  • Challenging Region 0725
    CHALLENGING REGION By International Business & Tourism Promotion Division, Fukuoka Prefectural Government Since olden times, Fukuoka Prefecture has prospered as Japan’s gateway to the rest of Asia, including the Asian Continent. It is located halfway between Tokyo and Shanghai, and is 90 minutes away by air from either of these cities. Another geographic advantage is that it is only a few hours’ flight from other major cities in Asia as well. From Fukuoka, it is possible to visit Shanghai, Taipei or Seoul and return the same day. This makes the prefecture an opti- mum location for businesses that target the Japanese and other Asian markets. The region has an excellent air service network. Fukuoka and Kitakyushu airports, both of which are international airports, together handle 330 flights weekly to 17 cities in the world, primarily in Asia. On domestic routes, there are 332 flights to other major Japanese cities each day. In marine transport, two important ports, Hakata and Kitakyushu, are connected to ports around the world. On the Fukuoka-Shanghai route, high-speed roll-on, roll-off vessels cover the distance in a little less than 27 hours, making it possible to transport cargoes very competitively, both in terms of time and cost. Fukuoka Prefecture, where clusters of industries – including automobiles and semiconductors plus their related industries – are growing, has a gross regional product (GRP) of $164 billion, which is comparable to the gross domestic product (GDP) of Hong Kong or Thailand. The GRP of Kyushu Island, which includes Fukuoka Prefecture, as a whole amounts to $458 billion. If compared with the GDP of countries and regions in the world, it would rank in 17th place.

By 1970 the population had fallen to 1,155,000 people, but there was a trend of population growth later, and in 1985 the population was 1,250,000. However, from 1985 onwards, there has been a continued trend of population decrease in Oita due to factors such as the concentration of people in the Tokyo area and a declining population.

  • The Korean War and Japanese Ports: Support for the UN Forces and Its Influences
    The Korean War and Japanese Ports: Support for the UN Forces and Its Influences ISHIMARU Yasuzo Introduction When the Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950, Japan had been under the occupation of the Allied Forces. Nevertheless, Japan achieved its role as a rear base for the supply and transit of soldiers and materials. What linked the Korean Peninsula—the battlefield—and Japan—the rear base—were the sea and air transport routes, and what supported the sea transport routes were the Japanese ports. These ports in fact constituted important hubs connecting the battlefield and the rear base. During the same period, new laws pertaining to ports were established. These were the Port and Harbor Law (Law No. 218 of 1950) and the Old Naval Base City Conversion Law (Law No. 220 of 1950). The Port and Harbor Law established on the principle that the ports should be managed by local administration.1 Meanwhile, the aim of the Old Naval Base City Conversion Law was to establish a peaceful Japan by converting the former naval bases2 into industrial port cities. Therefore, right when Japanese ports were changing to new ports, the nation was thrown into the Korean War, which set back their efforts. The Korean War had a decisive influence on the path of post-war Japan,3 which prompted studies on its political and economic influences, its history, and on the rearmament of Japan. However, although some literature exists on Japan’s support to the Korean War,4 no studies have ever tried to focus on ports. This article discusses the role Japanese ports played during the Korean War and how they were affected by the war.

    ORIX Real Estate to Begin Construction of Second New Building at Beppu SUGINOI HOTEL Under Large‐scale Renovation Project ‐ Large‐scale Guest Room Building with 14 Floors Above Ground and 336 Rooms ‐ TOKYO, Japan ‐ November 12, 2020 ‐ ORIX Real Estate Corporation (“ORIX Real Estate”) announced that it will start construction of a second new guest room building (“ the new building”) at Beppu SUGINOI HOTEL, a hotel operated by ORIX Real Estate, as part of the large‐scale renovation project*1 slated for overall completion in 2025. Concept image of completed building The new building is located at the northwesternmost part of the hotel’s premises. The building will have one floor below ground and 14 floors above ground. It will have a total of 336 guest rooms, with various types of rooms from approximately 27 square meters to 93 square meters in area, including Western‐style and Japanese‐ Western‐style rooms. The exterior will be installed with louvers giving an impression of wind trailing from the mountains of Beppu to Beppu Bay and adopt a design centered on earth colors that make people think of bountiful nature such as the land and trees. The plan is to create a design using an abundance of plants that blends in with the mountains in the background taking advantage of the building’s location at the highest elevation within the premises. A restaurant and an open‐air bath will be available as shared facilities to offer a high‐quality resort experience. The large‐scale renovation project is slated for overall completion in 2025, with plans for the construction of two new buildings—including this new guest room building—as well as the reconstruction of the existing guest room building “Hana‐kan.” Following the new guest room building*2 that started to be construction in November 2019 and expected to open for operations in the summer of 2021, this new building aims to be the second building to be opened.

    CGE Analysis of Regional Policy in the Northern Kyushu Area Hiroshi Sakamoto The International Centre for the Study of East Asian Development (ICSEAD) Working Paper Series Vol. 2011-03 February 2011 The views expressed in this publication are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of the Institute. No part of this article may be used reproduced in any manner whatsoever without written permission except in the case of brief quotations embodied in articles and reviews. For information, please write to the Centre. The International Centre for the Study of East Asian Development, Kitakyushu CGE Analysis of Regional Policy in the Northern Kyushu Area∗ Hiroshi Sakamoto◆ Abstract This study develops a policy model in the context of the hierarchical administration system of the regional economy in Japan. In the case of Japan, a hierarchy of national, prefectural, and municipal (city) administration exists, and a different regional policy may be established for each level of the hierarchy. Generally, the policy and its evaluation might differ according to whether priority is given to national interests or to each region’s interests. To examine such a situation, quantitative analysis is conducted using the computable general equilibrium model (CGE model). Concretely, Kitakyushu City and Fukuoka City constitute an administrative region at the city level. These two cities and the rest of Fukuoka Prefecture together make up Fukuoka Prefecture. On the other hand, there is a case for including Yamaguchi Prefecture, the adjacent prefecture, in these regions. In that case, it can be called Northern Kyushu Area by combining Fukuoka Prefecture and Yamaguchi Prefecture.

    NEWS RELEASE February 13, 2020 Announcing Pollen Trends for Japan! The "Pollen Robo" observation device detects cedar pollen Hay fever season has started early after a warm winter Weathernews Inc. has announced the start of Japan's hay fever season as of February 6th, based on higher than normal pollen levels observed by their Pollen Robo devices in areas from southern Kanto to Tokai, southern Kinki, Chugoku, Shikoku, and northern Kyushu, combined with user reports of hay fever symptoms and expectations of increasing pollen dispersal going forward. Although the onset of hay fever season in the southern Kanto region was roughly in line with the average year, due to record-breaking warm winter weather the season began around 5 to 10 days earlier than normal in other prefectures, such as those in the Tokai region and northern Kyushu. In mid-February the peak period for cedar pollen dispersal is expected to begin earlier than usual in all areas of western Japan and eastern Japan other than Hokuriku. Hay fever season has begun in Tokyo and 14 prefectures Based on the combination of higher than normal *1 pollen dispersal levels observed by Pollen Robo pollen measuring devices in 14 prefectures including Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama, Yamanashi, Shizuoka, Aichi, Mie, Wakayama, Yamaguchi, Ehime, Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Oita, and parts of Kumamoto, together with the fact that pollen dispersal is expected to increase going forward and a growing number of user reports of "severe" or "somewhat severe" hay fever symptoms, Weathernews has announced that Japan has entered the hay fever season. Although the start of the hay fever season is roughly in line with the average year in the Kanto region, it began around five to 10 days earlier than usual in other areas, such as the Tokai region and northern Kyushu.
