With over a century of formal diplomatic ties between Greece and Japan, the Greek Chamber of Commerce in Japan proudly serves as a living bridge between our two nations—fostering trade, innovation, and cultural exchange.

As the only officially recognized Greek community organization in Japan, certified by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), we are committed to supporting the Greek community however we can—not only in business, but in spirit, in connection, and in solidarity.

This commitment to helping wherever possible is part of a long tradition of the Greek diaspora around the world: a spirit of resilience, pride, and mutual support. We are not just an institution—we are a community. And I hope all Greeks in Japan will see this Chamber as their own.
