Kea Japan was launched on 31 October 2009 in Tokyo when Prime Minister John Key addressed a group of over 150 Kiwis in the giant rugby ball venue prior to an All Blacks test match.

Kea Japan continues this legacy of building a network of people from ‘the land of the long white cloud’ within ‘the land of the rising sun’.

This is done through creating opportunities to connect with fellow Kiwis and friends to share knowledge and contacts that will enhance growth and prosperity for all involved. Kea Japan is a great way to expand your business and networks in the region. We assist in trade, investment, education, tourism and other projects that will benefit New Zealand and Japan’s historically long-standing relationship.

Japan is an anchor economy for New Zealand, so whether your request is big or small, please contact Kea Japan to connect with members who have decades of experience living and working in Japan and we will work towards finding the right solutions for you.
