Shinzen Participants

Here is a picture of the Shinzen Goodwill Sister-City Exchange between San Francisco and Osaka. A group from the J-Leagues went to Japan and stayed with a Japanese family for 10 days through the Shinzen program.

Programs like these help the younger generations gain exposure to their culture.

"I didn’t have a lot of chances to meet Japanese people. I grew an interest in the culture and my roots, and I spent my last two years in Japan. I would have a completely different life if I didn’t play basketball." -Eric Kobuchi
