San Jose JACL member Jordan Tachibana participated in the 2024 Kakehashi Program. Each year, 100 participants are selected to participate in the JACL Kakehashi Program, coordinated by the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) and the Japan International Cooperation Center (JICE), and supported and paid for by the Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Selected participants take a 9-day trip to Japan to see historical and educational sites, experience traditional and cultural activities, and participate in lectures and workshops. Each trip will visit Tokyo and one or two other cities. For more information go https://jacl.org/kakehashi.
