A youth delegation from Kagoshima City, Japan, led by the chief of Kagoshima's Taniyama Urban Management Division, visited Changsha City from October 23 to 28, to promote friendly exchanges. In accordance with an agreement on friendly exchanges between Changsha City and Kagoshima City, the Foreign Affairs Office of the Changsha Municipal People's Government invited the delegation to Changsha.

代表团一行九人先后到访长沙规划展示馆、长沙生态动物园、岳麓书院、橘子洲景区、湖南美术馆和湖南博物院等地，美丽、友好的长沙和长沙人民给大家留下了深刻印象。

The delegation also visited the Changsha Foreign Languages School for friendly exchanges. During the visit, the delegation immersed themselves in the school's featured Japanese courses, and participated in several cultural exchange activities such as taekwondo, calligraphy, and paper cutting.

代表团一行前往长沙外国语学校进行了友好交流。在校访问期间，代表团沉浸式体验了长外日语特色课程，并参与跆拳道、书法、剪纸等多场文化交流活动。

In addition, eight Japanese students from the delegation stayed with eight host families of the Changsha Foreign Languages School, learning about and experiencing traditional Chinese family culture.
