The JNS held the New Year’s Party at Hotel Grand Hill Ichigaya in Ichigaya on Monday, January 19, 2026. In the presence of His Excellency Mr. Gills Beschoor Plug, Ambassador 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 and enjoyed a lot with many great prizes donated by our corporate members and the Japan-Netherlands Society of Kansai. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all the companies and organizations that have generously donated these great prizes.
