Japantown Task Force

The longest day of the year and the official start of summer was on June 20. Of course, in San Francisco, that means long days of summer fog with the exception of Japantown where you can find the sun shining and warmer temperatures! Don’t miss the final days of Customer Appreciation Month and your chance to win the Grand Prize of $5,000, details below. This summer, learn all about the Bon Festival at specialty workshops conducted at the National Japanese American Historical Society.

6月20日は一年でもっとも昼が長く、夏が本格的に始まりました。もちろんサンフランシスコでは夏の間はよく霧が発生しますが、ジャパンタウンには太陽が照りつけ暖かく夏の天気を楽しむことができます!そんなジャパンタウンでは最優秀賞5,000ドルが当たるお客様感謝月間が開催中!まもなく終了となります。お見逃しなく!
