“This was my first time coming to Kibo with our one-year-old, and we had such a great time! There were plenty of activities and performances we were able to enjoy and so many memories we were able to make. We can’t wait to come back next year!”

- Courtney Lee, event attendee

“Joy was palpable in every activity that took place during the day from guests and staff alike. I was blown away by the amazing performances and am thankful I had the opportunity to learn about Japanese culture in such an inclusive and welcoming environment.”
