Urakawa Town Relocation Experiment Subsidy
One of Japan's most generous relocation-experiment subsidies — up to ¥150,000 for stays of 31+ nights.
For digital workers looking to run a deep relocation experiment, Urakawa Town in Hokkaido's Hidaka subprefecture offers one of the most generous subsidy programs in Japan. The lodging subsidy scales with how many consecutive nights you stay, and there's a separate subsidy toward car-rental costs. Everyone who receives the subsidy must stay at least 2 nights and sit down with a town-hall staff member for an in-depth interview and survey, which the town uses to refine its own population policy.
Highlights

- Car-rental subsidy up to ¥5,000/day, capped at 21 days
- One of the most generous relocation-experiment subsidies in Japan
