Japan Society

Who we are

The Japan Society is the leading independent body in the United Kingdom dedicated to the enhancement of the British-Japanese relationship. The Japan Society has a membership of some 1,000 members, both individual and corporate, of whom 45% are Japanese. It is a friendly and engaged community of long-standing and newer members with a wide-range of Japan related backgrounds and experience. Its varied programme provides opportunities for members and others interested in Japan to meet and exchange ideas and experience. It also works with schools throughout the UK and runs a small grants scheme to support local projects to deepen an understanding of Japan.
