One Day School is an international cultural exchange project centered on food, music, learning, and exploration. This time, it will be held in Nagato City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, where the late Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo was buried. Abe Akie, the widow of the former prime minister recently came to Taiwan to promote the event. In addition to serving as the school’s honorary president, she will also be giving lectures in the capacity of an instructor. FTV reporter Stephany Yang has the story.

Abe Akie, the widow of former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo has returned to Taiwan. She announced that she will serve as the honorary president of One Day School project and will also be a special guest lecturer. In addition to sharing untold stories about Abe Shinzo, she hopes to convey the importance of having dreams and taking that courageous first step. The event will be held from Aug. 1 to 3 in Nagato City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. This location holds deep personal and historical significance, as Nagato was not only Abe Shinzo’s hometown but also a region to which he remained closely connected throughout his life and political career. Mrs. Abe revealed that she will be visiting Taiwan again in September, October and December.

Widow of former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo
This is already my third visit to Taiwan this year, with many more opportunities to come, including in September, October and December. This August, we specifically chose Nagato City for the event not only because it’s the hometown of former Prime Minister Abe, but also because it’s a place I love. I hope our friends from Taiwan can come to appreciate the beauty of both Japan and Taiwan. Beyond the exchange between children, I also hope we can further strengthen the relationship between Japan and Taiwan.

One Day School centers on the themes of food, music, learning, and exploration, with instructors leading a wide range of activities—from the arts and crafts to sleep science and cross-cultural dance. The school was founded by Taiwanese expat Cecilia Chen. She was inspired in 2019 during a trip to Myanmar, where she was deeply moved by the children’s passion for learning.

This year it’s in Nagato City, last year it was in Hsinchu. All 200 children participated for free.

One Day School has been held in both Japan and Taiwan, aiming not only to nurture personal growth but also to foster deeper ties between Taiwan and Japan.
