Our 2013 New Year Party (Shinnenkai) welcoming the newly-appointed Canadian Ambassador to Japan.

1st TJCS New Year Party.

Also known simply in Japan as the Shin-nen-kai (New Year Party)


Our Canadian ambassador, Mr. Mackenzie Clugston, who was formally inaugurated on Sep 12th, 2012 was invited to this event at the Nagoya Hilton on January 16th, 2013.

Group of people, some in suits, some in traditional Japanese attire, holding shamisen instruments.

We had a very diverse crowd of over 100 guests from across central Japan including prefectural and city governments, business leaders and university officials, all interested in the Japan - Canada relationship. Many new friendships were established and many old ones reaffirmed. We hope you can join us during the year as we plan on having more events soon.


DATE: January 16th, 2013

VENUE: Hilton Nagoya
