Founded in 2022 with a donation from The Toshizo Watanabe Foundation, the program sends about 20 Japanese high school students (plus teachers) to the United States. Past trips centred on Los Angeles and Southern California, with visits to the Consulate General of Japan, Caltech, UCLA, Japan House, the Japanese American National Museum, local high schools and weekend homestays. Participants present what they learned at their own schools afterwards.
