1960, Denver added its second sister city. Takayama is nestled deep within the Japanese Alps of Gifu Prefecture with the Sea of Japan to the west.
It may come as a surprise, but our "Mile High City" and our Japanese sister city mirror each other in several ways. Tourism plays a key role in supporting both, there are rivers that flow through the heart of both towns, snow creates nearby skiing fun, and natural hot springs are just a hop, skip and a splash away.
The Denver and Takayama committees continue to grow and expand their cultural exchange. The "Takayama Park" in downtown Denver is a friendly reminder of our close ties with Takayama. It's never too long between the last "sayonara" and the next "howdy".
