Among the three major cities, business expansion into Aichi costs significantly less.

A ichi prefecture, which has the geographical advantage of being in the center of Japan and other advantages including excellent transport infrastructure, is an industrial capital and manufacturing center that leads the world economy. We have seen considerable progress in A ichi-based projects, which are expected to shape the future of Japan, such as the fuel-cell vehicle “M IRAI” project and Japan’s f irst domestically produced passenger jet “ MRJ” project. With a large non-Japanese population, A ichi prefecture strives to make itself more livable for all residents. We are looking forward to supporting your investments in A ichi, the industrial capital of Japan.
