Consulate Activities

Mr. Brandon Leisure from Hilo High School was one of the five students from the U.S. who were selected to participate in the Invitation Program for Japanese-American High School Students hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Japan program this year. While in Japan from 25 June to 4 July, participants met with the officials from the Ministry, visited various places in Tokyo and Kyoto, experienced homestay, learned Japanese at a language school and experienced a one day visit at a high school. It is expected that the participants will contribute to strengthening the Japan-U.S. relations in future.
