Japanese

A completely inclusive society for all, whether you are from Japan or have an interest in all things Japanese! Whether it's the language that interests you or the culture, we've got you covered!

Konnichiha!

Are you a Japanese student coming to study at Leeds?

Are you a student who is studying Japanese?

Are you a student who just has a general interest in all things Japanese?

If you are anyone of the above, this society is for you! We make it our mission to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere in which all students Japanese and non-Japanese can share their interests and make lifelong friendships. Treat us as your own little slice of Japan, outside of Japan!

Socials

Weekly Socials

  • Pub Social– Every Monday we have a good ole’ get together at the aptly named ‘Library Pub’ for a catch up and a mental detox from your busy life! Whether you like alcohol or not, we are a family! All are welcome!
  • Kukki and Koucha– The Japanese equivalent of ‘tea and biscuits’. If the pub is not quite your thing, there is always a chance for a spot of tea and a bourbon or two…maybe 5! Either way, every Thursday afternoon we offer free tea, coffee, biscuits and occasionally Japanese treats on campus for a chance to meet new people and have a good chat!

 

Big Events

We also have lots of big events planned which will be posted about via our social media pages closer to the time! Last year this included a huge themed pub crawl (commonly referred to in Leeds as the Otley Run) and a spectacular Halloween party. A shameless plug nonetheless, but if you aren’t already, head over to our Facebook page and join the group and follow us on our Instagram to stay up-to-date with all our events.

Membership

We have revamped our membership system this year creating a 2 tier system:

  • Standard Membership– This is our standard membership tier and will give you discounts to all Japanese Society events as well as tonnes of discounts at our sponsorship stores! You will receive a cool E-Membership Card with your name on! (£6)
  • Premium Membership– This is our premium tier and will give you amazing discounts to all our events throughout the year and brilliant discounts at our sponsorship stores! You will receive an E-Membership Card for ease of use on your phone as well as a physical Membership Card to look snazzy in your purse/wallet! (£7)
