About Us

The Japanese Culture Society (JCS) is an entity dedicated to revealing the enjoyable, interesting and tantalizing components of the Japanese culture from the admirer's point of view.

Our focus is simple - to introduce a large number of Houstonians to the history, culture, entertainment, language and cuisine that makes Japan a phenomenal land.   Through a series of events and activities we hope to explore what makes Japan's culture unique.   Whether it is watching an ancient GO presentation or the singing the latest songs at the next karaoke party,  we hope to learn and experience the most interesting parts of this mysterious culture.

Our organization is a self-supporting entity (through the participation of our members and the profits from our events) but we proudly work directly with other local organizations throughout the city.  The JCS is open to anyone who wants to know about Japan.   To learn about 'culture' without necessarily being of 'the culture'.   We stress our outreach to those who have an interest in the Japanese culture.  They enjoy the cuisine and activities associated with the Land of the Rising Sun.  Japan has a long and rich history going back almost 2000 years.  It is our quest and pleasure to explore and present this rich culture through both education and entertainment.   So hold on tight to your chopsticks and let’s get started.

If you have any questions or comments please let us know, we would love to hear from you.
