Today we're excited to welcome students from our sister city, Suzuka, Japan, to Bellefontaine!

The day began in Council Chambers, where the students shared a bit of Japanese culture with us before heading out to experience ours. Now they're exploring Bellefontaine and seeing what makes our community so special.

If you see our guests around town today, take a moment to say hello and give them a warm Bellefontaine welcome. We hope they enjoy their visit and create lasting memories during their time here!

Four people are standing in the back row and four are seated in the front row behind a wooden table. Several individuals wear glasses.

The room has wood-paneled furnishings and office-style chairs, and the image is evenly lit indoors.

One person wears a dark business suit with a blue dress shirt, while the other wears a maroon polo shirt with a heart-shaped exchange program logo and a long gray skirt. The open folder displays English and Japanese versions of a letter, with the Suzuki City Government heading visible at the top of both pages.
