JICA Yokohama contains unique exhibitions and experiential artworks with the theme of “learning while having fun” and “viewing while relaxing” about international cooperation, SDGs and Nikkei communities. It also houses the Japanese Overseas Migration Museum, which was opened in Yokohama City because many Japanese people departed for overseas destinations from Yokohama Port.

In addition, there is a library and book lounge “Book Port” with a rich collection of books and picture books in various languages and “Port Terrace Cafe” where you can enjoy various dishes from around the world and overlook Yokohama Port.
