International House of Japan

International House of Japan, Cultural exchange building in Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan.

The International House of Japan is a modern building in Roppongi containing conference rooms, banquet halls, and dining facilities arranged throughout its structure. Overlooking gardens in this central Tokyo district, it provides various spaces for gatherings and events.

Three prominent Japanese architects designed this building, which received a major architecture award in 1956. The design reflected a commitment to supporting international exchange through thoughtful architectural planning.

The building functions as a meeting place where Japanese and international professionals gather for conversations and events. You notice this purpose reflected in how the spaces are arranged to encourage people from different backgrounds to interact.

The building is easy to reach on foot from the nearby train station, making access straightforward. Once there, visitors can move through the spaces without difficulty and take time to see the grounds.

The grounds contain a garden officially recognized by Minato Ward as a scenic location worth preserving. This garden blends traditional Japanese landscaping principles with the building's modern design.
