Nihon Go Gakko, Language school building in International District, Seattle, United States.

The Nihon Go Gakko is a historic school building at Weller and 16th Street on the edge of Seattle's International District, now part of the Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Washington. The original structure dates from its 1913 move to the site, and a 1918 extension was paid for by donations from Seattle's Japanese community. Its classrooms serve as Japanese language classrooms for children and adults.

Founded in 1902 on the second floor of the Furuya Company building in Pioneer Square, the school moved to Weller and 16th Street in 1913; an extension funded by Seattle's Japanese community opened in 1918. By 1930 it had 24 teachers and over 1,000 students. During World War II the U.S. military used it as an Army Air Force training facility, and afterwards it housed more than 130 returning Japanese Americans, many from the Minidoka camp, who called it the "Hunt Hotel".

The school functions as a gathering place for the Japanese-American community to maintain language skills and cultural connections. Visitors can observe how the space supports ongoing efforts to preserve Japanese traditions in the Pacific Northwest.

The building is located in the International District and is easily accessible by foot from public transportation. Visitors should note that the rooms are primarily used for classes and events, so checking availability ahead of time is helpful before visiting.

The building was revived after the war even though many Japanese institutions in the region never returned. This resilience makes it a rare survivor from that historical period in the Pacific Northwest.
