We at SIFA assist the Shinagawa Ward with an "International Exchange Fair" that
displays photo panels featuring our international exchange activities. The fair
is a part of a summer festival called "Oi Festa" that is held every year with
help from the embassies of the countries of our sister and friendship cities, as
well as embassies of other countries located in the ward. The fair provides
visitors a unique international environment and cultural exchanges not only with
foreign people living in the ward, but also with those living outside the ward.
Participation in Community
Festivals in Shinagawa Ward
In order to promote internationalization in the ward community, we participate
in local festivals held in the ward. We exhibit photo panels that feature
international exchange activities to encourage friendships between the residents
and foreign people living in the ward, as well as those living outside the ward.
Visitor Information Centers for
International Exchanges
We established information centers that contain material in several languages,
which identifies the locations of sister and friendship cities, along with
embassies and consulates in the ward. The residents of the ward can utilize the
information material to establish friendships with foreign people living in the
ward.
