Emergency Support for Kumamoto Earthquake Victims

In the wake of the significant devastation caused by the Kumamoto earthquake of Reiwa 8, we extend our heartfelt sympathies to those affected. To provide urgent assistance, the Furuhonavi platform, managed by Aimo Mobile Co., Ltd, has initiated a disaster support campaign that began on July 29. This program enables contributions to eight municipalities, starting with Ukicity in Kumamoto Prefecture and several others.

The platform, known for its hometown tax donation services, strives to harness its resources to support the affected regions. As part of this commitment, the following municipalities are newly accepting assistance through the donation system:

• - Ukicity, Kumamoto Prefecture (Immediate donations available)
• - Yatsushiro City, Kumamoto Prefecture (via Izumisano City, Osaka)
• - Yatsushiro City, Kumamoto Prefecture (via Shijonawate City, Osaka)

How to Contribute

Furunavi has established an emergency donation section on its website where individuals can make contributions through the hometown tax donation system. All funds donated are directed entirely to the affected municipalities, and you will receive a donation receipt from the municipality where you contributed.

Important Notices

Please note that the delivery of donation receipts may be delayed compared to standard times due to the circumstances. Moreover, there are no gifts or perks offered for these donations in light of the urgent need for assistance.

The power of collective effort is essential in times of crisis—spreading awareness about this initiative can lead to greater support. We call upon everyone from across the nation to consider contributing to this vital campaign.

• - Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture
