Furusato Nozei, or the Hometown Tax, is a system in Japan that allows taxpayers to allocate a portion of their income and residential tax to a specific municipality government of their choice. Hakuba Village has generously designated HIS to be one of their Hometown Tax recipients and you can select HIS as your donation recipient. You can make a donation through the Hometown Tax website, Furusato Choice. Unfortunately, the website is only in Japanese and we hope the guide below will help you. The deadline for each year's donation is December 31st. We would very much appreciate your generous support.
