Japanese Fishermen's Benevolent Society Building
The Japanese Fishermen's Benevolent Society Building is a free museum exhibit in historic Steveston that chronicles the Japanese Canadian fishing community's arrival, contributions, WWII internment, and postwar return — told through their own words, objects, and archival images. The building itself is a heritage landmark that once sat between the Japanese Hospital and Japanese Language School, both community-funded institutions. Steveston's compact, bike-friendly village makes this a natural stop on any cycling tour of Richmond's waterfront.
