Sammu City Strategy

Basic Plans

for Tokyo Olympic

and Paralympic Games

January, 2014

Sammu City Headquarters

of Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games

Introduction

Now Japan is facing the problem of diminishing local communities and economy, with a decreasing birthrate

and an aging population. Our pressing issues are to activate the region, to create employment, and to put the

brakes on population decline by promoting settlement for new comers.

It has been determined that 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games will be held.

Sammu City will cooperate in order for it to be a success. We as a city will take this opportunity to promote

globalization in a positive light, and we will tie in the holding of this competition into the development of our city.

In order to break away from this negative decline, we must have a global perspective, such as adopting

measures to absorb the growth from overseas. Sammu City will continue to aggressively pursue globalization.

Specifically, in this opportunity, we will raise the standard of youth sports, the living standards of people with

disabilities, and also further promote global education.

In addition, taking advantage of the geographical benefits of this city, being in Narita Airport Economic Zone,

and by assertively accepting tourists, we will activate the local economy by making this city more accessible at the

same time.

Moreover, by standing as a candidate for the host city for foreign Olympic and Paralympic athletes’

*1preliminary camping, and actively carrying out international exchanges, such as holding activities to encourage

and support youth interaction, we wish to give hope and dreams to children who are responsible for the future.

To achieve this we will work on the promoting the city by establishing a regional brand name, which in turn will

amplify the recognition of Sammu City.

In order to plan and promote these, we have inaugurated “Sammu City Headquarters of Tokyo Olympic and

Paralympic Games” (May 20th, 2014) placing the mayor as General Manager. Also, we have established four

subcommittees (Education, Invitation, Sports for the disabled, Community development) and have been

organizing the basic plans of action for each of them. In order to inherit the future efforts and achievements to the

next generation, the subcommittees appointed a number of young staff.

Sammu City will form an organization with Public-Private Partnership in the near future to promote working

together as “*2ALL SAMMU”.

At this moment in time, a basic plan has been established. It involves a guide in strategy in which Sammu City

will embark upon for the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games.

*1 preliminary camping…training camp for the athletes to adjust the climates of the host country and their condition before Olympic and

Paralympic Games start.

*2 ALL SAMMU…including all citizens, government, business, and organizations in Sammu City.

１－① Olympic and Paralympic Games momentum-building and Enlightenment

1) Tokyo Summer Olympics in 1964, Sapporo Winter Olympics in 1972, and Nagano

Winter Olympics 1998 had been held in Japan, however, the children who will be

leading the next generation will be experiencing the Olympics for the first time.

2) Most children recognize Olympics as a large scaled sports event. Since it will be held in

Japan, the opportunity should be taken to let the children know the Olympic spirit,

such as “Improving both physically and mentally through sports, understanding each

other beyond culture and nationality, sense of solidarity, and fair play ”

3) “All Sammu” will be needed in order for Sammu City to contribute to the Tokyo

Olympic and Paralympic Game’s success, and throughout the process, the city will

connect this opportunity for the promotion of youth sports and regional development.

For that purpose, the support and momentum building of civilians will be necessary.

Main Initiatives

Current Status and Issues

- 7 -

1) To consider changing people’s active life style by holding tournaments between schools, and

organizing other sporting events to improve the health for every child and student.

2) To organize sports classes in order to improve children’s ability, and health, as well as their

interest in sports having been taught by professional players.

school students are below average.

2) A request for basketball coaching and a cheer-leader group made by male basketball

team, “Chiba Jets”.

3) Coaching class by a professional baseball team, football team, and basketball team in

the prefecture as a regional contribution project.

Main Initiatives


- 8 -

To consider financial support for registered Sammu City athletes allowing them to train. Also, to

consider agricultural products and local produce as a bonus.

１－③ Supporting Athletes

1) We have established a system that rewards athletes who achieve excellent records at

national tournaments.

2) There are sports clubs from junior high schools in the city that participate in Kanto

tournaments and national tournaments and some of the players from the club teams are

still playing after graduation.

3) In order for athletes to enhance and retain their performance, it is essential for them to

attend as many competitions as possible. Because of that, there is a substantial

economic burden to pay the transportation fees.

4) It is important for the athletes who are training very hard every day to eat a balanced

meal.

Main Initiatives


- 9 -

1) To consider the opportunities to have events with neighboring schools. (New)

2) To consider the opportunities to have games with high achieving schools.(New)

3) To make a database of the athletes who can coach school sports clubs to train students. Also,

register athletes who are from Sammu City. (New)

１－④ Supporting Club Activities

1) The running of sports clubs has become troublesome due to a lack of funds which is

caused by the decline in the number of students.

2) In contrast to the teams that participate in the Kanto and national tournaments, there

are sports teams with fewer chances of participating in tournaments and do not get the

opportunity to improve their ability.

Main Initiatives


- 10 -

1) To consider training sessions to improve the local sports club coaches. (New)

2) To consider subsidizing fees for those studying toward a coaching certificate. (New)

１－⑤ Promoting Sports Coaches

1) When it comes to continuously strengthening performance, the popularity of the club

team and level of skill depend on the coach’s ability. Therefore, once the coach is

transferred to another school, those benefits will be lost again and again.

2) By training the coaches and creating the environment to give high level coaching

constitutively, improve students’ exercise and technical strength.

Main Initiatives

10) To consider holding courses to review and recognize about Japanese culture.(New)

11) To consider carrying out youth exchange program with Sri Lanka.(New)

２－① Developing global communications

1) There have been cross cultural exchange classes held using electronic black boards by

ALTs and homeroom teachers, teaching foreign language activities targeting 5th and

6th grades for one hour per week at city elementary schools. (Some schools, depending

on the school, have the same classes for 1st to 4th grades one hour, every two weeks)

2) The new teaching course has started. The course requires not only learning the

language, but also the study of cultural exchange and multilateral vision.

3) Since there is not enough opportunity to interact with foreigners, the perceptions of

dealing with foreign languages and people are difficult, and will not disappear.

4) Human resources utilization is necessary to find foreigners that live in the city who are

willing to cooperate with the education of foreign language in order for the civilians to

have more opportunity to interact in another language.

5) It is necessary to create the opportunity for civilians to be exposed to not only language

but also different cultures.

1) In order to provide information on the city, and to consider the use of SNS (social networking

services). (New)

2) By using the information content to promote Sammu City. (New)

１－① Using Social Networking Services(SNS)

Currently, there are Facebook, Twitter, LINE as Social Networking Services (SNS). Lately,

there are more, both national and local, government bodies using SNS to communicate with

civilians and reflect opinions to the administrations. It is necessary for Sammu City to start

using SNS for the younger generations to share information fast and easily to work towards

Olympics together.

※Social Networking Service (SNS): The service provided by using online tools to build

social networks.

Main Initiatives


- 44 -

1) To consider developing projects to increase the frequency of press releases by making “topics

2) To consider to improve the city hall website.(New)

3) To consider to improve tourism information on city hall website. (New)

4) To consider creating mosaic art by using photographs collected from citizens.(New)

１－② Publishing via media, etc

There are many local resources, such as good agricultural products and the natural

environment. However, when it comes to the advertisement for them, it is hard to say that we

have been using mass media actively. As a result, Sammu City’s local resources are not well

known by both inside and outside of the city. Therefore, it is necessary to use mass media and

advertise Sammu City having been given the chance to do so by the Olympic and Paralympic

Games.

Main Initiatives


- 45 -

1) To cooperate with related institutions which are supporting the project developing products in

the city. (Existing)

2) To promote developing products and goods that utilize the city character. (Existing)

3) Developing new items that are using local products and Olympic “cheering goods” using Sambu

Cedar trees. (New)

１－③ Product development and utilizing city products

The main local products are the crops (strawberries, melon, corn, fig, and rice, etc). These

can be sold without being processed. However, by processing them their value would increase

and in turn makes it possible to expand the channels of sale.

From now on, by using city products, it is necessary to produce Olympic and Paralympic

related goods, as much as advertising the city.

Main Initiatives


- 46 -

1) To consider utilizing the hometown tax payment system as financial resources for supporting

Olympic and Paralympic Games.(New)

2) To develop local industry, by improving the goods returned to the hometown taxpayers, and

promote the diversification of gratitude.(New)

１－④ Using hometown taxation system

Since 2008, Sammu City *Hometown Tax Project has been carried out, and up until 2012,

there have been only a few donations every year. However, the city has started to hand out

locally produced strawberries to the donator which increased the number of donators that

year, more than the total of the past 5 years.

Recently, the return of the Hometown Tax has been gathering attention by media, and

using that as a new city promotion method is necessary as a city that proceeds Olympic

and Paralympic Games.

*Hometown Tax: Tax project lets taxpayers allocate some of their residential taxes to

hometowns they no longer reside in.

Main Initiatives


- 47 -

1) To review the tourism pamphlet and have them translated into foreign languages. (New)

2) To promote Wi-Fi development in public facilities such as the tourism information center, road

stations, and city related facilities. (New)

3) To consider to review the contents of signs and there locations.(New)

２－① Upgrading the tourism information transmitting tool

Despite the fact that there is a homepage and tourism pamphlets, there has not been

enough transmitting of information on Sammu City’s attractions and tourism towards

outside.

Also, there are not enough signs for tourism.

According to those factors, it is necessary to provide the information on the city’s

attractions and build the tool for it towards Olympics and Paralympics.

Main Initiatives


- 48 -

1) To promote the beautification of the city's roadsides by including support from citizens, such as

planting flowers.(Existing)

２－② Upgrading the system to receive tourists

Mainly people come to Sammu City for swimming at the beach in the summer and

strawberry picking from winter to the spring.

From now on, it is necessary to make the environment for tourists to want to visit Sammu

City who are coming to watch Olympic and Paralympic Games. In order to do that, making a

system to allow better traffic access to the city and broadcasting the information on the

attractions of Sammu is needed.

Main Initiatives


- 49 -

1) By utilizing local resources, sorting them out, aiming at year-round type tourism, making the

exchange. (Existing)

3) To promote tourism of Sammu City, with the cooperation of citizens, and consider creating

Rice Paddy Art.(New)

２－③ Establishing Green Blue tourism

Nowadays, local resources are not used by the tourism plan, nor are they added to realize

the appeal of Sammu City. It is necessary to organize the local resources, connecting farming,

food, and nature, and make a tourism plan that allows tourists to experience the agriculture,

forestry and fisheries with people in those businesses and the city.

Main Initiatives


- 50 -

1) By solving the tasks, concerns, and problems that small and medium sized companies encounter,

and strengthen the business support functions which reflect local business. (securing coordinator

human resources, corporate matching, etc) (New)

2) To consider making specific measures by observing how Narita Airport Area Municipality

Council and Narita Airport Leverage Council make corresponding policies and trends. (New)

３－① Comprehensive approach towards using Narita Airport

At Narita Airport, after the named agreement of the “300,000 times of arrival and

departure capacity”, the expansion of new flights and LCC both international and domestic,

the airport has become prosperous. Also, by the improvements made to the airport access,

and a better high-way access opening around the capital, new possibilities like human

resources, goods/services, and economic benefits are due to a “better” airport.

In order to make use of the new chance provided by the Olympic and Paralympic Games,

without missing the timing, it is necessary to connect the high potential of the airport to the

city for activating the economy.

Main Initiatives


- 51 -

1) To encourage sports participation of citizens, promote exercise classes and health classes.

(Existing)

2) While leveraging the knowledge possessed by the elderly in relation to history, culture,

nature etc, of the region, to develop the town walk route and promote the places for activities

for the elderly. Also to expand the health promotion program by utilizing Park Golf. (New)

４－① Promoting Participation for elderly people

The current situation of the area is that baby boomers are getting old, low birthrate and

longevity is accelerating, nuclear families are becoming more popular, and the strength of

support between family and community is getting weaker.

In order for the situation to be solved, people need to realize the importance of the connection

between family and community, and rebuild the community.

Therefore, the Olympic and Paralympic Games will create a chance through sports and

exercise for elders to go outside and be active.
