Yurihama Town Coworking Space Development Subsidy

The Yurihama Town Coworking Space Development Subsidy supports operators who set up coworking spaces within the town. Its purpose is to promote interregional human-resource exchange and create town vitality by enabling workers, students and other users to share desks, network equipment, meeting rooms and facilities for work and exchange. Eligible applicants run a coworking-space project within Yurihama Town and meet two requirements: no delinquency in municipal taxes, and no organized-crime affiliation. Projects must comply with relevant laws, not be religious or political, not involve illegal/inappropriate activity, and not receive other national, prefectural or town subsidies. Eligible expenses cover three categories: facility development (electrical/telephone wiring, lighting, HVAC, security installation, fixed partitions, removal); communication (Wi-Fi/LAN equipment and installation); and furniture/equipment (desks, chairs, sofas, projectors, screens, mobile partitions, rental power). Consumption tax is excluded. The subsidy equals one-half of eligible expenses (rounded down to 1,000 yen) up to 1,000,000 yen. Projects must complete within the grant-decision fiscal year, begin operation within six months after completion, and be self-operated for at least five years. Applicants submit Form No.1 with business plan, budget, operation plan, contracts/quotes, drawings, photos, real-estate and tax certificates before starting. Effective April 1, 2026.
