Initiatives to promote multicultural coexistence

In accordance with the “Iga City Multicultural Coexistence Promotion Plan (Phase 1: 2023–2026),” it is promoting initiatives aimed at creating a community where foreign residents are not placed at a social disadvantage, can build relationships with Japanese residents on an equal footing, and participate together in community development, so that everyone can feel that Iga City is a comfortable place to live.
Beyond our business activities, we will continue to contribute to the development of Iga City as a community where everyone respects each other’s individuality and can live with peace of mind, by strengthening our collaboration with the local community.
