About

The Japanese Ancestral Society (Nikkei Jin Kai) is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the Nikkei community. The group’s goal is to recognize the accomplishments of Japanese Americans, promote fellowship among members of the Nikkei community, and preserve ties with Japan. We promote the cultural heritage of our community through activities that value education, multigenerational programs and community participation.
