About the centre

Introduction

Hyogo Prefectural Government Cultural Centre was established in 1992 by the Hyogo Prefectural Government to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Sister State relationship between Western Australia and Hyogo Prefecture.

Our aims are to promote understanding and exchange between Western Australia and Hyogo in education, culture and business.

Major activities include workshops, demonstrations and seminars on language, life and culture, exhibitions of Japanese arts and crafts, and the promotion of educational, sporting, youth and cultural exchange.

Hyogo Cultural Centre has a well stocked library of books, periodicals and videos for people of all ages.
