The Liszt Hungarian Cultural Institute Tokyo is a cultural center in Minato Ward that presents Hungarian art and culture to a Japanese audience. The building contains exhibition galleries, a performance venue for concerts and lectures, and learning spaces for workshops and classes.
The institute opened in December 2019 and marked an important milestone in cultural relations between Hungary and Japan. The opening was a deliberate step to deepen mutual exchange between the two nations.
The space presents Hungarian traditions through exhibitions and events that introduce Japanese visitors to local artists and traditional crafts. The rooms host regular cultural exchanges between Hungarian and Japanese communities.
The center is located in Azabu-Jūban and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors should check in advance to see what exhibitions or events are currently on offer.
