Building Bridges to the Next Century
For 100 remarkable years, JASSW has forged friendship and understanding between the peoples of Japan and Washington State.
We delight in bringing people together in so many ways:
- From classrooms to boardrooms
- Lively discussions with community partners
- In-person opportunities to learn from and celebrate each other
We also participate in the national network of JAS organizations to sustain and strengthen the vital U.S.-Japan relationship.
It is an important mission, but it is also lots of fun.
Join us in helping shape the next 100 years of the Japan-U.S. relationship through educational, cultural, business and opportunities for life-long friendships.
Thank You to Our Centennial 百寿 Milestone Sponsors!
