Buckhead, Dec 2, 2021 – Former CNN Headline News anchor Sachi Koto was conferred the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Rosette in recognition of her outstanding contribution to promoting exchange and mutual understanding between Japan and the United States.

Kayuzuki Takeuchi, Consul General of Japan conferred the award on behalf of Japanese Government to Ms. Koto at a formal ceremony at his residence.

“I am humbled and honored to receive this prestigious award. I would like to accept this award in honor of my late father who taught me so much about forgiveness and self respect,” said Ms. Koto during her acceptance speech.
