Make an introduction

Visiting Family

Members' relatives visiting from overseas can join the Club for up to three months under the sponsorship of a current Member for a monthly fee of ¥6,000 per family member. Members should register each family member online before they arrive.

Adult Family Membership

Members can register adult dependents, including children, retired parents or parents-in-law or other family member aged 21 or above, on their membership as Adult Family Members.

Each membership request must be approved by the Board of Governors and is subject to annual renewal and approval.

Life Membership

For Regular Members who will no longer be living in Japan, converting to Life membership allows short-term visits to the Club for up to 60 days per year while still enjoying full reciprocal Club privileges.

The Member must have been a dues-paying Resident, previously Corporate Regular and/or converted Term Regular Member in good standing—meeting all financial obligations and having committed no House infractions—for a minimum of 3-years before a conversion to Life membership can be completed. (This rule applies to any Member who joins the Club after August 1, 2024.)

Contact the Membership Office to discuss this option or visit the Life Membership page for more details.

Leaving

Members departing Tokyo or seeking to resign from the Club for other reasons can request a resignation form from the Membership Office.

Those planning to return to Japan or the Club in the future may wish to inquire about Life membership. Following a 2009 amendment to the General Rules, the twice-annual assessments will be prorated for resigning Members.

Departing Members can also make use of the Guest Studios at favorable rates.
