Work in Osaka or the Kansai Region?
​The ACCJ Has a Chapter for You​

The only foreign chamber of commerce with a presence in the Kansai region, the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ACCJ) has an active chapter serving those in the Kansai region.

The ACCJ-Kansai is the most prominent and influential international organization contributing to the Kansai business community through key advocacy initiatives and highly relevant programs delivered by an engaged and networked membership.
​
While Kansai represents less than 10% of the total land area in the country, the region makes up 17% of the population and a surprising 17% of Japan's GDP. With many universities in the area, there is a great deal of talent, making Kansai an attractive location for business.

Large multi-national corporations and small to mid-sized companies operate successfully here, with the dominant industries being medical, pharmaceutical, electronics and heavy industry/manufacturing. For those who work in Osaka in the international business arena, the ACCJ-Kansai chapter is the source for networking, information and advocacy.

Six active committees plan and host roughly 25 events annually, in addition to the ever-popular Kansai Walk-a-thon and KISS Charity Concert.
