The JNS held the New Year’s Party at the Tokyo Daijingu Matsuya Salon in Iidabashi on Wednesday, January 24. In the presence of Mr. Peters, Chargé d'affaires of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Japan, and his wife, about 80 JNS members, both Dutch and Japanese, celebrated the New Year with delight. We also conducted a customary lottery with many great prizes donated by our corporate members and the Japan-Netherlands Society of Kansai. We would like to extend a special gratitude to all of the companies and organizations listed below who have graciously donated these great prizes.
