Benefits

Through membership you show support for our sister city and exchange programs, while helping to create meaningful connections across cultures, inspiring young minds, and spreading goodwill around the world. It feels good to be part of something that brings people together—and makes a lasting difference.

Members receive regular communications from the organization, including news about local cultural events, fundraisers, community activities, and invitations to special celebrations.

Members also have the unique opportunity to join an organized travel delegation to our sister city, Matsuyama. These delegations often include elected officials, board members, educators, business professionals, and friends of the sister city.

• The journey includes several days in Matsuyama, featuring official meetings with city leaders, a formal welcome celebration, and visits to cultural landmarks and local shopping districts.

• The adventure continues with travel by bus, train, ferry, or bullet train to explore Japan’s rich diversity—from historic small towns and vibrant cities to serene countryside, shrines, sacred temples, local businesses, renowned shopping destinations, and unforgettable dining experiences.
