Pasadena Japanese Cultural Institute
Preserving and Promoting Japanese Culture and Community
Founded in 1962, the Pasadena Japanese Cultural Institute (PJCI) helps preserve and promote Japanese cultural activities and organizations in the greater Pasadena area. The PJCI is home to the Japanese language school Mirai Nihongo Gakuin, as well as a variety of martial arts and cultural groups. Through our programs and events, we hope to remember the rich history of Japanese-Americans in the community and to continue evolving that legacy moving forward.
Due to the evolving situation and mandates surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic, many activities at the PJCI are still on hold or operating at limited capacity. Please contact specific groups for their latest scheduling updates before making any plans.
