18 junior high school students and 3 city hall employees from Tsugaru visited Bath, Maine and engaged in cultural exchange experiences from August 10 – 17. The students stayed with host families during the program. The Bath people and the visitors hosted some events together at which the students introduced Japanese culture. Tsugaru (formerly Shariki-village) and Bath have been growing their relationship for many years and they have been sister-cities since 1993. Students from Bath visited Tsugaru in July of 2015.
