description The article is devoted to the problems of the formation and development of people’s diplomacy in Soviet-Japanese relations in the second half of the 20th century. The work reconstructs the historical picture of the creation of the Irkutsk branch of the USSR – Japan Society and the participation of this public organization in the development of relations between the two countries. The Irkutsk branch was one of the very first and most active in the structure of the USSR – Japan All Union Society. The organization introduced Japanese culture to Irkutsk residents, helped to establish contacts between the public of the two countries, was responsible for receiving Japanese tourist groups and delegations, organized visits, negotiations, festivals, trade and industrial exhibitions, and other events. The work shows the development of various areas of Soviet-Japanese regional cooperation, primarily with Ishikawa Prefecture, at the level of and through public organizations in the 1960s–1980s. Friendship and cooperation of Irkutsk with the city of Kanazawa has become an important part of the everyday life of the inhabitants of the Irkutsk region. The article was written on the basis of documents from the collection of the State Archives of the Contemporary History of the Irkutsk Region and materials from periodicals.
