The Japan Information Center is happy to provide materials to anyone living in our jurisdiction (only residents of IL, IN, IA, KS, MN, MO, NE, ND, SD, or WI are eligible). However, due to mailing costs, we appreciate your cooperation in following a couple of guidelines:

1. Make all of your selections at one time rather than multiple requests.
2. If at all possible, pick up your materials in person (please wait for confirmation that your order is ready).

Please browse through our selections and fill in the submission form at the end of this page. In the "Materials Request Information" portion of the form, please indicate which city/town/prefecture you would like resources for. Additionally, feel free to send us any comments or suggestions you may have.
