Background
The project, running since FY2010, subsidizes half of renovation costs (up to 1.5 million yen) for businesses opening a new restaurant or retail shop in the city. About 80 shops have started using the program.
The city aims to create shops that bring vitality and buzz to the town.
What it means for shops
For participating shops, a city-run event creates a reason to visit. It is also a model for pairing start-up support with a shop-hopping promotion in other areas.
