Our Mission
We are holding a sustainable event to deepen the engagement between the Japanese community and the local organizations/people on the Gold Coast, which is the largest Japanese community in Australia.
Through performances, food, and cultural experiences, we aim to foster interest and understanding of Japan.
The Japanese Society of Gold Coast has been able to hold Japan and Friends Day for many years thanks to the support of our local community and businesses. We would like to express our gratitude and introduce the companies that have generously supported us.
