The Asiatic Society of Japan was founded at a meeting in Yokohama on October 1872. Early meetings were held in both Yokohama and Tokyo. It was granted affiliation with the Royal Asiatic Society in 1873. This was severed in 1911 and re-established in 1912, and again it was formally admitted as an Associate Society in 1936. However the Society's affiliation with the Royal Asiatic Society continued to be a matter of concern through the 1970s.

The Royal Asiatic Society Korea Branch applied to be an Associate Society in 1900 and this was approved in January 1901. As such, it is the oldest organization in Korea designed to introduce people to Korea in all its many aspects. Its early history was somewhat disrupted due to political difficulties but it has been continuously active since 1956. It remains an active international cultural and social organization in Korea.
