The history of Japanese Antarctic research dates back more than 60 years to 1955, when the Japanese cabinet decided to launch the first Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE1) the following year.
To enhance efficiency, our projects are guided by clearly defined medium-term goals and plans.
We hold various events and provide information materials to widely publicize Japan’s Antarctic research and the current work of Japan’s Antarctic research teams. We also offer unique programs that allow teachers to participate in Antarctic expeditions and connect via live satellite sessions from Syowa Station to educate and inspire future generations of scientists.
