The Concord Ambassadors is the all-volunteer organization that maintains the sister city relationship between Kitakami, Japan and Concord, California.

 
 
We're dedicated to promoting mutual exchanges in the fields of education, culture, social affairs and economics. We encourage personal and business relationships between individuals and groups.  

For nearly 50 years there has been a steady flow of visitors between the two cities enjoying the opportunity for "home stay" visits and cultural exchange.
