The Nichi Bei Foundation presents the fifth Nikkei Angel Island Pilgrimage, to the former Angel Island Immigration Station where up to 85,000 persons of Japanese descent entered through from 1910 to 1940. Over the first four pilgrimages, more than 1,700 people from across the country and around the world converged upon the historic site.

This year, buses will leave from Sacramento and San Jose’s Japantown, and attendees can depart from two ports: Tiburon, Calif. and the newly-arranged Golden Gate Ferry at the San Francisco Ferry Building. Both bus packages will include Japanese bento lunches and water, ferry and Immigration Station Museum admission and the program.

Bentos will be optional to all other attendees by pre-order. Shuttles from Ayala Cove to the Immigration Station are optional but recommended for seniors and small children.

The Sacramento bus will depart at 7 a.m. from the Tenrikyo High Sacramento Church, 2216 6th St. (at W Street) next to Southside Park.

The San Jose Japantown bus will depart at 7:30 a.m. from the Issei Memorial Building (San Jose JACL), 565 North Fifth St., in San Jose.
