On June 16, UCLA Chancellor Gene Block and related personnel arrived in Japan and after holding discussions with urban development personnel at Kashiwa-no-ha Smart City, held an inaugural reception. The UCLA Japan Center was founded as a memorial project for the 100th anniversary of UCLA in 2019 and will serve as a point of contact for UCLA in Japan, a Japan Alumni Association office and a Japan base for UCLA researchers.
