Enriching the future of
our local communities.
A co-creation partner
connecting Kyushu’s value
to the world—and to
the future.
Empowering communities,
opening the future—
bringing Kyushu’s potential
to life.
Kyushu Mirai Creation Co., Ltd. was established as a wholly owned subsidiary of Kyushu Financial Group to support prosperous local communities and co-create a sustainable future.
We unearth the hidden potential of local people, products, and experiences, nurturing them through strategic partnerships. By strengthening local economic cycles and driving digital transformation (DX), we are committed to solving the challenges facing our communities.
Two businesses shaping
a blueprint for our communities’ future
E-commerce
Driving Brand Growth for Local Producers
We operate “Yoka-mall,” an e-commerce marketplace that connects customers with the people behind the products. By focusing on Kyushu’s “yoka” (the local dialect for "excellent") products and services, we strengthen the local economic cycle, enrich everyday life, and promote regional digital transformation (DX).
Global Business Support
The Region’s Gateway to Global Markets
We share Kyushu’s proud offerings—agricultural, forestry, and fishery products as well as processed goods—with countries around the world. In addition to export consulting and trade advisory, we also provide promotional services aimed at regional revitalization. We contribute deeply to expanding overseas sales channels for regional products and co-creating regional brands.
E-commerce
By delivering the region’s “good things” nationwide,
we share local appeal and create
an economic cycle that connects to the future.
Unearthing Local Appeal
Kyushu is home to many hidden treasures—specialty products and cultural assets that are not yet widely
known.
We carefully uncover them and re-curate them to match consumer needs. We discover new value in
agricultural products, processed goods, crafts, and more, and share them nationwide as a source of local
pride.
Expanding Sales Channels
We promote local specialties nationwide through multiple channels, including online sales, retail sales, and wholesale.
Driving Branding
We help create region-specific appeal and support brand building with compelling, story-driven value.
Marketing Support
Based on consumer feedback, we improve products and run promotions to continuously strengthen sales performance.
Building a System that Circulates the Regional Economy
We deliver products made by local producers to customers nationwide and support expanded sales channels. The revenue generated creates new jobs and enables new challenges. We believe expanding this “cycle of circulation” is key to sustainable regional growth.
Supporting municipalities’ hometown tax operations—
Furusato Ichiban.
Furusato Ichiban is a platform that works with municipalities to carefully uncover local appeal and deliver it to donors nationwide through the hometown tax (furusato nozei) program. We provide end-to-end support—from planning and developing return gifts to story design and PR—creating a virtuous cycle of increased local tax revenue, new investment, and job creation.
Regional Revitalization
By leveraging the furusato nozei system, we raise awareness of local products and encourage capital inflows from outside the region.
Promotion
We implement PR initiatives in collaboration with Yoka-mall to re-share the region’s appeal.
Solving Regional Issues
Through the corporate version of furusato nozei, we support initiatives that address regional challenges.
As Partners Who Grow Together
Working with municipalities, local companies, and producers, we aim to enhance the region’s overall brand value and grow together as a “regional team.”
Global Business Support
Taking regional appeal to the world stage—
Kyushu’s international division to maximize local value
We connect Kyushu with the world to revitalize the region as a whole.
As the region’s international division, our Global Business Support team builds strategic business frameworks to bring Kyushu’s agricultural, forestry, and fishery products, processed goods, and unique local culture to countries around the world.
We are not simply an export agent. To achieve sustainable regional growth, we provide a wide range of consulting and promotional services in Japan and overseas.
Export Support
We provide export consulting, trade advisory, buyer/channel introductions, and hands-on operational support.
We procure products from regional businesses and manage everything from building distribution channels to exporting, enabling expanded overseas sales.
We provide practical support for global expansion through buyer meetings and exhibiting at overseas trade fairs.
Regional Revitalization
We support regional brand building, promote tourism resources and culture, and provide regional revitalization consulting.
We collect and analyze actual market needs in Japan and overseas, develop strategies based on insights, and deliver integrated promotion and consulting aimed at regional revitalization.
We maximize Kyushu’s potential and build sustainable
business models that lead to regional revitalization.
