Livingston, Montana & Naganohara, Japan began their Sister City relationship on October 28, 1991.  Both cities are members of Sister Cities International. The Livingston Sister City program is comprised of a group of volunteers committed to the ongoing relationship with our Sister City, Naganohara, Japan. One of the ways we accomplish this is by an annual shared homestay experience with teenage students from both cities. The Sister City Committee, a 100% volunteer group, is dedicated to improving the community of Livingston through our Sister City relationship with Naganohara, Japan. The value of this program to the participants and the community is numerous including cultural, economic, and educational benefits.
