Greetings from the Governor

Governor of Okinawa Prefecture

Okinawa, Japan’s only subtropical region, comprises around 160 islands and is blessed with a beautiful natural environment. The prefecture also has great geographic potential with its centrally located position between Southeast Asia and the Japanese mainland. Taiwan and Shanghai are just a 90-minute flight away and Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, Hong Kong and Manila only two and a half hours away by plane.Okinawa is working hard to promote industry through special tax incentives based on the 2002 Okinawa Promotional Special Measures Law. These incentives have been generated to especially encourage trade, tourism resort and telecommunications industries.The location that offers the most advantages as a site for trade and commerce industries is the Nakagusuku Bay Port Development District Special Free Trade Zone, the only free trade zone in Japan. Enterprises setting up operations in this district are supported through generous incentives such as a 35% corporate income tax exemption and youth employment development subsidies. Initial investment subsidies for factory lease consolidation are also planned for the future.This pamphlet contains information on Okinawa’s industrial infrastructure and support policies for enterprises that establish operations within the prefecture. I hope that readers will find this information useful and that enterprises looking for sites for new industrial facilities will consider Okinawa Prefecture as a strong candidate.

Making steady progress in water resourcedevelopment and water supply projects

A stable power supply provides for Okinawa’s industries

Development of power plants andelectricity transmission grid

The water volume allocated for industrial use is 105,000m3/day and 16,700m3/day of that is allocated for the Nakagusuku Bay Port Industrial Complex at 36.75 yen per m3.Population growth, industrial development and improved living standards, however, all call for greater water supply. Most of the current water supply is generated from multipurpose dams, but an ocean water desalination facility, capable of producing 40,000m3 of water per day, has also been in operation since 1997.

The Gushikawa Thermal Power Station, which started operation in 1995, is capable of generating 312,000kW.In addition, Generator No.1 (output capacity: 220,000kW) began operating at the Kin Thermal Power Station in February 2002, and Generator No.2 (output capacity: 220,000kW) is scheduled to begin operating in May 2003.

A stable supply is provided to support all kinds of industrial activities.
