The ACCJ maintains an active outreach program with the Japanese government. From roundtable discussions with high-ranking government officials to one-on-one meetings with members of the Japanese Diet, ACCJ members meet frequently with government representatives on issues relevant to member business interests.

Since 1994, the ACCJ has conducted its annual Diet Doorknock, an intensive three-day outing during which multiple teams of ACCJ members take their policy recommendations directly to the Diet through meetings with dozens of Japanese lawmakers, sometimes including the Prime Minister.

To ensure that U.S. private interests are represented, the ACCJ closely monitors political and regulatory developments. Through press releases, open letters to policymakers, Public Comment submissions, Viewpoints, and other publications, the ACCJ offers the Japanese government valuable input and concrete recommendations on legislative proposals under consideration.

For more information on the ACCJ's outreach activities with the Japanese government, please contact the External Affairs Department (03) 3433-8451.
