Canberra Japan Club
Connect, belong and enjoy life in Canberra.
Canberra Japan Club brings together Japanese and Japanese-Australian people living in Canberra and the surrounding region. We share practical local information and create opportunities to meet, learn and enjoy life through community activities, clubs and events. Since 1998, CJC has supported connections between members, encouraged an appreciation of Japanese culture and learning, and helped build greater understanding of Japanese culture in the Canberra community. Whether you have just arrived or have called Canberra home for many years, you are welcome to explore CJC.
