a pivotal role in his journey to the United States. This summit pays homage to their relationship and the broader connections established between Japan and the United States over the years.
The event aims to foster stronger ties by inviting host families in the San Francisco Bay Area to share their daily lives with guests from Japan. Most attendees are adults over 30 years, along with some middle and high school students. Host families are expected to provide accommodations for four days and three nights while engaging their guests in local culture. Activities may include visits to local attractions, such as Fisherman’s Wharf and Napa Valley, as well as everyday experiences like shopping at local markets. The summit emphasizes personal interaction, with a focus on cultural exchange and community engagement. On the final afternoon, families will participate in the Closing Ceremony at Stanford University, further solidifying the bonds formed during the summit. This event not only highlights the significance of international friendship but also provides an opportunity for meaningful connections that can last a lifetime.
