Hirose Dinner
Hirose DinnerOur hosts of Shimane prefecture were gracious to us during our entire stay in Hirose and the surrounding area. On July 11th we visited two of the local schools then visited the Adachi Art Museum. Afterwards, they hosted a cultural exchange party for the NCTA group, with our host families, local teachers and staff, and community members participating in the dinner.
