Abstract: Abstract Since the 1990s, the Japanese government has recognized the significance of inward foreign direct investment (FDI) and eased regulations in order to promote it. The government reviews the system and conditions for accepting FDI at both national and local levels. Governments expect that foreign affiliates will affect local economies through job creation, capital inflow, and the improvement of productivity through the transfer of management resources, among other things. The expectation for inward FDI has been rather high in local governments in recent years.
