Japan Residecenter Greater Cincinnati

The Japan Research Center of Greater Cincinnati is dedicated to enhancing cultural understanding between Japan and the United States by sharing the life stories of individuals who have fostered these relations. Under the leadership of President Kiyoshi Peter Tanaka, the Center continues its mission and various projects, honoring the legacy of its founder, Dr. Kinji Tanaka.

With a focus on programs that offer tours, support services, and higher education advising, the Center actively engages the community through initiatives such as the Lafcadio Hearn Commemorative Plaque project. This initiative aims to create a permanent memorial in Cincinnati to celebrate Hearn's contributions to journalism and literature while promoting diversity and cultural appreciation.
