(as of March 2025)

Information for prospective members:

We are always delighted to welcome new members to the Cambridge & Oxford Society, Tokyo. Candidates for ordinary membership are required:

(1) to have completed at least nine terms of residence at either Cambridge or Oxford University, and/or
(2) to hold a degree or diploma from either University.

Residence of not less than one academic year at one of the universities may also qualify a candidate for membership.

The main function of the Society is to provide opportunities for Cambridge and Oxford men and women living in Japan to meet socially. To this end, the Society organises meetings monthly throughout the year, except during the summer and New Year holiday periods. Members' guests are welcome at most of these events, although a very small number are limited to members only. Golf tournaments are held in the spring and autumn at Hodogaya Country Club. Additional events are arranged to mark visits to Tokyo by dignitaries from the two universities when they occur.

If you wish to apply for membership of the Society, please send a completed application form (click here) to Ms. Naoko Miyazaki, Honorary Secretary (naoko.miyazaki[at]camford[dot]org), together with documentary evidence that you are qualified for membership (copies of degree certificates, etc.).

No entrance fee is payable, but ordinary members elected between January and July are required to pay the full annual subscription of 5,000 yen; those elected between August and December are required to pay half of the annual dues.
