Japan is a country in East Asia. Japan Cryonics Association was founded in 1998, and it was replaced by the Japan Translife Association (JTLA) in 2016. JTLA does not have its own long-term care facility.

The Chinese Shandong Yinfeng Life Science Research Institute's area of coverage currently is limited to mainland China and Taiwan, however they are planning on extending into all of Asia starting in 2022.
