The EU-Japan Fest Japan Committee is a non-profit and non-governmental organization established by European ambassadors to Japan and Japanese business and cultural figures on the occasion of the 1993 request to assist with Japanese participation in the European Capital of Culture Antwerp, in Belgium.
The Committee supports Japan-related programs held mainly in conjunction with each year's European Capital of Culture, as well as the continuation, development, and offshoots of programs from previous European Capitals of Culture, and lead-up programs to future European Capitals of Culture.
