Information on
memberships and donations

The unprecedented coronavirus crisis now engulfing the world has been hugely disruptive for international students currently studying in Japan.
In addition, students who had planned to come to Japan from overseas this spring have been forced to change their plans.
Naturally enough, this has also put the Association in a difficult situation, since our core activity is providing assistance and support to these international students.
Your patience and understanding are sincerely appreciated given the difficult circumstances in which we find ourselves.
We remain profoundly grateful for your kind support through your membership fees and donations.
