Undergraduates who are interested in traveling to Japan this summer should attend this information session!

The KAKEHASHI Project aims to heighten potential interest in Japan and increase the number of overseas visitors to the country, as well as enhance international understanding of the “Japan brand,” or the nation’s strengths and attractiveness, such as Japanese-style values and “Cool Japan.” The project is also anticipated to revitalize and boost the Japanese economy.

The objective of this youth exchange project is to promote deeper mutual understanding among the people of Japan and the United States, enable future leaders of Japan-US exchanges to form networks, and help young people develop wider perspectives to encourage active roles at the global level in the future.

As part of the exchange, American students will travel to various areas in Japan experiencing regional culture, visiting historical sites, learning about cutting-edge technologies, and participating in school exchange and homestay programs to further their understanding of what Japan has to offer. This is a 10-day, fully funded trip.
