Our Field: Hamamatsu City
Hamamatsu City, located in Shizuoka Prefecture, is often referred to as a "miniature model of Japan" because the challenges it faces reflect those encountered nationwide. These include a declining birthrate, an aging population, and a steady migration of people to the Tokyo metropolitan area. These issues are particularly severe in the city’s mountainous and rural regions.
Despite being a regional city, Hamamatsu is also notable for its multiculturalism, with a significant foreign population. At College Impact Japan, we are committed to addressing the challenges facing Hamamatsu City and working toward a better, more inclusive future for society.
