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.
