  • Our Partner

    In March 2018, Asia Society Japan was launched in partnership with the International House of Japan as a new global hub in East Asia. For sixty-five years since its establishment, Asia Society has been dedicated to nurturing peace and development in Asia. It has been a platform for dialogue and exchange, for promoting mutual understanding between Asia and the United States. Respecting this philosophy and tradition, the Japan Center offers various programs covering the fields of policy, economy, diplomacy, arts, culture and business, led by the three committees for “Policy,” “Art” and “Asia 21.”
