Why become a member of FEW?

"I would not have the friends, social environment and business contacts I have today if it was not for FEW."

"FEW plays an integral part in all aspects of my life in Japan today. With a membership of like-minded and business savvy women, I can get the support I need on any level, and am given much opportunity to become active in my community here. It is a lively group and we have a great deal of fun!"

About Us

FEW, was founded in 1981 by two foreign female entrepreneurs wishing to create a professional and social network empowering women in Tokyo. FEW has evolved tremendously since then.

Members include a broad cross section of professionals from marketers, journalists, entertainment specialists, attorneys and bankers to freelance photographers, translators and entrepreneurs in a variety of industries. Members also include women at the start of their careers such as students and interns. Since September 2008, membership has been open to English-speaking Japanese nationals.
