Thanks for stepping up and offering to be the Local Chapter Coordinator. That's the hard part out of the way!

Now all we need is for four more members to show an interest and I'll make your group official.

In the meantime, you may want to get an email that you'll use for this purpose (you shouldn't use your personal email, since this will be public) I suggest something like japanbogleheads@gmail.com.

Let me know via PM when you've got the other four.

We just need one more Boglehead in Japan to get the Japan Local Chapter up and running. I'll make it official as soon as we hear from that last member.

Living in Japan is not a requirement.

But Bogleheads Japan Chapter is planning to have a meeting in Japanese as the first step.

To have the Japan Chapter meeting in English, we needs to involve more members who can speak English. It is appreciated if you could wait until we are ready.

Communicating in English on this thread is welcome :happy

It's sad that Vanguard Investments Japan has disappeared, but we are working to convey Mr. Bogle and Vanguard's investment philosophy (long-term, diversification, low cost, etc.) to Japanese individual investors with our volunteer colleagues.
