Hanamaki City designated Ame Kaze Taiyo,Inc. as a specified dual-location residence support corporation and will implement a project promoting dual-location residence from a base in Hanamaki City through a four-party consortium comprising the city and private- and public-sector partners.
Hanamaki City designated Ame Kaze Taiyo,Inc. as a specified dual-location residence support corporation and announced plans to support projects promoting dual-location residence by leveraging the related population in the area, as well as projects supporting residence and settlement. The designation was also selected under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism’s Leading Dual-Location Residence Project Implementation Program.
The project will be led by the Hanamaki Dual-Location Residence Promotion Consortium, comprising Ame Kaze Taiyo,Inc., Hanamaki City, 株式会社Pサポ東北 and East Japan Railway Company’s Morioka Business Headquarters. The consortium aims to create a model case that can be rolled out in other regions, with a view to enabling the related population, including dual-location residents in Hanamaki City, to play an active role.
HANAMAKI BASE, the project’s core facility, opened in February 2026 as a hub for creating a related population. It includes offices, coworking space, accommodation and a community lounge, and the company’s head office is also located in the facility. Specific initiatives are currently being prepared and are scheduled to be announced at a later date.
