こんにちは！Konnichiwa!
Are you a Japanese student coming to study at Leeds?
Are you a student studying Japanese?
Are you a student who has an interest in Japanese or Japanese culture?
This society is perfect for you!
We are a society open and welcoming to everyone, hosting a range of welcoming social events centred around Japanese culture to encourage students to get to know others with similar interests. We aim to foster British-Japanese relations in the community, promote multicultural exchange with Japan with students from all backgrounds and cultures, and increase the appreciation of Japanese culture in Leeds, all through fun and sociable events!
All of our events will be posted onto our social media so keep an eye out for updates to our pages!
Our non early bird membership is £10 for students, and you unlock exclusive discounts/perks with our range of sponsors which include club nights, restaurants, shops and services, as well as members rates for paid JSoc events, and access to members-only events to enjoy.
We hope to welcome many new members throughout the year!
Events and Socials
Weekly "Oshaberikai" Socials – Every week (day TBC) 20:00 - 00:00 we have a casual get together at the pub for an opportunity to catch-up, chat, relax and meet new people. All are welcome!
Regular Language Exchange Socials - We will host events which support Japanese students in practising English and English-speaking students to learn Japanese!
Other Socials – We have many fun events planned for this year including a Boat Party, Pumpkin painting, Bowling, festive flower arranging, Karaoke sessions, Hanami (cherry blossom picnic), Club nights, Laser tag, Ghibli film night, a Formal Ball, and much more! We will also host seasonal events for both UK and Japanese holidays, and plan to have many collaborations with other societies.
Career Events - Throughout the year there are talks given by external speakers and career forums and for those currently job hunting for a job in Japan (these talks are given in Japanese), which we will share the details of with our members.
