Who we are
The Japanese Student Association at the University of Washington promotes Japanese culture and traditions to the greater Seattle community. We offer a variety of cultural events throughout the year.
Upcoming Event
Matsuri
May 4th • 5:00 PM - 9:00 PM • HUB Ballroom
Matsuri is UW Japanese Student Association’s most popular annual event, and the largest celebration of Japanese culture on campus. Unlike our other (fantastic) events throughout the year, Matsuri’s appeal extends beyond the UW community, inviting everyone of any age to come together and enjoy the festivities throughout the day.
