Student Visits to the Consulate-General of Japan in Denver (August 6 and 18, 2026)

On August 6 and 18, 2026, the Consulate-General of Japan in Denver was visited by students from Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture (Denver’s sister city) and Nakamura Junior High School in Koto-ku, Tokyo, respectively.

During these visits, Consul-General Okajima welcomed the students and explained the functions of a consulate-general as well as the mission and activities of the Denver office in the Rocky Mountain region. The students were able to ask a variety of questions, including about the broader responsibilities of Japanese diplomatic missions across the United States, the kinds of people who work at a consulate, and how Consul-General Okajima came to pursue his career.

We hope that these visits to Colorado help to inspire the students, and that they continue to grow their interest in international exchange.
