Forest Grove and Nyuzen, Japan
Sister Cities Forest Grove Oregon & Nyuzen, Japan
- Our sister city Nyuzen, Toyama Prefecture, Japan. Pronounced new-zen.
- Since 1988
Forest Grove has been a sister city to Nyuzen, Japan since 1988.
Where it is
Between the North Alps and the Sea of Japan.
What started as an exchange of ideas between two businesses half a world apart in 1988 – Tektronix/Forest Grove and NEC/Nyuzen, Japan – continues to thrive as a cultural and civic Sister Cities relationship.
Northwest of Tokyo, between the North Alps and the Sea of Japan.
The Sister Cities Committee of Forest Grove was founded in 1988 to bring about understanding and a sense of mutual interest and purpose among the peoples of Forest Grove and similar cities of foreign nations through the exchange of people, ideas, and things. In this way, we hope to contribute to world peace and international cooperation. The Committee is comprised of volunteers from the business community, students, educators, homemakers, and public servants.
The Sister Cities Committee of Forest Grove continues to build a cultural bridge as it welcomes a student delegation annually and an adult delegation every other year. Many of these experiences continue to grow the future of global understanding and our continued friendship with our Sister City.
