Welcome to the Employees Welfare Association Tokyo!

Your EWA aims to contribute greatly to the morale of the Embassy Community!

Established in 1952, the EWA is a dynamic, ever evolving organization that exits to benefit its members by providing services to enhance your everyday lives in Japan. Set up under Commissary and Recreation Affairs of the U.S. State Department, it is a cross between a small business and a not-for-profit organization.

EWA exists with the oversight and approval of Post Administration and is accountable to the Office of Commissary and Recreation Affairs financially and operationally.

As a small business, it is expected to make a profit; however, as a not-for-profit organization, all profits are used to benefit the membership.

The Employees Welfare Association exists to provide value to its members who are stationed overseas. We focus on wellness and community engagement by offering value added services to our members who are away from the familiarity of home. We believe we play a vital role in helping our members feel not just comfortable in a foreign country, but also adding convenience and improving their day-to-day lives.

Through new and creative fundraising and outreach programs in collaboration with the CLO, we plan to maximize community involvement by highlighting all that the EWA offers. We want to be seen as the force for good we believe we are. We want members to understand where their funds are going and to feel confident in knowing they’re being used to best improve the entire Embassy Community’s experience. We will always be open, honest and available. We understand our role is one of stewards and we plan to ensure the financial stability of the association for all current and future members.
