2025 Conference of New England Japan-focused Nonprofits

Wyndham Newport Hotel, Rhode Island

Sunday, October 26, 2025

IMG_7610.HEIC

We held an amazing gathering of thirteen New England Japan-focused Nonprofits along with the Consul General of Japan in Boston, two national organizations, educators, and businesses who are united in our desire to improve the US-Japan relationship and improve the understanding of people in the New England region about Japan, Japanese culture, and New England’s importance in the history of US-Japan relations. We got to know each other, what each of us are doing, learned how we can support and promote each other, and where we can work together.

It was a wonderful day. Thanks to our conference co-chairs and their team of volunteers who made this happen.

This program is supported by a grant from the National Association of Japan-America Societies, Inc., with the support of the Embassy of Japan in Washington, DC
