Gotemba, Japan

Our first sister city was Gotemba, Japan in 1987. Gotemba is located 60 miles southwest of Tokyo and is known as the eastern entrance to Mt. Fuji. Located at the center of Izu-Hakone-Fuji National Park, recreation facilities exist for golfing, skating, hiking, climbing and camping. Similarities include the location of Gotemba at the foot of Mt. Fuji, many high tech industries and the fact that both cities are considered the horseradish capitals for their respective regions. The population is 80,000 and the city covers an area of 77 square miles.
