Entrance Fees to Rise
The Board of Governors recently approved an increase to the Club's entrance fees to maintain a high level of service at the Club while ensuring sustainable, diverse membership growth.
From July 1, 2015, foreign residents will pay an entrance fee of ¥1.5 million (an increase of ¥300,000) and prospective Japanese Members will pay ¥3.5 million (an increase of ¥500,000).
"With this entrance fee change in mind, this would be a good time to introduce any coworkers or friends to the benefits of Club membership," says Club President John Durkin. "Members who introduce somebody who joins the Club can earn a ¥40,000 voucher for use at the Club."
