Japanese Ｖｅｒｓｉｏｎ（日本語版）

  In 1985, Iwamizawa signed a sister-city agreement with the U.S. city of Pocatello, Idaho.  Every summer, roughly ten junior and senior high school students visit Pocatello for two weeks, and a similar group of students from Pocatello travels to Iwamizawa for a homestay exchange.  Additionally, an adult delegation from each city visits the other every five years, expanding the circle of friendship between our two cities.

  A second sister-city agreement was established by the town of Kurisawa with the U.S. city of Canby, Oregon in 1989.  Since that time, a delegation of five junior high school students has visited Canby each year in August.  Due to the merger of the town of Kurisawa with Iwamizawa on March 27, 2006, the sister-city exchange is now administered by the city of Iwamizawa.
