Upcoming Events

With our extensive programme of events, the Japan Society provides many opportunities for Japanese and non-Japanese to meet and share ideas and new experiences. Naturally, there is plenty on offer for those wanting to extend their understanding of contemporary and traditional Japan, its culture, language and people. However, with a membership that is approximately 50% Japanese, we also have events which focus on aspects of British life and provide opportunities to get to know the UK better. The format of events is as varied as the content: lectures and seminars sit alongside gallery visits, film screenings, pub nights and formal dinners.

Please select a category on the left to find upcoming events matching your interests.

(This page lists events organized solely or jointly by the Japan Society as well as events in receipt of a Japan Society Small Grant.  For other events, please see the ‘external events’ pages or the Japan UK Events Calendar.)
