Nishinomiya, a city located in the Hyogo Prefecture between the cities of Osaka and Kobe, is a sister city to Spokane, WA.WSU College of Education has had a long and beneficial partnership with the Nishinomiya Board of Education and its schools. For 27 years, faculty, staff, and students have visited, lived, done research, and lectured in the city of Nishinomiya.
