Ten years ago, the government launched a regional development initiative. Since then, various good examples have emerged throughout Japan, but these examples have not spread widely and have yet to change the declining population trend and the concentration of people in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Therefore, now is a good time when regional communities proactively combine their wisdom, discuss each other, and take action to create “enjoyable” local communities toward the realization of a hopeful and happy society. In this session, we will introduce good examples from around the country through panel discussion to launch the Regional Revitalization 2.0 initiatives for the next 10 years.
Reports
Officials from Toyama Prefecture, winner of the Prime Minister's Award at the 4th Digiden Koshien (Local Government Category), Sendai City, the Fukui MaaS Council, and Toyota City, which were also prize winners, took to the stage to discuss their organizations' cutting-edge efforts and the direction and enthusiasm for future regional revitalization.
The venue was nearly full, and many people were able to hear about efforts in their local areas and future regional revitalization, which helped to promote understanding of regional revitalization and local revitalization.
Even after this program, the government will continue to promote awareness through support for local governments and discussions at various events, etc., in accordance with the "Regional Revitalization 2.0 Basic Plan" approved by the Cabinet on June 13, 2025, with the aim of realizing a sustainable society where everyone can live happily, safely and securely, whether in urban or rural areas, and "fun rural areas" that are chosen by young people and women.
