Japan Society of Sonochemistry (JSS) has been established in 1992 as a non-profit organisation. The society and its members are interested in the application of ultrasound in chemistry and related fields (e.g. materials science, medicine, biotechnology). About 120 persons join the society. Members are drawn from varying backgrounds and have varying interests.

Each year, usually in autumn, the Society holds a two-day meeting, the venue in different cities in Japan. The meetings cover a wide range of topics in sonochemistry and its application. In addition to regular sessions, several special sessions are organized, with invited lectures and contributed papers. In total, roughly 50 papers are presented and 100 people participate in each meeting.

The JSS Prize for Distinguished Achievements in sonochemistry is given to at most two persons a year for original works in Sonochemistry. The outstanding scientific papers Prize is awarded for at most two outstanding papers appearing in journals every year. The Incentive Prize is given to at most four promising young researchers every year for outstanding presentations given at the JSS meetings. The Society awards a merit medal to persons for their contribution to the development of the Society
