What an amazing time in Japan for our Nisei Week Foundation President, Helen Ota, and the 2025 Nisei Week Court!🪭 Some highlights include a visit to Nagoya City Hall with Mayor Ichiro Hirosawa and Deputy Mayor Matsuo, participating in the 2025 Nagoya Festival and sightseeing throughout the city with our amazing hosts, the City of Nagoya and Pyua02. It was such an incredible experience to travel with LANSCA and LTBA and see all that Nagoya has to offer.

We look forward to welcoming them to our Nisei Week Japanese Festival in 2026 ❤️
