MARQUETTE, Mich. (WZMQ) – For 45 years the city of Marquette and the Japanese city of Higashiomi have had a very special relationship. It was 1979 when a local resident started the Marquette Sister Cities Program and began a cultural exchange that that has endured the test of time. The delegation, in town until August sixth, has been touring Marquette, meeting new friends, and enjoying summer in the up. Nine Japanese delegates made the trip this year, including the mayor of Higashiomi, Masakiyo Ogura.

“I went there yesterday. to the county court. Yes, it will be very helpful for our understanding the governance of the people.” Said Mayor Ogura.

Thursday’s celebration began with a social hour, followed by remarks by the Japanese delegation as well as local dignitaries. Marquette mayor Sally Davis, who has been personally involved with the partnership, and who traveled to Higashiomi last year, believes we can learn a lot from each other.

“Oh, this is very important for peace, and for understanding of different cultures, and we have long term friendships.” Said Davis, “This has been going on for 45 years between Marquette and Higashiomi.”

The highlight of the evening was the gift exchange where Mayor Davis presented Mayor Ogura with artwork from a local artist and Mayor Ogura presented Mayor Davis with a hand carved wooded tray, marking the occasion.

The remainder of the visit will include a tour of Presque Isle, The Lower Harbor Lighthouse and a hike up Sugarloaf Mountain.
