A kominkan (公民館, kōminkan), or citizens' public hall, is a kind of Japanese cultural center.[1] Kominkan provide structured learning programs in arts, sport, handiwork and cultural activities, to children, youth and aged people.[2] They are generally funded and administered by local governments.
Along with libraries, archives and museums, they were targets of protection by the SaveMLAK project after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[3]
