Letter of Appreciation Received from the Commandant, Kure District, Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force

On November 7, 2025, we were honored to receive a Letter of Appreciation from the Commandant of the Kure District, Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, in recognition of our activities as President of the “JS Ise” and “JS Chihaya” Support Associations, as well as our contributions to community exchange programs as President of the Friends of the Japan Self-Defense Force Band Association.

This honor reflects the high regard for our longstanding efforts to promote exchange activities that strengthen ties between the Japan Self-Defense Forces and the local community.

We will continue to work toward fostering a deeper public understanding of the Japan Self-Defense Forces and contributing to the development of the local community through these ongoing initiatives.
