The Furunavi Catalog uses a point-saving donation method where you are given points from the local government where you pay your hometown tax, and you can use the points to choose specialty products later. Points do not have an expiration date (*), so after paying hometown tax, you can choose local products at your leisure without rushing, or you can donate more points with the next year’s hometown tax and accumulate them to select special products with a large amount. It is also possible to do so.
Additionally, points can be used at any time of the year, so you can use the points you hold to receive the latest seasonal specialties. (*) Some local governments have expiration dates.
Since the service was released on October 17, 2019, there has been a rich lineup of items such as meat, seafood, fruits, and rice that allows users to enjoy hometown tax donations even more.
