Hida Takayama International Association (HTIA), founded in
1987, is dedicated to making Takayama a truly internationalized
place; not only a city made more convenient for its visitors
and residents from abroad, but also whose citizens' hearts and
minds are open to new ideas and novel approaches to the world's
problems.
To fulfill its purpose, HTIA sponsors various programs such as
language courses (English, Spanish, and French) for residents,
English Speech Contests (junior & senior high school categories
and adults category), volunteer home stay and guide programs,
the Hida Takayama Global Network program, and so on.
