Under a plan called “Just One More Night,” financial support will be offered to local industries on select islands to promote traditional culture and provide discounts for local goods. Islands hoping to transform into destinations for corporate retreats or student tours will also be able to tap into the new fund.
This money comes in addition to the projected ¥71.2 billion spending next fiscal year to shore up defense surveillance of all outer islands, nearly a threefold increase on fiscal 2016. In addition, the Japan Coast Guard will receive an extra ¥22.2 billion to strengthen its presence in and around the smaller islands.
