The Japan Exchange Society was founded in 2004 in order to bring together native Japanese people and others interested in Japanese language and culture. Through shared experiences, members learn to understand and appreciate each other to build lasting friendships.

Meetings and Activities

The Japan Exchange Society meets in Cupertino and San Mateo several times each month. In addition, we organize events for members to socialize and have fun. Past events include bowling, hiking, laser tag, beach bonfires, sake tasting, sporting events, and many more!

From the official Capcom US Blog:

We’re looking to some Capcom fans to share their thoughts on one of our new games.

Here’s how it works: You come in next Tuesday, March 11th, from 2pm to 5pm. We let you play a brand new game, then complain to us about it! There will be gaming, snacks, and even a river made of pure chocolate. In addition to getting your mitts on a game that none of the other kids get to play, we’ll also be showering prizes on anyone we select.
