The Washington Japanese Heritage Center ("Keisho Center"), opened in April 2004, is a place for children and families residing in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area to learn and explore their Japanese linguistic and cultural heritages.

We are located at the beautiful Norwood School just off I-495 in Bethesda, MD.
