About the Yamanashi International Centre

The Yamanashi International Centre was established in 1990, with the aim of being the core facility for the promotion of prefectural international exchange and cooperation. The Centre is run by the Yamanashi International Association.

The Centre has 4 stories. The first floor houses the Prefectural Passport Center and a conference room. The second floor has 4 smaller meeting rooms and one drawing room. The third and fourth floors are residential rooms.

Ever year, the Yamanashi International Association holds various international exchange activities and cross-cultural events at the Centre. All residents are expected to actively participate in these events.
