Furunavi Launches Disaster Relief Initiative for Tottori Prefecture
In light of the severe earthquake that struck Japan in January 2023, the Furusato tax payment site
'Furunavi', operated by i-mobile, has set up an emergency disaster relief counter to aid the most affected areas, starting January 15, 2023. This initiative primarily focuses on providing support to
Sakaiminato City in Tottori Prefecture, which has been adversely impacted by the earthquake. The company expresses its sincere condolences to everyone affected by this disaster.
New Municipality for Earthquake Relief
Furunavi has officially announced the opening of donation channels for the following town:
In addition to Sakaiminato City, other municipalities that have already been accepting donations include:
- - Yonago City, Tottori Prefecture
- - Daisen Town, Tottori Prefecture
- - Tottori Prefecture (Prefectural Office)
For those wishing to support recovery efforts, Furunavi has created a specialized
Disaster Support Page (
Visit the Disaster Support Page). This platform enables users to provide financial support through the Furusato tax donation framework, effectively allowing donors to help rebuild affected communities.
Overview of Support Services
The emergency disaster relief counter on Furunavi aims to facilitate donations directed completely to the affected municipalities. All funds contributed will be delivered in full to the selected municipalities, with contributors receiving donation receipts from the respective local governments.
Note: Due to the current circumstances, there may be delays in the issuance of donation receipt certificates, and donors are advised to anticipate slower delivery times than usual.
Importantly, Furunavi emphasizes that in the context of these donations, they will not impose any handling fees, meaning that every yen donated will go directly to the municipalities in need. The site features a disaster support section specifically designed for this purpose.
Transparency and Community Involvement
In keeping with the spirit of disaster relief, there will be no return gifts offered for these donations. This initiative is motivated by the belief that awareness and visibility can significantly contribute to the recovery efforts. The company urges people across Japan to come together to create a unified support network for those affected.
As part of their commitment to delivering value, Furunavi also maintains a wide array of services aimed at enhancing community engagement through contributions. These include:
- - Premium Concierge Service for personalized donation experiences.
- - Flexible Donation Catalog that offers point-based returns with no expiration.
- - Travel Reservation Services providing access to over 10,000 facilities nationwide.
- - Crowdfunding Types of Furusato Donations to broaden the support mechanism further.
