JANAFA-Newport
Japan-America Society of Southern New England (JASNE) started as the Japan America Navy Friendship Association-Newport (JANAFA-Newport) in late 2018 in order tp arrange on-base activities that focus on connecting military members and their families together to help them prepare for future assignments in Japan or to celebrate their previous time in Japan. The original JANAFA in Yokosuka, Japan, gave us permission to use the name.
If you live in the southern New England area and were stationed in Japan, spent significant time in Japan on deployment or TAD/TDY, or are heading to Japan in a future assignment, please contact us and consider attending JANAFA-Newport get-togethers.
Our Mission
Promote US-Japan Alliance
Foster Greater Friendship
Connect People Together
We were proud to be recognized by the original JANAFA in Japan in April 2024
