Committees and subcommittees are the lifeblood of the Chamber. Committees meet on a regular basis and are broad-based in nature; subcommittees are industry-specific groups that operate under the aegis of a parent committee. These committees regularly receive briefings from ministry and U.S. Embassy officials, and petition public officials and politicians regarding sector-specific concerns.

Each year the committees and subcommittees organize more than 500 events, lectures, and seminars featuring global business leaders, government officials, and Japan specialists. These events provide members with unique and dynamic perspectives on business in Japan as well as a forum for networking among international executives.

Note: While the vast number of Committees, Subcommittees, and Task Forces are open to all members, the chairs do have the right to restrict membership and/or attendance, and some Committees, Subcommittees, and Task Forces may also charge additional dues. Contact the ACCJ office to find out the membership policy of any Committee, Subcommittee, or Task Force you are interested in joining.

If you are a Chair / Vice Chair of your committee and would like to request an information change regarding your committee, please complete and submit the online ACCJ Committee Information Change Request Form.
