Katie is a young American girl living in present-day Tokyo. One day, as

brother Kenji. Join Katie, Keiko and Kenji as they explore the city and its
surroundings as they learn about cultural diversity and the customs of their
respective countries. Whether eating soba (buckwheat noodles) or

the friends discover just how much their two cultures differ-and how
much they are alike.
