We are a nonprofit organization promoting and strengthening US-Japan relations in Wisconsin.

The Japan-America Society of Wisconsin is organized and operated as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. JASWI provides a platform where people with interest or connection to Japan can meet, grow and inspire one another.

Our work is only possible through the generous support of our members and donors.
