During the year-end and New Year's holidays, we had a high school exchange student from Taiwan staying at our house.

Happy New Year 2024! 🐉
We wish you all the best for the upcoming year!! 🥰

We received a very kind review, as well as a Christmas card, from the family in Walla Walla.
As I read the review, I was reliving each moment we spent together, like a time travel!
I am sharing it with you here, hoping that you will be the next ones to experience the Tambasasayama Magic! 💓

26 exchange students from Kobe University came to visit Tamba Sasayama!

Have you seen Japanese fans cleaning up the soccer stadium?
Or the athletes cleaning up their locker room after their use?

You wonder where that custom comes from???

Well, the day came that the delegation is returning home after a 12-day stay in Japan.

The delegation from Walla Walla City came to Tamba Sasayama will soon return home after a 12-day stay.

That's right! There were dinosaurs in the Tamba area!

On the second day of the visit of a delegation from our sister city in the U.S., Walla Walla, WA, we had the opportunity to experience harvesting black edamame beans, which are in season now.

From October 12 to 23, a delegation from Walla Walla, Washington, USA, came to visit Japan!
