Visited Foster City

A visit tour to Foster City, a Sister City and Friendship City, was held, organized by the Inagi City Sister City Friendship Exchange Association, and we visited Foster City, our overseas Sister City.
A total of 11 participants, including the Mayor of Inagi City and the President of the Inagi City Sister City Friendship Association, attended.
On the first day, we visited an elementary school and conducted a school tour. We were given headphones for simultaneous interpretation, and the principal and elementary school students guided us around the school.
Next, we headed to the lagoon in the city center and took a boat for a city tour.
In the evening, a welcome party was held. Mayor John Fluhman of Foster City, along with the new president of the Foster City Sister City Association, David Saito and his wife, as well as many others including the Consul General of San Francisco, Mr. Noguchi and his wife, welcomed the visit of the citizens of Inagi City.

On the second day, an exchange meeting with the citizens of Foster City was held. First, the children introduced Foster City and shared their experiences at their respective schools.
Next, we had a gift exchange. We received a custom street sign from Mayor Flumin.
During lunchtime, we interacted while enjoying handmade sliced steak sandwiches and salads prepared by members of the Foster City Rotary Club.
Finally, there was a performance by the children's orchestra, which was very exciting.
At the end, everyone saw off the bus and we dispersed.

In October of last year, citizens of Foster City visited Inagi City, and this time, citizens of Inagi City visited Foster City, marking the beginning of mutual citizen exchanges. We hope to connect this to exchanges between the children of both cities in the future.
