Shibuya City and Municipality of Uskudar, Istanbul, Republic of Turkey, have signed "Friendship Alliance Agreement."
Both municipalities, sharing the same wish, promoting their friendships, and now aiming for both citizens
to have continuing cultural exchanges, have signed this agreement on the 5th of September, 2005.
Shibuya City and the Republic of Turkey has a long history of relationship.
In 1937, a school for Turkish children was established in Oyamacho, Shibuya. On the
same site, with the support from the Republic of Turkey, Tokyo Camii, the
largest Islamic mosque in Japan of its kind, stands and is enjoyed by its community.
Also in 1978, the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey moved to Shibuya, Jingumae. The
relationship with Shibuya City has continued to grow and expand. These have led to the
signing of Friendship Alliance Agreement
