SatoFuru Launches Emergency Donation Site for Typhoon Victims

In response to the devastating impact of the typhoon that struck in October 2025, SatoFuru, a prominent hometown tax portal operated by SatoFuru Inc. in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, has opened an emergency donation website. This initiative aims to assist the affected communities and facilitate the flow of donations to those in need.

SatoFuru has expressed heartfelt condolences to all victims of the disaster and is committed to contributing to the recovery efforts. The newly established website allows donations starting from 1,000 yen to be directed to selected municipalities, providing individuals with the flexibility to give according to their means.

One unique aspect of this initiative is that the donation service does not impose any costs on the affected municipalities. Instead, SatoFuru has taken on the responsibility of covering transaction fees, ensuring that the full amount of contributions reaches the local governments directly. This transparency and commitment to providing our real support, without any hidden deductions, is what makes this effort vital to the recovery process.

The impact of Typhoon 22 and 23 was significant, particularly in areas such as Hachijo Island, where landslides and numerous building damages have been reported. As of October 15th, residents are still facing issues such as prolonged water outages and power cuts, which have dramatically affected daily life, including school closures for preschools and elementary and junior high schools.

To encourage individuals to donate and support the recovery of the affected areas, the emergency donation site is now actively accepting contributions. SatoFuru is also currently facilitating proxy donations from Miyada Town in Nagano Prefecture to Hachijo Town in Tokyo, thereby assisting in the fundraising efforts.

This initiative illustrates SatoFuru's ongoing commitment to supporting municipalities across Japan that have been hit by disasters. The company's mission is to foster community revitalization through its hometown tax initiative, which allows citizens to contribute to local projects while receiving unique local products and services in return.

Through this vital support mechanism, SatoFuru aims to not only assist in immediate recovery efforts but also promote long-term resilience in affected communities. The company encourages everyone who wishes to support disaster-stricken communities to participate in this donation effort.
