One visible way to pinpoint the value we bring to British Chamber of Commerce in Japan (BCCJ) members is through our events programme.
Comprising five parts, our strategy is designed to boost the impact of all functions we hold—about 40 per year. We aim to clarify the objectives of all sessions held and broker meaningful business relationships both during and after events.
The BCCJ events taskforce, led by Graham Davis (individual member) and Alison Beale (Oxford University Japan), is one of the most talented and dedicated teams with which I’ve had the pleasure of working.

Best of British
We are looking forward to hosting the BCCJ’s final event before summer: The Great British Garden Party. To be held at Andaz Tokyo, it will celebrate the reputation for beautiful gardens shared by the UK and Japan. Guests should prepare to be stunned by spectacular views across Tokyo from the 51st floor.
The evening is organised in association with The Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Japan–British Society. We are on course to welcome more than 200 guests to what is sure to be a high-value evening of networking and fun.
