About Us

Connecting Exonians across Japan

We're a group of Exeter alumni who found ourselves in Japan and figured—why not hang out?

Whether you live here, are passing through, or just thinking about visiting, we'd love to meet you. We get together for dinners, drinks, and the occasional networking event. Nothing formal, just good people catching up.

Need advice on apartments, jobs, or where to find good ramen near your office? Someone in our group has probably been there. We're happy to help.

For Current Students

  • Applications typically open in early spring
  • Speak with the Science Department for details
  • Connect with program alumni through our network

For Alumni Mentors

If you're a Riken program alum or work in research in Japan, consider mentoring current students.
