Consulate Activities

　　　On November 28, Consul General and Mrs. Misawa visited Shidler College of Business at the University of Hawaii at Manoa to attend a presentation by students who participated in this year’s Kakehashi Project, a youth exchange program between Japan and the United States. The Kakehashi Project aims to promote mutual understanding between the people of Japan and the North American region, and build a basis for future friendship and cooperation. Twenty-three students were selected to visit Tokyo and Hokkaido in November, and had the opportunity to study economics and finance by visiting local government offices, regional businesses, and participating in a variety of Japanese cultural experiences. Participants are expected to spread information on Japanese diplomatic policy and the many wonderful attractions of Japan.
