Semboku City is a national strategic special zone that allows for deregulation, and has abundant tourism resources such as lakes, hot springs, and ski resorts. It also has good access to Tokyo, so it is hoped that the city will attract international schools and create jobs. We aim to create new business opportunities and create new jobs.
As part of this initiative, we have launched a service called "TAKKO MaaS" that allows foreigners working at international schools who are not familiar with the Japanese language to travel around the city without having to worry about the language barrier. " will be conducting a demonstration run.
