Japanese ProgramSan Francisco's
strategic
location on the Pacific Rim
makes it ideally suited to the study of Japanese language and culture. Students of Japanese may engage in research using the many
resources available in close proximity, including those of UC Berkeley and Stanford, the Asian
Art Museum
of San Francisco,
the Asia Foundation, the Japan Society of Northern
California, the Japanese American
Association of Northern
California, JETRO, and the
Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco. In addition, Japan
Town,
local Japanese bookstores (e.g,
Kinokuniya Bookstore), cultural
organizations, and media representatives provide a wide variety of
up-to-date materials in numerous areas and disciplines.
