Miyazaki City Announces Launch of Furusato Tax Sales Machine at Haneda Airport

Miyazaki City Launches Furusato Tax Vending Machine at Haneda Airport

In an exciting development for travelers and business persons alike, Miyazaki City, under the leadership of Mayor Tomonori Kiyoyama, has officially announced its participation as the inaugural municipality for the new Furusato Tax vending machine. This innovative initiative, established by Japan Airport Terminal Co., Ltd., will be launched at Haneda Airport's Terminal 1 on November 28, 2025.

Key Features of the Initiative

The Furusato Tax vending machine offers a unique and convenient way for passengers at Haneda Airport to engage with local specialties from Miyazaki City. Here’s how it works:

- New Gateway to Miyazaki’s Cuisine: As the first service of its kind at Haneda Airport, the vending machine serves as a platform to showcase Miyazaki’s rich culinary heritage, making it accessible to travelers traveling both domestically and internationally.

- Immediate Product Pickup: After completing the tax donation process via user-friendly touchscreen controls — which takes as little as two minutes — beneficiaries can collect their chosen local goods right at the adjacent Haneda Fresh Market. This allows travelers to take home unique souvenirs that highlight the flavors of Miyazaki.

- Streamlined Process: By streamlining the information entry process, including the use of driver's license scanning technology, the requirement for manual input is greatly reduced. This means that even in the bustle before a flight, travelers can easily and quickly complete their donations.

Through this initiative, Miyazaki City aims not only to promote its rich cultural heritage and delicacies but also to broaden awareness of its renowned local products among a wider audience.

Installation Details

- Launch Date: Beginning on November 28, 2025, this service will remain available for the foreseeable future.
- Location: Positioned in front of the Haneda Fresh Market on the second floor of Terminal 1 at Haneda Airport.
- Operating Hours: The vending machine will follow the business hours of the Haneda Fresh Market.
- Featured Products: Offerings will include popular items such as Miyazaki beef, eel, and various seasonings.

This initiative is viewed as a significant step forward in promoting Miyazaki's local economy and providing travelers with a taste of the region's renowned agricultural bounty. By integrating modern technology with traditional goods, Miyazaki City is stepping onto the global stage in an innovative and effective way.
