Over half of F1 drivers use Arai helmets due to their confidence in the reliability of those products. The Arai Standard” – an original in-house standard Some other helmet companies emphasize comfort as a top priority, whereas “Arai” concentrates on energy management at the time of impact. This concept is fully manifested in the establishment of the in-house standard – the “Arai Standard” – to strictly implement product performance as a helmet manufacturer. The requirements of Arai Standard exceed those of the Snell Standard (well known as one of the most stringent helmet standards in the world) and therefore, helmets made to the Arai Standard are assured to meet or exceed Snell Standard requirements. The in-house Arai Standard is applied to all Arai helmets marketed as Snell certified products. Regardless of whether the helmets are destined for racing or street use, products passing the in-house standard are certified as meeting Snell Standard requirements. Many top drivers use Arai helmets Confidence in Arai helmets is not only shared by many domestic racers, but also by more than half of F1 drivers.

  • Chapter 8 Taxation
    A Guide to Living in Saitama Chapter 8 Taxation 1 Income Tax Saitama’s Prefectural Mascot Kobaton 2 Inhabitant Tax 3 Other Major Taxes All residents of Japan, regardless of nationality, are obligated to pay taxes. Taxes are an important resource used to promote a happy and stable environment for everyone. Taxes support various projects across a wide range of fields such as education, welfare, civil engineering, medical treatment, culture, environment, and industry. The two main taxes are income tax, which is levied by the national government, and inhabitant tax (prefectural and municipal tax), which is levied by both the prefectural and municipal governments. You may be exempt from paying income tax and inhabitant tax because of a taxation treaty between your country and Japan. To avoid double taxation, special exemptions have been established through bilateral taxation treaties between Japan and various countries. To check if these exemptions apply to you, please contact your country's embassy in Japan for further information. Payment of taxes must be done by the due date. If payment is overdue, an overdue fee will be incurred every day from the day after the due date until the payment is made. If your taxes remain unpaid for an extended period of time, your taxable assets will be seized. We encourage you to pay these taxes by the due date.

  • Impact of the Saitama Prefecture Target-Setting Emissions Trading Program on the Adoption of Low-Carbon Technology
    Discussion Paper Series No.1909 Impact of the Saitama Prefecture Target-Setting Emissions Trading Program on the Adoption of Low-Carbon Technology Mitsutsugu Hamamoto September 2019 Impact of the Saitama Prefecture Target-Setting Emissions Trading Program on the Adoption of Low-Carbon Technology Mitsutsugu Hamamoto Faculty of Economics, Dokkyo University Address: 1-1 Gakuen-cho, Soka-shi, Saitama 340-0042, Japan Phone/Fax: +81-48-942-6465 E-mail address: [email protected] Abstract This paper investigates the impacts of the Target-Setting Emissions Trading (TSET) Program launched by Saitama Prefecture in Japan in 2011 on the adoption of low-carbon technology. Using facility-level data on the manufacturing sector, the causal relationship between implementation of the program and investment in high-efficiency equipment is estimated. The results show that the TSET Program promoted the adoption of high-efficiency machines and devices for the first three years of the second compliance period, whereas the program did not spur investments in high-efficiency equipment during the first compliance period. These results suggest that the manufacturing facilities may have adopted relatively cheaper emissions reduction plans in the first compliance period such as improvements to equipment they already owned, whereas in the second compliance period, when the emissions targets became stricter, they allocated money and resources to introduce high-efficiency equipment. These findings indicate that the TSET Program succeeded in encouraging emissions reduction efforts by facilities in the manufacturing sector covered by the scheme, even though the program lacks penalties for noncompliance.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AGC to Donate Natural Disaster-Resistant Glass to Tornado-Stricken Koshigaya City in Saitama Prefecture, Japan ―Ensuring safety in evacuation shelters by using glass that does not scatter, even when cracked by strong winds― Tokyo, February 7, 2014—AGC (Asahi Glass Co., Ltd.; Head Office: Tokyo; President & CEO: Kazuhiko Ishimura) has donated its disaster-resistant glass to Minami Koshigaya Elementary School in Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture as part of the effort to support the city, which suffered terrible damage in a tornado in September 2013. A total of approximately 143m2 of glass at the school gymnasium, a designated evacuation center, was replaced with AGC’s disaster-resistant glass, which has improved the preparedness of the elementary school against natural disasters. Disaster-resistant glass is a laminated glass which is designed to hold fragments in place when it breaks. It effectively prevents damage during earthquakes, typhoons or strong winds, protecting children and other evacuees from injuries caused by glass fragments. Laminated glass has been introduced in disaster-prevention reports issued by the Cabinet Office of Japan as an effective means to prevent damage from tornados and strong gusts of wind. Once installed at schools and other designated evacuation centers, the glass provides greater safety and security even in the event of a natural disaster. Glass breakage patterns Easily shatters and allows Glass fragments Strongly resists Fragments do not scatter penetration penetration Ordinary glass Disaster-resistant glass AGC has been promoting the “Glass Power Campaign” since October 2005, donating disaster-resistant glass with the aim of promoting safety measures at designated evacuation centers across Japan.
