Akita Prefecture: "Aid for supporting farming and business in 2019"

Akita Prefecture’s “Agricultural Stay Business Entrepreneur Support Subsidy” is a system to support people who move from outside of the prefecture to Akita Prefecture and start farm stay business such as farmer inns and farm restaurants using local resources. In order to achieve sustainable development and participation of diverse human resources in the rural area, we will assist those who have already managed the farmhouse business or those who are expected to open within one year after the completion of the auxiliary business. Applicants are eligible to enter the prefecture outside of Japan or Akita prefecture, and they are eligible for opening within 5 years. In addition to those who apply for business licenses for ryokan and restaurants, companies who have received this subsidy in the past are not eligible in principle. As a business, it is assumed to start farmer's inn and farmer's restaurants, etc., so it is not just migration and lifestyle support, but it is handled as a support for farming and lodging business. Subsidies are expenses related to facility maintenance and renovation expenses related to the establishment of farm stay business, equipment expenses necessary to enter new customers such as inbound in existing facilities, and other entrepreneurial expenses. In the case of advertising and other software business, it is necessary to conduct it together with the facility maintenance and renovation, and it is centered on the environment necessary for commercialization such as accommodation, food and experience reception, not only for the soft business. The auxiliary rate is less than one second of the auxiliary expenses, and the maximum auxiliary value is 500,000 yen, so the amount max maintains 500,000 yen as the maximum auxiliary limit. Submit the application form, business plan, income budget, resident card, etc. by mail or email.
