Welcome to the JANZ Ladies' website
goodwill and understanding among the women of Japan, Australia and New Zealand
The JANZ Ladies' Group is a friendly and supportive organization for women from Australia and New Zealand presently living in Japan and Japanese women who have lived in either Australia or New Zealand for at least one year, or women who are married to Australian or New Zealand passport holders.
Australians and New Zealanders are especially welcome at the moment to
ensure even representation of the three countries. If
you would like to join the JANZ Ladies Group or have more information
about the group, please send us an e-mail using the 'Contact' button.
The JANZ Committee aims to provide members with opportunities to meet
new people, explore Japan and find people with common interests to
share their time in Japan with. We have excursions outside Tokyo,
day-trips of a cultural nature and various interest groups. The current
membership stands at 200 in total.
Newsletters with up-coming events are sent out monthly.
