Takikawa city has an aging population and very few
opportunities for young people. As a result, the town's economy is
fragile. When I first came to Takikawa I was surprised to see so
many closed shops. It was depressing at first but then I learnt many
talented people are interested in rejuvenating the local area. But fragile doesn't mean dead. I think the way forward is as follows. Takikawa needs a center to promote
entrepreneurs. This should include educational support, crowd
funding, and local government administration. On the other hand,
people say that it is best to attract large companies should open
here and provide young people with jobs. Japanese people, they say,
are only interested in working for established companies. I believe
however that if Takikawa is going to survive, it needs to encourage
and support small startups.
