Discussion of visit to South San Francisco by students from Kishiwada as part of Sister Cities program in
August 2025
A group of students from Kishiwada, Japan (one of the Sister Cities to South San Francisco) will be visiting
South San Francisco in August 2025. Sharon Ranals, City Manager and Ethan Mizzi, former Youth
Commissioner ask current Youth Commission for any input or suggestions on where to visit or activities
to do.
Some suggestions were: visit to SSF Police Department or a hike to Sign Hill, find a translator before arrival
of students.
