Japan Visiting Fellowship

Launched in 1999, the Stimson Center’s Japan Visiting Fellowship provides mid-career Japanese security experts from government agencies and ministries, news organizations, and research institutions with the opportunity to conduct policy-oriented research in Washington, D.C. on issues that strengthen their understanding of U.S. security policy towards East Asia and U.S.-Japan security relations. The program has been a step in the careers of many prominent Japanese thinkers and leaders, both civilian and in uniform.
