One of our heavy users, a large taxpayer, has concerns about hometown tax payments, such as the fact that it takes time and effort to select a large number of gifts every year, and that the delivery of gifts overlaps, so many gifts are sent at once. I’ve heard that it takes time to receive it or it takes time to receive it. The desire to solve this problem was the impetus for entering the hometown tax business.

• Feature 2: Realization of a service where users, local governments, inns, and Ikyu are “good for all”

During our interviews, we heard that even local governments that have wonderful inns and attractive tourism resources face the unique hurdles of making “accommodation” a gift as a gift, making it difficult for them to implement this on their own. . Specifically, when an accommodation plan is exhibited as a paper “accommodation ticket”, the burden of operations such as plan creation, amount setting, exclusion date setting, and coupon shipping is large. In addition, it was pointed out that local governments have a problem in attracting users.

“Ikyu.com Furusato Nozei” utilizes the know-how and customer base that Ikyu has accumulated through the operation of the accommodation reservation site, and cooperates and acts as an agent for operations and attracting customers.By solving the problem with the trinity of the local government, the inn, and the Ikyu, we have realized the “Ikyu.com hometown tax”.

Coupons are automatically linked to your Ikyu.com account, can be used immediately, and can be completed online. Municipalities will utilize attractive tourism resources, and inns will provide wonderful experiences, which will lead to an increase in tourists to the local area. Ikkyu can improve the service mainly for heavy users.Users, local governments, inns, and Ikkyu“Good for all directions”We will realize a service that will be.
