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.
