The Japan Foundation Kyoto Office Japanese Film Screenings with English Subtitles

The Japan Foundation Kyoto Office organizes Japanese film screenings in cooperation with Kyoto City International Foundation.

As part of a review of the Japan Foundation's operational structure, the Kyoto Office will conclude its activities at the end of March 2027. Accordingly, this screening will be the final one in the series. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported us over the years. As we look back on the many encounters and cultural exchanges made possible through film, we hope you will enjoy this final screening at the Kyoto International Community House.
