“Overcoming the barrier of distance, people, cultures, and ideas interact” “Global turns platform (G TURNS)” is a project that shares local charm from Japan with the world via Silicon Valley. The online talk event, which has been well received as a place to connect the world and Japan in real life, welcomed its third session on Friday, April 21.
