“Furusato Now,” an on-site payment hometown tax donation service, is now available at golf courses in Nagano City. The service allows donation procedures and donation-gift handover to be completed on site, with donation proceeds allocated to Nagano City projects.
アステナホールディングス group company アステナミネルヴァ announced that it will launch its on-site payment hometown tax donation service “Furusato Now” in Nagano City from 6 October 2026. Golf courses in Nagano City are listed as participating facilities.
“Furusato Now” allows users to make donations from an on-site tablet device or their smartphone and receive their donation gifts on the spot. No membership registration is required, and the service can be used by entering only the information needed for the donation, allowing the donation to be completed during waiting time while visiting the facility.
Multiple Nagano City projects are listed as potential uses of the donation proceeds. These include the preservation and improvement of the Matsushiro Castle ruins, redevelopment of the zoo, conservation of nature and culture, continuation of the Olympic legacy, and childcare support, with the aim of creating and utilizing local financial resources.
The participating company is アステナミネルヴァ, a subsidiary of アステナホールディングス, and is based in Suzu, Ishikawa Prefecture. The service is positioned as an initiative that will contribute to the use of Nagano City's financial resources and enhance the appeal of the local area.
