Strengthening ties between the U.S. & Japan by building a community of leaders across cultures, sectors and generations
About us
The U.S.-Japan Council is a 501(c) 3 non-profit educational organization that contributes to strengthening U.S.-Japan relations by bringing together diverse leadership, engaging stakeholders and exploring issues that benefit communities, businesses and government entities on both sides of the Pacific. The Council promotes people-to-people relations as crucial to a strong U.S.-Japan relationship. Recognizing the catalytic role that Japanese Americans play in strengthening U.S.-Japan relations, the Council cultivates an international network of Japanese American leaders known as Council Members. The U.S.-Japan Council collaborates with other organizations and institutions to develop programs that allow Council Members to engage with their counterparts in the United States and Japan. U.S.-Japan Council programming focuses on key bilateral issues and initiatives and includes the Japanese American Leadership Delegation Program, the Annual Conference and regional networking events. Along with the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo, the U.S.-Japan Council also administers the TOMODACHI Initiative, a public-private partnership, born out of support for Japan’s recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake, that invests in the next generation of Japanese and American leaders through educational and cultural exchanges as well as leadership programs.

Grateful to Sumitomo Corporation for their continued support and commitment to nurturing the next generation of leaders who will grow the bilateral relationship between our two countries.
🎉🎓 Tomodachi: A Bridge to the Future 🌏 Today, we are proud to introduce TOMODACHI Sumitomo Corporation Scholarship Program, now in its 11th year! "Tomodachi" means "friends" in Japanese, and our program embodies the spirit of friendship and mutual understanding. We welcomed back the 10th cohort who returned from the United States and gathered the 11th cohort who are about to embark on their journey to America. Through cultural exchange, they have gained the power to shape the future. We fully support them as they take on new challenges. Their growth and success are a source of pride for all of us. 🌟 Sumitomo Corporation will continue to support young people as they spread their wings. The future is in their hands, and the bonds of friendship will light their way. #SumitomoCorporation #TOMODACHI #Friends #Scholarship #BridgeToTheFuture #YouthEmpowerment

"All of these key elements would not have been possible without the expertise and engagement of USJC’s members and the generous support of Japan’s government."
