Green Band Association

July 31, 2026

We can announce the next Green Band is coming from Gifu. It is a landlocked prefecture located in the Chūbu region of central Honshu, Japan. It is known for its mountainous terrain, the historic Shirakawa-go village, and the Nagara River.

We are expecting as many as 130-150 students. Gifu has come twice before in 2016-2017 and 2022-2023.

The final homestay schedule has not been completed. As soon as it’s available, we will post it on this website. There will be 2 nights of hosting the students on December 30th & January 1st.  The day to spend with the students is December 31st.
