Established in 1989 in Amstelveen, the Japan Women’s Club (JWC) is a non-profit organisation whose founding members were women of the Japanese business community in the Netherlands. Their intention was to create a club that would help to introduce its members to the culture of their new surroundings and, with various activities, help to establish contact with the local people. The club’s activities include various charity activities, a craft club and Japanese conversation meetings, which are open to Dutch Japanese students and others wanting to improve their Japanese.
