Gyaru x Gotsu City Collaboration Event

In an exciting initiative, CGO Dotcom, headquartered in Tokyo and led by the energetic Bubly, is partnering with Gotsu City in Shimane Prefecture for a unique event focused on the corporate version of the furusato tax system. Scheduled for July 16, 2026, at SHIBUYA QWS, this gathering aims to demystify local regeneration initiatives and provide a platform for businesses and individuals to engage directly with local government.

Understanding Local Regeneration

The corporate furusato tax system allows businesses to support local municipalities like Gotsu City through tax incentives while contributing to regional development projects. This event is particularly designed for those who have shown interest in local regeneration but felt overwhelmed by the complexities of budgetary constraints and applicable systems. Gyaru-style explanations will make this topic accessible for all participants.

During the event, attendees will hear firsthand insights from Gotsu’s mayor and city officials about the local government's thoughts and strategies. Key projects under consideration and how businesses can get involved will also be highlighted. Moreover, the event features a session for direct consultation with city officials, offering a rare opportunity for engaging with local governance in a casual environment.

Background of Gotsu City

Gotsu is a modest city with a population of approximately 20,000, recognized as a "Creative Special Zone" that attracts talented individuals from all over Japan. The city has been proactive in innovative local development approaches, such as transitioning the traditional Iwami Kagura performing art into the metaverse and integrating a 'gyaru' mindset to foster regional innovations. Their unique strategies and successes were recently celebrated with a ministerial award for their corporate furusato tax initiative.

Despite these accomplishments, many businesses and individuals are still unsure about how to connect with local governments or utilize the corporate furusato tax effectively. CGO Dotcom’s event aims to bridge this gap, providing a one-stop experience for case studies, consultations, and a comprehensive understanding of the system.
