The Japan Foundation, Sydney

Great place for understanding Japanese culture and language. You can easily be a member and borrow books.

An incredible facility for promotion of Japanese culture. A well stocked library, language classes, various art exhibitions, language & culture one-off events.

There is a warm and friendly atmosphere, traditional Japanese welcoming. The library is very delightful and there are lots of great collections. All the staff are very knowledgeable.

The Japan Foundation site in Sydney is an overal positive experience, they provide a wide selection of Japanese media and books such as music CD's, classical literature, Japanese learning material as well as manga.

On top of this, the place is clean, quiet, has a nice view on top of this the staff know what their doing and are knowledgeable and helpful.

Great place, kind of an obscure place to access (it can only be accessed via the elevator.

They are worth a drop in whenever you're in the area to check the latest exhibition (always free), and a quiet library area to study or read a book with a nice view of the park

This place is best described as pleasant. Find it on the top of the shopping centre opposite the UTS. Friendly staff and well appointed library. Japan offers such a tremendous variety of attraction and I reckon a Tori'i gate or a megalithic Buddha statue might improve an otherwise sterile atmosphere. See what the Korean Cultural centre on Elizabeth Street has done with their exhibition space. Please consider.

Terrific library, great exhibitions and fantastic interactive workshops. Staff are very helpful too.

Great library. We went to see the woodcarving exhibit which was a nicely curated interesting small exhibit. Free entry too.

Had a Japanese proof-reading program several months ago here. Wonderful place for Japanese learners no matter which level you’re in! The books are well-organized with stickers indicating reading levels. And the types differs very well: folks, 絵本, story, traditional art, traveling. Also the staff were very helpful and kind. Good to practice Japanese! Will come back again after lock down.

The Japan Foundation presents an ongoing series of exhibitions throughout the year. These deal with a wide variety of aspects of Japanese culture and are all of high calibre. The exhibition space, though small, is well lit, and supporting documentation is generally excellent.

I love this place. If you like Japanese culture this is the place for you. Amazing resources and great space for whatever you want to do

Nice to have a space like this to read my manga, chill out and indulge in exhibitions that open.

Went to an interesting exhibition on horror manga, about which I knew nothing before I went in, and considerably more when I left. A compact but well designed space, the artworks were arranged and curated well. The accompanying info was very helpful. I was the only one there, so enjoyed reading some of the manga available as well (in both Japanese and English).

Its a Japanese Library with lots of Information & knowledge of Japanese Cultural topics & Greta location closes to the University of Technology (UTS), Transports, Chinatown, Broadway, Chinatown, shopping, Restaurants & CBD

Took the lovely Leyla here on our first date and it was closed.
The kind gentelmen opened up the art gallery just for us go in and let's just say I got some really great brownie points!

Best place to see Japanese art in all of Sydney:)

A lot of resources for Japanese learning courses, regular activities and exhibitions. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Space is nice and clean. The floors and elevator in Central Park is confusing, but once you get into the elevator it indicates you which floor is for JF.

Great place where you can rent Japanese books and study for free and they also organize plenty of activities related to Japan

I thoroughly enjoy my lessons at JPF, and highly recommend them to others who are wanting to learn Japanese.

Great quiet place to read manga and some random Japanese books. It has great view of Central Park and also occassionally host some cool exhibits.
