The New York office provides support for Japanese Studies, exchange of performing arts, and assistance for media-related projects such as film or video productions. Since the public’s interest in Japan and the level of understanding differs by region in the United States, the cooperation of diplomatic establishments in each area is essential. The New York office collects information from committees and councils, as well as from specialists in relevant fields, to provide assistance in providing and coordination of projects which best suits the particular local situation and needs.
The Japan Foundation is represented by two offices in the United States—one in New York and the other in Los Angeles.
