    The goal of the Sister City Program is to foster positive multicultural interaction and understanding among people here and abroad. In very human terms, it is a people-to-people program. It provides an opportunity, through educational and cultural exchanges, to know and appreciate the people of another country. It is an opportunity to enjoy the richness of culture the world has to offer and to experience the similarities of the world’s people as well as the differences.

    In early 1983, a delegation from Toyokawa, Japan, visited the city of Cupertino to present a gift of 200 cherry trees. John Gatto, Mayor of Cupertino at that time, and Toyokawa Mayor Yoshi Yamamoto, assisted by the city, planted those trees in Cupertino’s Memorial Park. The ceremony commemorated the fifth anniversary of the Cupertino-Toyokawa Sister City program.

    As the cherry trees have grown, the bonds between the cities and their people have also grown. The annual Cupertino Cherry Blossom Festival celebrates the blossoming of the trees and of the many friendships which have grown through the Cupertino-Toyokawa Sister City Program.
