     Frankly speaking, before coming up to Campbelltwon, most of our students were worried how to spend
their daily life with host families. However, their worries have disapeared like the snow of the spring in Tokyo
that melts away quickly. And now, they are enjoying Australian culture and a memorable experience.

    Your good support and excellent hospitality to our youth of Koshigaya is commendable. I would like to

    Campbelltown and Koshigaya have had a long relationship extending over twenty years and during the
years we have seen the tremendous growth in the relations between our two great cities.
Now leading up to 25 years of friend in 2009, it is proof to the strong bonds of friendship that shared with
the greater communities of Koshigaya and Campbelltwon.
