Get The Resources You Need
Japanese expatriates need access to local resources and companies that will assist their families, language, vocation, education, and relationships. Over the years, JAASC has developed an extensive list of resources that benefit expatriates and US residents moving to South Carolina. We also have resources for anyone who wishes to engage in martial arts, cultural experiences, and language study.
If you have any additional resources in South Carolina that you’d like to share, please
