Mt. Fuji, the historic Skywalk, and Tokyo were just some of the amazing places the Explorers visited during their two weeks in Japan. Thanks to a partnership with Kalamazoo’s Numazu Sister City delegation, four Explorers experienced the food, culture, and host family life of Japan.

This year’s Girls Can! Magazine will feature the stories from these Explorers in addition to stories on Explorer extended study in Washington DC, South Africa, and more! Look for updates on this new edition!
