Geoeconomics
We will carry out research that will help to raise the level of expertise and practical skills in the field of geoeconomics, which unites the global economy and geopolitical strategy, and to contribute to community-building within the field.
Innovation
We seek to contribute to innovation essential in solving the world’s problems and in creating a free, open and sustainable future.
Philosophy
We invite international thinkers and philosophers who will illuminate the future of an uncertain world and actively introduce their ideas and initiatives.
Art & Design
We pursue the possibilities of value creation through art, design, architecture and gardens.
Experts
In order to make a broader contribution to society in response to changes in international affairs, approximately 25 experts in the fields of international relations, geopolitics, area studies, social systems, governance, and innovation, who conduct research and make recommendations, engage in intellectual dialogue with Japanese and overseas experts and promote human resource development, are registered as researchers at I-House.
Facilities
The historic cultural asset building overlooking the garden designated by Minato Ward as a place of scenic beauty provides a comfortable stay with conference rooms, banquet halls, bridal halls, dining rooms, library, and lodging rooms for interaction with people, encounters with food, and creation of knowledge.
Archi-
tecture
In 1955 the I-House building was constructed under the collaboration of three prominent Japanese architects – Maekawa Kunio, Sakakura Junzō, and Yoshimura Junzō and was awarded the Architectural Institute of Japan Prize the following year. In August 2006, it was registered as a tangible cultural property by the Agency for Cultural Affairs of Japan.
