Japan Society

About the Space

An oasis of Japanese design, elegance and tranquility in midtown Manhattan, our building offers fully equipped facilities ideal for conferences, receptions, film shoots, workshops, and other special events. Our unique rental spaces feature a 260-seat auditorium, a spacious reception room and foyer with views of a sculpture garden and waterfall, and an intimate meeting room and atrium situated on the second floor. Availability varies depending on the space. There is a cost of $90 per hour to open the building beyond normal business hours (8:30 am - 5:30 pm, M-F) in addition to rental fees. Hiring our in-house AV technician(s) is required for use of the Auditorium, at a rate of $50 per hour per tech. Unfortunately we cannot rent to private individuals, only to organizations (corporate, non-profit, government, etc.).
