Social & Cultural Programs

Mark Berry pounds mochi with assistance from Machiko KandaThe Japan-America Society hosts programs that highlight unique aspects of Japanese life and culture – both traditional and contemporary. Other programs introduce Texas culture to Japanese residents. Annual events include an autumn Moonviewing, or Otsukimi, at the Dallas Arboretum; our popular Mochitsuki New Year's Celebration held each January; and the Annual Meeting held in late spring to elect officers and enjoy an evening together. Occasional events include Japanese art and music programs, dinners at Japanese restaurants, group outings to baseball games, and more.

In addition, MIYABI, our Young Professionals Group, organizes informal activities for special interest groups within the Society.

All of these activities bring Japanese and Americans together – to share traditions, exchange ideas, and make new friends.
