Michigan-Shiga Sister State Program

Michigan-Shiga Sister State Program The mission of the Michigan Shiga Sister State Board is to promote increased respect and friendship between Michigan and Shiga.

Established in 1968, the Michigan-Shiga partnership is the oldest and most comprehensive sister state relationship between the United States and Japan. Residents of Michigan and Shiga continue to maintain close ties through exchanges involving students, teachers, community members and government officials.

Michigan Shiga Kenjin Kai is back after more than two years!

Please join us, the Shiga Kenjin Kai, a social group of people with connections with Shiga, Japan.
Our goal is to expand the network of people who share a love for Shiga.

On the day of the event, we will meet at a restaurant to enjoy a meal (everyone orders their own) and get to know each other. Even if you don't have a direct connection to Shiga but are just curious, or if you aren't a member of the Shiga Kenjin Kai, you are more than welcome to join us!

If you plan to attend, please fill out the RSVP form so we have a rough headcount for the restaurant by September 21st.
