Support the "home town" in the heart and offer reward items. I asked the Mayor about how my town tax payment in Minamioguni-machi is utilized for town development.

■ How to use money for my home tax payment

I heard about the story that Takahashi mayor of Takahashi had been using tax for "to improve the happiness of townspeople" a while ago.

So, introduce one example of what kind of thing actually is used!

★ Half price for school lunches!
There are 3 elementary schools and 1 junior high school in Minamioguni.

Targeting parents of children and students attending schools in the town, we provide a portion of the donation for oldness and tax payments to support school lunch expenses for the purpose of reducing the financial burden. We are expanding childcare support to create an environment in which children can grow up healthy and to create an area where it is easy to raise children.

★ Use tablet devices for elementary and junior high school classes
A portion of the donations received from hometown tax payments is used to utilize ICT (tablet terminals).

Minamioguni-machi has a major goal of "creating learning and school suitable for the 21 century" and is working on the use of ICT in elementary and junior high school classes in order to cultivate students' solid academic skills and improve their learning motivation. The Utilizing ICT has led to the realization of lessons that are easy to understand and deepen.

★ Kiyora Juku
Currently there is no cram school in Minamioguni-machi, so we have two seminars a week for elementary and junior high school students in town.

Learning mainly about writing lessons that can not be learned in school lessons, usually by writing compositions for publication in the local reader's "Hiroba of Readers" and teaching English to foreign residents living in Minami small country. I am playing a role as a place to teach Japanese language as a place to teach and teach the enjoyment of learning.

In addition, as a subsidy project for the development of processing plants and processing products for making agricultural products as special products, and opening of restaurants, Nanosukogo Town conducts two projects.

★ Dream Challenge Promotion Project subsidy

★ Subsidy for manufacturing "the most beautiful village in Japan"

Here are the businesses and products that were created using these subsidies!

★ Assistance for grassland maintenance projects by grazing sheep
This project aims to reduce the burden of grassland maintenance activities (land cutting etc.), which has been a burden on the townspeople due to labor shortages and aging.

In the future, we plan to use the purchased sheep to create jobs such as the production of wool and to install facilities such as the Fureai Zoo.

★ Aso pickle
Received 29 Excellent New Product "Excellence Award"! ! Aso Geopark brand certified product!

Pickles that represent Aso's grassland in each season, such as open-air burning, grazing scenery and snow-covered scenery that are carried out every year to inherit the Aso grassland.

★ Business to start farmer stay
In FY30, it will be used to assist those who work on projects for the start of farmer lodging.

We have maintained a general farmer's house that accepts children who came to Minamioguni Town on school excursions.

★ New opening in the first year of Reiwa!
Only Minamioguni Town! Cafe "One Caffe" with dog run!

In the center of the Kurokawa Onsen area, "cafeHoKaRi" is a popular cafe that is popular not only for tourists but also for locals!

It is also used for the expenses for the younger generation to set up a processing plant to produce specialty agricultural products.
