The 2026 Okayama Student Exchange Program gave students from Guam the opportunity to travel to Okayama, Japan, where they immersed themselves in Japanese culture while improving their Japanese language skills.
A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful host families for their warm hospitality and generosity. During their stay, the students participated in a variety of meaningful cultural experiences, including sushi making, Wadaiko drumming, wearing a yukata, happi coat designing, playing kendama, practicing shodō (Japanese calligraphy), and many other enriching activities.
Along the way, they formed lasting friendships and gained a deeper appreciation for Japan’s rich culture and traditions.
Enjoy these memorable snapshots from the Okayama Student Exchange Program!
