit.I was wondering if I could take in-person Japanese classes, but they just provide online classes. The good thing is it has a good price for a quarter of online learning. I hope they can provide some in-person Japanese classes for speaking practice.They are also have some events, if you guys are interested in it, you can check from their website.They are membership is about 35 bucks, and then can enjoy their discount for classes and books, also can enjoy their library and something else.Overall, it is a good place to visit!

I visited their museum a few days ago and was highly impressed with their organization. They provided an excellent tour guide who gave me rich details on the history of Japanese Americans and Japanese immigrants in the US and Seattle. The artwork was beautiful, the historical artifacts looked well preserved and the friendly and informative tour guide definitely increased my learning and enjoyment. The organization also has offered Japanese language courses for more than 100 years and has been an active community center in the Seattle area for decades. I would highly recommend this organization to anyone seeking to learn more about Japanese American history and culture.

The JCCCW is a happening place. Want to learn the Japanese language? Want to join a karate class? How about taiko drumming? These groups and multiple other community organizations use the JCCCW's campus, so it's a great place to try new activities, meet people, and do some shopping.Which is what I often do--shopping at the Hoseikibako, a store inside the JCCCW. A cuter used-goods boutique shop in Seattle is hard to find. The items are Japanese and are donated from the community and are a GREAT bargain. Decor, crafts, handkerchiefs, art, books; there's a lot to see and buy! And the proceeds support the JCCCW's building upkeep, community outreach, and programs. Win-win!Update: for people who need mobility assistance, the JCCCW remodelled two or three years ago, including a new elevator. There is an interior breezeway between the two buildings, which is a gently sloping ramp.

Hosekibako reminds me of when I grew up in Japan. Piece of my past life, which is a treasure. Nice volunteers are so helpful.

A great chance to peek into the historic experiences of the Seattle area Japanese community, their struggles, and successes, and indomitable spirit.

My review is of the language classes they offer here. I took three classes a few years ago, using a different instructor each time. They were all native speakers and taught the language well enough that I still retain a lot of it a few years later. If you're looking to learn Japanese, this is the place to go.
