Gardena Valley Japanese Cultural Institute

Checked out their JCI Gardena Matsuri Fundraiser last month since my friends wanted to go and it was a very popular event. Had to drive around quite a bit in search of parking in the neighborhood since we got there around lunchtime. Lots of entertainment, games, food and even a beer garden. Enjoyed my time being one of the "locals" there. Well done. 5 stars 🤙🤙

Went there to put my Mom's lunch order in for next week. Very, very friendly nice lady. Showed me more or less of what the lunch would look like, and answered all of my questions. Great!!!

Very nice folks. Signed up the daily lunch program for my Mom. See how it goes. Mom may or may not like it. We'll see. Have to order 1 week in advance.

We moved to Gardena 20 years ago from what seems, now, like another planet. Thousands of miles from home and family, the JCI became community for our kids. They played Sansei softball and baseball, dressed up for summet matsuri, volunteered at the carnival each year, and still play judo with Gardena Judo Club. We can say that the stones of every event, sport, and interaction at the JCI has helped build a small town childhood for both of them. On this little island of the JCI, "Ojiichan, obachan, nisan, and onesan" surround them in the midst of their epic Los Angeles life. We are soooo grateful, and forever in debt to Gardena JCI. Mahalo. ありがとうございました.

We went for the Obon Festival and all the great food. Event was very organized and well planned.

Excellent community center where you can find a great library, free wifi, things like taiko classes and fun programs!

the People are so kind and help a lot with your need very nice people and hope they have great future success?
