The number of local authorities in Japan wishing to employ foreign human resources is increasing, in order to deal with the growing number of inbound tourists and expand overseas markets for local products.

Therefore, the Secretariat of the Headquarters for Overcoming Population Decline and Vitalizing Local Economy in Japan of the Cabinet Secretariat has launched the Support System for Vitalizing Local Economy in Japan through Foreign Human Resources and opened its website. This system aims to support matching between foreign nationals living in countries/regions outside Japan who wish to work for local authorities or their related organizations in Japan and local authorities that wish to employ those foreign nationals.

If you are a foreign national who meets the requirements and wishes to be employed by a Japanese local authority, please check the job offer information posted on the website, and submit an application for your desired job directly to the local authority on your own responsibility. For inquiries on individual job offer information, please directly contact the local authority that has posted the job offer.

• Applications close on 17th May 2019.


• Depending on the situation of applications, the closing date is subject to change without notice.
