Join ASJ
We have been exploring Japan for 150 years.
There is no typical ASJ Member.
Many of us are from Japan.
Others of us came to Japan a long time ago.
And yet others are just passing through.
We are a family of many members from different cultures and walks of life.
As with our founders 150 years ago, our spirit of exploration
of Asia—most especially Japan—unites us.
We are hooked on the excitement of discovery and of sharing discoveries.
If you think ASJ might be for you, please contact us.
We will be delighted to listen to your interests and tell you more about ASJ.
