Our family will be hosting 2 teenage female students from Yokohama in PA next month.
What would be an appropriate gift for both the students and/or their families that they could take home safely? We are not sure of the rules regarding travel into Japan and what is and is not allowed.
Thank-you.

Modest gifts that are unique to your town or state are popular:local crafts,T-shirts with English writing or sports, music theme are popular. Food is ok as long as it's not produce or meats - custom rules apply. Be careful not to go too expensive as your guest may feel obligated to repay you with an equalvalued gift - as usual it's the thought that counts. Give your guest the opportunity to cook for you and your family - our quests really seemed to enjoy doing this - from the shopping at the grocery store, preparing then serving the meal.
All the above depends on the age and interests of your guests of course.
Best wishes.
