Established in 1991

The Eureka-Kamisu Sister City Project is here to encourage arts, cultural, and economic ties between Eureka, and its sister city Kamisu, Japan.

A sister city program is a civic relationship between two cities in different countries. They are meant to promote cultural exchange, economic cooperation, and friendship between the two cities. Sister city relationships are established through agreements between the local governments of the two cities, and often involve exchanges of cultural groups, students, and business delegations. The goal is to foster mutual understanding and respect, and to create opportunities for people from different cultures to learn from each other. Sister city programs are an important tool for promoting international goodwill and cooperation, and are an effective way for cities to build bridges across borders.

First established in 1991, the project has changed much over the years. Most recently Eureka representatives worked with the Ink People Center for the Arts to restore the projects non-profit status and enlisted they guidance in rebuild the relationship after nearly 15 years of little to no communications between the cities.
