Japan House London

“That was a very unexpected place to visit since we didn't plan to go there originally. However, it turned out to be one of the most interesting places during our short trip in London. Ground floor is a exhibition/shop - everything on display can be bought. It's full of retail treasures. Pricy, but well-worthy. Underground floor is an exhibition space. Currently on display is 100+ craftmakers, a true showboat of Japanese craftsmanship through the last few decades focused on a daily-use items. Top floor is a restaurant, unfortunately unavailable by the time of the visit. If you plan to travel to Japan or are just curious, there's plenty of free guides and flyers at the information corner. Make sure to find some time during your trip and visit this wonderful place. You won't be disappointed! And the best thing - this place is free of charge!”

“Amazing Japanese cultural centre.shop, exhibitions and restaurant. Located at the top of Kensington high Street. You walk into the ground floor, the shop, selling Japanese goods. Bit pricey but definitely high quality. Travel section at the rear with brochures of different locations in Japan. Downstairs in the basement is the exhibition area, we went when they had the pictogram exhibition, it was really cool,fun, interactive and informative, really interesting, and still on at this moment in time. Upstairs is the restaurant, sadly it was closed when we went but the menu does look very enticing. Definitely worth a visit if your interested in anything to do with Japan.”

“I'm really interesting slice of Japan and the culture in Central London. Typically creative workmanship and artiginal articles grow gloves watering cans to soaps children's books travel and drinks. Japanese Cookies and matcha to be had at this location. Regular change of exhibitions showcasing Japan's exhalent craftsmanship and culture. There is even a restaurant!”

“Japan house does the best matcha outside of Japan! I have tried multiple places in the UK and outside the UK, though nothing beats Japan House their match is rich with flavour. The staff is really lovely and friendly, taking pride in what they do and making sure your match is done correctly and tasteful. Thank you lovely Japan house staff for the best matcha 🍵😇”
