What's I-Pal

I-PAL Kagawa is a friendly nickname of the facility formally known as the "Kagawa International Exchange Center," since its opening.

The name was formed from:

"Ai" (I) (which means "love" in Japanese, stands for the first letters of the words "International exchange" and "Information", and means "I" in English.); "Pal" (meaning friend or companion); and "Kagawa" (the name of the prefecture where it is located.)

This facility was created as a base for people who are involved in international exchange, a center for information sharing between friends and associates, a spot for making new friends, and a gathering place for people active in promoting international relations. The acronym, "IPAL" projects the image of a place where people can come together, and expand global mutual understanding and friendship through international exchange, conveying its vision of spreading love in the world through international exchange and cooperation.
