The mission of the Japan Alaska Association (JAA) is to promote friendship between Alaska and Japan by creating opportunities within Alaska to share, preserve and celebrate Japanese traditions and culture. JAA also provides opportunities to develop friendly relations and mutual understanding between Japanese people and the residents of Alaska and contributes to the peaceful international friendship between Japan and the United States.

ABOUT JAA
The Japan Alaska Association, formerly known as the Japanese Society of Alaska, was established certified as a 501(c)4 non-profit organization by the State of Alaska on June 28th, 1988. Almost 30 years later, the Japan Alaska Association assumed 501(c)3 non-profit status to expand its capacity to serve our Alaskan community and US-Japan relations. JAA partners with the Consular Office of Japan in Anchorage to host the annual Japanese Summer Festival and hosts a range of community events including the Rice Pounding Festival, New Years Celebration, Kotatsu Series community discussions and joint potlucks to strengthen U.S.-Japan relations. Anyone interested in promoting JAA’s mission is welcome to become a member.
The Japan Alaska Associationは, 前身であるJapanese Society of Alaskaが1988年6月28日にアラスカ州より501(c)4 非営利団体として承認を受けています。約30年後、The Japan Alaska Associationはその規模を拡張して、更にアラスカのコミュニティーと日米関係に役立てるため、501(c)3の非営利団体になりました。JAAは、日米関係を深めるため、在アンカレジ領事事務所のご協力で、恒例となっている「夏まつり」「餅つき大会」「新年総会」「こたつシリーズ座談会」を開催しています。JAAの活動の促進に共感される方であれば、どなたでも会員になれます。
