Japan Directory of
Professional Associations - JDPA
This is the home page of JDPA Online. Over 9,000 Japanese
associations, societies, institutes, centers, laboratories and similar
organizations in Japan are listed. You are welcomed to view the index
pages. Just click on the appropriate letter in the column on the left.
For example, "The Art and Music Appreciation Association" (not a real
society) would be listed under "A". It would also be listed in the
subject list under "Art" and also under "Music". This
society might have the Japanese name "Geijutsu to Ongaku Kansho
Kyokai"; and would thus also be listed under "G" in the alfa list.
You can see all index pages, but only JDPA
subscribers (password required) will be able to go through the links to
see contact details. Contact details consist of: Organization name in
English, Organization name in romaji*, Department, Building,
Street/block address, City/prefecture, Postal code, Telephone,
Facsimile, Email, URL. Some records contain additional information on
the organization. Some URLs lead to websites that are partly or totally
in English, but other websites contain very little or no English. Some
websites also have pages in other languages such as Korean, Chinese,
French, German, Spanish, etc.
If you have questions,

happy to try to help you. Contact us here.
