Introduction of sister city Foster City (United States)

Foster City, USA, which signed a sister city affiliation in July 2021, was born in 1971, the same year as Inagi City.
A beautiful waterfront planned city with a lagoon (canal) that can take in seawater from the San Francisco Bay and control the water level, it has been redeveloped as a bedroom town in San Francisco.

There are many stylish houses on the waterfront.

about 30,000 people

area

51.4 square kilometers

It was developed as a beautiful waterfront city by taking advantage of nature and devising the waterfront. It is a quiet residential area with no busy streets or downtown.
Wetlands have been used well to improve lakes and waterways, houses along the lagoon have docks, and some even own their own Duffy boats. It is a suburban new town that coexists with the waterside, such as building a dock for small boats in shopping facilities.
The waterway is cut off from the San Francisco Bay, and the sewage is discharged to the seabed 1.5 kilometers from the coastline to protect the environment.

Old buildings have been redeveloped and transformed into new towns. The city is also passionate about sports and education, with many baseball and soccer fields in the city's parks.

It is a safe city that has been selected as one of the top 8 in the United States, and with a racial composition of 45% Asians, it has a good image of Japan.
