We’re proud to share some exciting news!

Japanese Culture Experience Day 2026 has officially been recognised as a 50th Anniversary Commemorative Event celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Australia–Japan Basic Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation.

Signed in 1976, this treaty has served as the foundation of the strong friendship and cooperation between Japan and Australia, connecting our two countries through people-to-people exchange, culture, trade, and many other areas.

It is a true honour that our event has been recognised as part of this important milestone. We are incredibly proud to contribute to the celebration of the friendship between our two countries.
We believe culture has the power to connect people and hearts.

Now and into the future, we will continue doing our best to build bridges between Australia and Japan by creating meaningful cultural experiences for our community.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who continues to support our journey.
