August 24, 2023 marks 75 years since the ACCJ was founded and the start of a year-long celebration. Over more than seven decades, the Chamber’s members and key partners have helped pursue our mission of developing commerce between the U.S. and Japan, promoting the interests of members, and contributing to improving the international business environment in Japan.

With relations between Japan and the U.S. closer than ever and Japan in the global spotlight from a policy, business, and tourism perspective, this milestone year is an opportunity to celebrate the past and come together for a stronger future. We thank all the ACCJ members and partners who contribute to achieving our goals, helping the community, and advancing the U.S.–Japan economic partnership.

Stay tuned throughout the year for signature events, merchandise, a special edition of the Journal and more. We welcome members to send in photos or your favorite ACCJ memory for us to share!
