Our mission is to support and sustain the 58 year relationship between the
Cities of San Jose, California and Okayama, Japan.
This relationship is the third Sister City relationship begun between a city in the USA and a city in another country since the program was begun by
USA President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in 1956. The San Jose/Okayama Sister City relationship began in 1957.
There are, at this date, 522 US cities in 143 countries. It is a model of citizenship and sharing to promote understanding and goodwill between the citizens of the sister cities.
