Hyogo Cultural Centre invites WA student groups to visit
us to learn more about Japan, particularly the special relationship
between Western Australia and Hyogo Prefecture.
There is a Japanese traditional room set up with tatami mats
and shoji screens in our Centre and you can also see many
other display items. Some realia that may catch your eye includes
beautiful Japanese wedding kimono, calligraphy, kites, dolls,
kendo equipment, a tea ceremony setting and much, much more.
Depending on the time of year, special seasonal and festival
displays, such as the Dolls Festival and Children's Day Festival,
can be admired while the students learn about Japanese life
and culture. Hyogo Cultural Centre also has the largest resource
library of Japan related materials in Perth, so maybe you
could organise a research day out. Or your students can watch
a Japanese video or DVD on a large screen!
Although bookings are essential, student groups are welcome
to visit the Centre for a general viewing for FREE. We would
also be more than happy to organise an enjoyable and educational
Japan related activity for a small fee per student.
Should you wish to discuss your school excursion, please feel
