Welcome to Japan Vegetarian Society (JPVS)

Japan Vegetarian Society is a nonprofit organization (NPO) that was officially founded in May of 2001. Our motto is "to always consider the well-being of our earth and its people in Japan" and we aim to teach and promote vegetarian as it is concerned with general well-being, nutrition, ethics, respect for life, preservation of our environment, and stopping starvation in developing countries.
