Supporting University Students with Affordable Dining Options

In an innovative initiative, Campus Support Inc., based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is ensuring that college students in Japan can enjoy affordable meals through their project called the "100-Yen Dining" program. Running from April to July 2026, this project aims to provide economic relief and improve the eating habits of students by offering meals for just 100 yen (approximately one dollar). This program is not only focused on helping students but also on enhancing corporate branding for participating companies.

What is the 100-Yen Dining Project?

The 100-Yen Dining project allows students to purchase meals at an affordable price, thanks to the sponsorship from various companies. This initiative is designed to lessen the financial burden on students while simultaneously allowing businesses to boost their visibility and positive perception within the student community. This strategic partnership can lead to increased awareness and interest in sponsoring companies, making it a win-win situation.

Project Success: April - July 2026

During its implementation phase from April to July 2026, the project reached remarkable numbers across 19 universities and 29 university co-op cafeterias. The program was executed on 42 occasions and successfully provided over 25,270 meals to students throughout the country.
