Strengthening ties between the U.S. & Japan by building a community of leaders across cultures, sectors and generations

About us

The U.S.-Japan Council is a 501(c) 3 non-profit educational organization that contributes to strengthening U.S.-Japan relations by bringing together diverse leadership, engaging stakeholders and exploring issues that benefit communities, businesses and government entities on both sides of the Pacific. The Council promotes people-to-people relations as crucial to a strong U.S.-Japan relationship. Recognizing the catalytic role that Japanese Americans play in strengthening U.S.-Japan relations, the Council cultivates an international network of Japanese American leaders known as Council Members. The U.S.-Japan Council collaborates with other organizations and institutions to develop programs that allow Council Members to engage with their counterparts in the United States and Japan. U.S.-Japan Council programming focuses on key bilateral issues and initiatives and includes the Japanese American Leadership Delegation Program, the Annual Conference and regional networking events. Along with the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo, the U.S.-Japan Council also administers the TOMODACHI Initiative, a public-private partnership, born out of support for Japan’s recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake, that invests in the next generation of Japanese and American leaders through educational and cultural exchanges as well as leadership programs.
