The Antioch/Chichibu Sister City organization is a volunteer, non-profit organization comprised of interested citizens in both cities. The purpose of the organization is to give citizens of Antioch and Chichibu the opportunity to experience each other's country and culture. The benefits of our program include the making of many friends between the two cities.
Our organization is unusual among other sister city organizations because the visits between the two cities are "home-stay", that is, visitors stay in the homes of host families. We believe this allows visitors to experience life in the visited country more directly than would a business person staying in hotels. In addition, delegations include both students and adults. Usually the delegations are between 10 and 12 in number, varying according to the availability of host families and the interest in the visiting city.
Delegates from Antioch visit Chichibu in the summer of odd-numbered years, and delegates from Chichibu visit Antioch in even-number years. These visits usually occur in the summer, to coincide with summer vacation in Antioch and the Chichibu Festival in Chichibu. Often more want to visit Japan than there are host families to accept them. Please see Information for Prospective Delegates. Contact UsWe would love to hear from you.
