You can apply for CPIJ membership through the online application system (in Japanese). Please click on the button below to complete the application process.
After approval by the Board of Directors, the Articles of Association and the documents for payment of the admission fee and annual membership fee will be sent to you. However, the Board of Directors meets at approximately two-month intervals. Please note that you may have to wait up to three months for the Board of Directors to meet after your application form has been received by the Secretariat. If there is no suitable introducer in your area, please contact the Secretariat.
Once payment of the admission fee and annual membership fee has been confirmed, you will officially become a member.
The Institute’s fiscal year is from 1 April to 31 March of the following year. If you join mid-year, you will be eligible for membership from the date of approval by the Board of Directors, but there is no discount on the annual membership fee on a monthly basis. However, the journals and other publications published in the year of admission will be sent to you together with your existing publications. The application form has a box to indicate the year in which you wish to join the Society. If you wish to join in the following year, we will send you the journals published in the following year.

Payment of annual membership fees
In principle, annual membership fees are paid by automatic withdrawal (automatic bank account transfer).
New members will be sent the annual membership fee payment procedure documents together with the Articles of Association and the admission fee payment procedure documents. When paying the annual membership fee, please complete the procedure for automatic withdrawal of the annual membership fee.
If you are an existing member and have not yet completed the procedure for automatic withdrawal of annual membership fees, please do so as soon as possible. Please contact the Society Secretariat and we will send you the necessary documents by return.
*The account transfer service is outsourced to Mizuho Factor Co.
*You can also specify Japan Post Bank as your debit account.
*The date on which the annual membership fee is debited is 26 March at the end of the previous year (or the next working day if the bank is closed). However, if you are a new member or change to automatic withdrawal in the middle of the year, we will inform you separately.
