Hosted By: My Jewish Learning
Join My Jewish Learning to experience the vibrant continuity of Jewish life in Japan and the unique intersection of Jewish tradition and Japanese culture.
This Jewish Virtual Tour of Tokyo offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich and enduring
story of Jewish life in Japan.
Jewish presence in Japan dates back to the 1860s, with Tokyo’s synagogue established after earlier communities in Yokohama, Nagasaki, and Kobe. The Jewish Community of Japan’s current home, opened in 2009, was masterfully designed by acclaimed architect Fumihiko Maki, embodying timeless modernism and built to serve generations.
