*What’s Bridge Asia Foundation?

Non-Profit Organization supporting overseas students through scholarships and cultural exchanges between Japan and Asian countries.

The organization was established 30 years ago, 1988 by the founder, Mr. Takemoto, and started activities by supporting overseas students by himself, as per experiences in the USA that brought him a lot of difficulties and cultural and language barriers.

At first, the activity started at a yakiniku restaurant (Korean style barbeque restaurant) for a small group of Korean students who was not able to go back to their home country during Lunar New Year.  After year by year, network of students became larger and the dinner at the time of the year continued for around 10 years.

While the opportunity was offered by Mr. Takemoto by his own hospitality for the first 10 years, the event has become known to public and since year 2000, the celebration party hosts around 300 up to 500 overseas students.

In year 2002, the organization was officially recognized as NPO namely Bridge Asia & World, and year 2008 the name of the organization changed to Bridge Asia Foundation and it has well social environment to continuing support for overseas students.
