A group of ten students and one chaperone from Red Wing hopped on a plane and flew halfway around the world to visit Ikata! But first they're exploring Tokyo!


Ikata homestays

Nine Ikata families were kind enough to open their homes and hearts to our friends from Red Wing. During their stay, the students will experience what daily life is like in rural Japan, explore both Ikata and the greater Shikoku region, and party hearty at several town-planned festivals and events.


Red Wing homestays

Five families from Red Wing will open their homes and hearts to our friends from Ikata. During their stay, the students will experience what daily life is like in Red Wing, experiencing summer life as would a student in Red Wing. At the end of their trip, the students from Ikata will probably believe that Red Wing is no work and ALL play.
