Der Verein Japanisch-Deutscher Musikfreunde wurde im Jahr 1991 von Musikern, die in deutschsprachigen Ländern studiert haben gegründet. Das Gründungsziel des Vereins ist die freundschaftliche Beziehung zwischen den Musikern aus deutschen und japanischen Kulturräumen zu stärken und die persönliche Verständigung durch die Musik zu vertiefen. Der Schwerpunkt unserer Aktivitäten liegt auf Opern und Ballet Vorstellungen, Symphonie und Kammermusikkonzerten,  den durch Dozenten aus Deutschland sowie aus Österreich geführten Kursen, Konzerttournee etc.
Nach unseren Aktivitäten finden meisten junge Mitglieder ihren Weg, in Deutschland/Österreich zu studieren. Viele von uns bleiben auch nach dem Veranstaltungen weiterhin mit ausländische Musikern in Kontakt.
