The Boston-Kyoto sister city relationship was established on June 24, 1959.  

Kyoto is Boston’s original sister city, and the Boston-Kyoto relationship is the first such sister-city relationship established in the United States.

A highlight of the 50th Anniversary celebration will be a visit to Boston by Mayor Daisaku Kadokawa in late August of 2009.  A number of major sister-city events will take place at that time.
