About JICA Global Plaza

Created to serve as a hub for citizen participation in international cooperation, the JICA Global Plaza is located in Hiroo, Tokyo. People who visit JICA Global Plaza can experience the three-dimensional exhibits in the Virtual Global Experience Area, listen to tours conducted by our experienced Global Concierges and taste the meals that are being eaten around the world at Café Frontier. We also rent out the conference rooms, auditorium, and exhibition halls in the International Exchange Area as venues where adults or students with an interest in international cooperation can conduct seminars and symposiums, and reciprocal exchange activities.

With the spirit of the words bringing international cooperation into Japanese culture, JICA also endeavours to provide guidance and assistance to Japanese citizens’ participation in international cooperation efforts and their desire to support overseas development aid through their exchange activities. More than 100,000 people visit and use the JICA Global Plaza every year. Among them are individual visits, over 500 schools and other groups who visit to learn about developing countries or get tips about how to initiate the first step into international cooperation.
