Program Detail
As a joint project with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), CGP, each year, invites a diverse group of 10-15 Japanese Americans who are playing leading roles in such fields as business, public organizations, education, and the arts to Japan.
The goals of this program are to strengthen ties between Japanese-American leaders and their counterparts in Japan as well as to enhance the role of Japanese Americans in advancing US-Japan relations.
During the 1-week stay in Japan, the group exchanges information with Japanese leaders in the government, political, business and non-profit sector fields as well as visits Kyoto to experience traditional Japanese culture. As a part of this program, CGP co-hosts a public symposium with the Japanese American National Museum (Los Angeles, CA) and a local city government (i.e. Osaka, Tokyo, Okinawa, Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Nagoya, Kobe, and Kyoto).
