■ Voice of the Person in Charge at Nakano Ward
Nakapay takes on new initiatives every fiscal year.
Last fiscal year, in collaboration with the 'Health and Happiness Point Project'—where you accumulate points by walking, measuring, and participating—we were able to grant Nakapay points to approximately 1,000 people.
In FY 2026, in addition to the above, we plan to grant points in various situations of daily life, such as health checkups and disaster drills. Through Nakapay, we aim to be a currency that supports health creation and community connections.
