AJS Tasmania has several upcoming events for the latter half of 2026, so please ‘save the date(s)’ in your calendars:

- An Antarctic & Maritime event is being planned for winter - date to be confirmed. This will be a great opportunity to learn about Tasmania and Japan's Antarctic relationship.

- Our popular ‘Hanami Trail’ in the north of the state will return Sunday, September 27th. Join us under the sakura in Deloraine and beyond!

- ‘Bunka no Hi’ will be back Saturday November 7th. Japan's 'Culture Day' is a great time to explore and experience many of the country's games, art and culture.

Please keep an eye out for further details as they are released. Feel free to share this with your friends and colleagues!
