Mirai Works Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Shoji Okamoto; hereinafter "the Company") has launched a special recruitment website in collaboration with the "Mt. Fuji Alps Alliance" (*1). The "Mt. Fuji Alps Alliance" was formed in March 2025 through a comprehensive business alliance between Shizuoka Bank (Headquarters: Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture; President: Minoru Yagi), Yamanashi Chuo Bank (Headquarters: Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture; President: Yoshifumi Furuya), and Hachijuni Nagano Bank (Headquarters: Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture; President: Masahide Matsushita) as a new business development to contribute to the sustainable growth of local communities. The Company will operate a special recruitment website linked to the landing page for those considering relocation, which is provided by the "Mt. Fuji Alps Alliance," thereby supporting settlement promotion by alleviating job-related anxieties for potential migrants.
Background
In recent years, against the backdrop of diversifying work styles and the spread of remote work, an increasing number of people are prioritizing "where to live" in addition to "where to work." The three prefectures of Shizuoka, Yamanashi, and Nagano are highly popular as relocation destinations due to their rich natural environment and good access to urban areas, allowing for a balance between ease of living and job satisfaction (*2).
On the other hand, serious population decline and labor shortages in rural areas are urgent issues. The Company operates the regional job matching platform "Glocal Mission Jobs (GMJ)" (https://glocalmissionjobs.jp/), which supports local small and medium-sized enterprises in resolving management issues and matches professional talent, who drive business growth, as executives or successors, while also disseminating information on the appeal of rural areas. Shizuoka Bank, Yamanashi Chuo Bank, and Hachijuni Nagano Bank, as key players in the regional economy, are promoting sustainable regional growth through solving social issues. In addition to existing partners Shizuoka Bank and Hachijuni Nagano Bank, the Company newly concluded a business alliance with Yamanashi Chuo Bank in April 2026 to strengthen the utilization of professional side-job talent and full-time employee recruitment (*3).
By integrating the close network of the three financial institutions with the Company's advanced talent matching know-how, we will contribute to solving the social issue of alleviating overconcentration in the Tokyo metropolitan area and creating new flows of people to rural areas, while also promoting regional economic revitalization.
Special Website
A special website dedicated to the Shizuoka, Yamanashi, and Nagano areas has been launched within "Glocal Mission Jobs (GMJ)." This special website is linked to the official landing page for those considering relocation, "Living in Shizuoka, Yamanashi, and Nagano" (https://www.mt-fuji-alps-alliance-iju.shizuokabank.co.jp), published by the Mt. Fuji Alps Alliance.
