Partners of the nineteenth evening
Three announcements, each read off the newsroom entry that made it, with the tier printed on the card itself. This is what they had announced by 22 September 2026 and not a complete partner list.
Everything the chamber runs besides its calendar
Eight initiatives, in the order their own page prints them, with the standfirst each one carries there. The pillars belong to a chamber vision project they call BCCJ 5.0; Responsible Business is its third pillar and Government Relations, introduced in 2022, is its fourth.
UK in Japan MAPPED
This map was created by the British Chamber of Commerce in Japan (BCCJ) to map out UK businesses and areas of cultural significance in Japan.
The counts are the ones the map itself prints. It is theirs, it is interactive, and it lives on their site rather than being copied here.
A book drive running since the end of 2012
Since Books For Smiles began at the end of 2012, more than 50 BCCJ member companies and individuals have pledged support.
Cash raised from the sale of books donated by BCCJ member firms and supporters helps disadvantaged youngsters into vocational training, so that they can gain a professional certificate and become economically independent.
The Books For Smiles project is run by the BCCJ in partnership with NPO Bridge for Smile, a National Tax Agency certified not-for-profit organisation which teaches care-leavers how to build social skills, manage a budget, find accommodation and get a job.
As an active and engaged part of the community in Japan, the BCCJ believes it is mutually beneficial to support those disadvantaged youths and support their development in becoming productive members of society.

The BCCJ is an active supporter of UK companies that have an interest in exploring opportunities in the Japan market.
