The Bethlehem-Tondabayashi Sister City Commission

Overview

ようこそ！The Bethlehem-Tondabayashi Sister City Commission strives to provide the citizens of Bethlehem and its surrounding communities with a better understanding and appreciation of Japanese culture. Not only do they hold their annual Sakura Festival every April, but with support from the sister city commission of Tondabayashi in Osaka, Japan, they are also able to provide both Japanese and American high schoolers with an amazing Student Exchange experience abroad!

Please feel free to visit their Japanese Garden of Serenity–located beside the Bethlehem Area Public Library–at any time, all year-round!

**ご注意ください Please be advised: access is not permitted beyond the stone garden/teahouse fence unless granted by the commission. Thank you for helping them maintain their garden's tidiness!
