A delegation from the Japanese city of Shibetsu is being welcomed in Goulburn today as part of the growing sister relationship between the two.
Â
The visit marks 20 years since a formal connection was made by the then Goulburn city council mayor, Margaret O'Neill.
Â
Shibetsu delegation members are spending three days here and will be treated to a number of mayoral receptions and events.
Â
These include a dedication ceremony of the traditional Japanese garden- the Shibetsu Garden- being built in Victoria Park.
Â
Mayor, Bob Kirk says he has been looking forward to the visit as an opportunity to strengthen cultural, social and economic connections between the two regions.
