CREATIVE TOKYO
METI has promoted the Cool Japan strategy in close collaboration among related ministries and agencies, based on the proposal by the Cool Japan Advisory Council, with the aim of acquiring 8 to 11 trillion yen in the worldwide markets in creative industries, as of 2020. In order to achieve this goal, we started the "Cool Japan Strategy Program" last year focusing on the development of foreign distribution/retail channels for SMEs in the fields of the Japanese content, fashion, food, local products, traditional culture and craftsmanship.
We plan to carry out various domestic projects together with local governments and related ministries and agencies so as to advance the idea of the "development of creative hubs" as suggested by the Advisory Council, endeavoring to revitalize local communities by way of promoting the creative industries that make the most of regional resources and tourism resources.
As a part of such initiatives, we will promote the ”Creative Tokyo" project in the capital city as a showcase of Japanese creative industries. Related ministries and agencies, shopping districts, department stores, developers, universities, organizers of related events, and NPOs will all unite with the aim of reviving the Tokyo brand, activating towns in Tokyo and stimulating consumption, and attracting more tourists to Tokyo.
