On 13-19 March, 18 students of Keio Girls Senior High School visited the San Francisco Bay Area through the KAKEHASHI Project to deepen their understanding of the U.S. as well as to promote a greater appreciation and interest in Japan among young Americans.
During their stay in the Bay Area, the students visited the Consulate to be briefed on the Japan-California relationship and the history of Japanese Americans in California. They also took part in an exchange and homestay program with students from a local high school and visited San Francisco’s Japan Town and Silicon Valley. On the last day, they had a discussion on what they had learned and how they would build on the experiences they gained from this trip in the Bay Area.
