Payton's Journey to Japan

Current Location

Osaka, Japan

Studying at Kwansei Gakuin University in Japan has broadened my global perspective, deepened my cultural understanding, and strengthened my passion for international adaptation and service for others.

The streets near my house in Takarazuka came alive during the Danjiri Festival, I enjoyed the Yodogawa Festival and I bought a beautiful kimono that I will wear for my graduation and future festivals.

Wearing a kimono in Japan lets me connect to its traditions. Japanese people enjoy seeing foreigners in kimono because it shows respect for their culture and brings curiosity and shared joy.
