The city of Burnaby is mostly known for being a neighbour city to Vancouver. While its proximity to Vancouver often leaves the city unnoticed, it has a lot to offer, including its rich Japanese culture in Canada. There are many activities to do in Burnaby and many places to see as the city is home to Metropolis at Metrotown, the largest mall in BC, Metrotown Skytrain station, restaurants, and so on. However, its cultural significance and history are often overlooked even though the city has quite a lot to offer. One of the most unique attractions in the city is the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre. The museum preserves and shares the history of Japanese Canadians and Japanese Culture in Canada. It offers various exhibits, events and facilities. The Karasawa Gallery is an important part of the experience, showcasing Japanese art and history.Some of the other notable places include the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts which is a multi-purpose community arts facility in beautiful Deer Lake Park.
