Though Tokyo based, some 35 FCCJ members reside in Kansai. With Osaka preparing to host the 2025 World Expo and the Cultural Affairs Agency relocating to Kyoto, international media interest in the region is expected to grow in the coming years. On April 21st, FCCJ will conduct a Zoom conference with interested residents of the Kansai region about FCCJ and the state of the foreign media in Japan. Panelists will take questions from attendees, including Kansai-based journalists, business leaders, diplomats, academics, artists, activists, and students. Please join us for what promises to be a lively discussion.
