History
In the late 1950s, a small group of around ten individuals from Danish, Swedish and Norwegian companies in Japan began meeting regularly at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. These meetings aimed to share information on business opportunities in Japan and provide guidance to Scandinavian newcomers starting out in business.
Over time, the number of attendees grew, and by the mid-1960s, it was decided to establish separate national clubs, leading to the creation of the "Danish Businessman Club."
​
In 1990, the club underwent a name change to become the "Danish Chamber of Commerce Japan" ("DCCJ"), with new by-laws that outlined the primary goal of promoting and strengthening business relations between Denmark and Japan.
