Showa Yakka High School students visited Kubasaki to participate in an exchange program during which they shadowed students for a day while experiencing their culture and practiced speaking Japanese and English. “It has been a unique experience for me today, but I must admit that there are more similarities than differences,” said a 12th grade student from Showa Yakka. “We all interact similarly. I imagined it to be much different than ours, but the largest difference here is that everything is taught in English.” In mid-November the Kubasaki students will visit Showa Yakka high school to complete the exchange program.
