The Japan-America Society of Georgia

The Japan-America Society of Georgia (JASG) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote mutual understanding between the people of Japan and the state of Georgia through establishing and promoting ties and programs in the areas of business, culture, education, public affairs, and social networking.

The Japan-America Society of Georgia (JASG) partners with other international organizations and institutions to build appreciation of international culture and commerce in Georgia. At the same time, we have a unique and important part to play as the state's foremost bridge between Japan and Georgia, between Japanese visitors and Georgia's citizens, between Georgia's corporations and Japanese markets, and between Japanese and American individuals, students, and families in Georgia. We reach out to Japanese business people and their families, anticipating and fulfilling their needs. We also reach out to Georgians, including government and civic leaders, with a message that international business and tourism are important to Georgia's future, and that understanding Japanese culture and business practices is a way of contributing to the state's growth. Our programs, events and materials are targeted at groups interested in Japan and America for different reasons, but they have a common thread: They are enlightening, interesting, and welcoming. They seek not just to teach about Japanese or American culture and business practices, but to introduce Japanese and American individuals to one another with the purpose of forming lasting professional and personal relationships.
