All Years Young Buddhist International Cultural Exchange Reunion

For Both Future and Past Participants

Over the years, a number of our Temple youth have been able to participate in a cultural exchange program where young people lived in Japan for a week or more, often staying with host families and sometimes sleeping over in Jodo Shinshu Temples.

Even youth interested in a future session are encouraged to come to learn more. should they be able to take advantage of a future program. And Ministers and Temple leaders who were chaperones are also invited.
