In Japan there exists an informal community of Ukrainians abroad - "Krayany". The aim of this community lies in popularization of Ukraine in Japan and providing assistance in solving cultural problems to those Ukrainians who have mixed marriages and would like to give their children the elements of Ukrainian education. In addition, the mentioned community carries out on regular basis flash mobs, demonstrations, campaigns in support of Ukraine, as well as other commemoration events, etc.

In 2009 the Ukrainian school "Dzhereltse" was founded in Tokyo by the community "Krayany" which attends both preschool and school-age children. The classes are held twice per month and include such areas as reading, writing, math and art. The main goal of the school is to teach the children from Ukrainian and multinational families to speak Ukrainian, to familiarize them with children's folklore and Ukrainian culture so that they could preserve traditions of their people in the future.
