Q4 : What are the merits to visit Rotary Club of Tokyo South for make-up?

A4 : We emphasize three points below:

1. Accessible location while on a business trip.

   Tokyo Kaikan, the main venue of our club, is located near the Tokyo Station.(3 minutes’ walk from the 6th exit of JR Keiyo Line, Tokyo station)
   Since the location is easily accessible, it can be said that Tokyo Kaikan is the best place for make-ups while on a business trip to Tokyo.

2. Interesting speeches by our guests.

   At every meetings, we invite celebrities and experts from various fields and industries. Their speeches are insightful and invaluable, and have good reputation from members from other clubs who joined our meeting for a make-up.

3. Authentic cuisine at Tokyo Kaikan, the place established in Taisho 11(1922) and keeps its tradition and formality.

   The authentic French cuisine will be served while enjoying beautiful view of the central Tokyo. Members will definitely be able to have a lively conversation with each other while enjoying delicious meals and interesting speeches. We hope your attendance at our meeting will be a great chance to start communication with our club members.
