For off-base activities, JANAFA-Newport also does business as the Japan-America Society of Southern New England (JASNE or JAS Southern New England). As JASNE, the society aims to connect individuals throughout southern New England who have significant connections with or interest in Japan.  JASNE offers services and activities to foster greater friendship between Japan and America, including supporting other organisations in southern New England focused on Japan-America relations in their efforts and promoting their events.
