Okinawa's Attractive Investment Environment

As mutual dependence across borders grows, Okinawa Prefecture is working to establish itself as Japan's southern hub for international exchange and promote industry with international perspective, thereby attaining self-sufficient development and contributing to peace and the sustainable development of the Asia Pacific region. In the fields of industry and economy, we are making efforts to create and support new industries through the expansion of the Free Trade Zone (FTZ), intensive promotion of the information and communication industry, and development of international tourism and resort centers.

This guide is an introduction to the Special Free Trade Zone with a simulation of benefits projected under the incentive programs offered. The interviews with top management also give positive prospects in your new business expansion plans in Okinawa. We hope it shows the attractive investment environment of Okinawa today.
