This year the City of Boston and the City of Kyoto, Japan, will celebrate our 60th Anniversary as Sister Cities. Signed in 1959, Kyoto is Boston’s first-ever Sister City.

Register for the event

In Japan, 60 is a significant number, signifying rebirth or kanreki; therefore, the two cities are planning a series of events throughout 2019 to commemorate this milestone. Join us at City Hall on March 26 to kick off a year of activities together while enjoying Japanese culture through traditional food and cultural experiences, including:

  • Ikebana Flower Arranging Demonstration
  • Tea Ceremony Demonstration
  • Incense Demonstration
  • Sushi Making Demonstration
  • Wood Block Print Workshop
  • Origami Workshop

Refreshments and demonstrations kindly provided by local businesses and organizations:
