"Founded on a spirit of freedom and autonomy, a city where anyone can be happy, healthy, and play an active role"

Vision for 2030

As represented by the Egoshu of Japan's medieval period, the people of Sakai believe in governing themselves, maintaining peace, and using international exchange to build prosperity. This spirit of freedom and autonomy continues to this day.

Utilizing this spirit, enthusiastic business operators are actively engaging in energy and the environment, healthcare, and other growth industries and new fields, and are creating new businesses.

Thus, vibrant local industries are creating new employment and business opportunities, and everyone is playing an active role. Furthermore, coexistence with natural environment, and enhanced childcare and school environments, parents can give birth and raise their children with confidence and reassurance. At the same time, the city's enhanced health and medical system is a comfort to older people and another reason why so many people settle here.

Sakai's fascinating historical and cultural resources also draw in many people from both within and outside Japan. And with the city's keenly autonomous residents actively engaged in community development efforts, Sakai is bustling and prosperous.

Sakai is a sustainably developing city: its bustle and prosperity attract people and business, which leads to further industry development.

Effect verification *Targets bus users.

Due to availability of Odekake Oen Bus, 52.4% of people are using bus more

Many users avoid work/school commuting peak hours and thus contribute to more efficient bus service and routes.

Due to availability of Odekake Oen Bus, a number of bus services used in a year increased by approximately 2.26 million.

(Annual bus use increased by about 16 trips per Odekake Oen Card holder.)

Source: Definition of ZEH and future measures proposed by the ZEH Roadmap Examination Committee (December 2015, Energy Efficiency and Conservation Division, Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry)

ZEH is a dwelling that, while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment, achieves net annual energy consumption of nearly zero (or less), made possible by generating energy via solar power, etc., and by maximum efforts to conserve energy through home insulation improvements and high-efficiency equipment.

ZEH addition in Sakai

Fixed amount: 100,000 yen

Sakai Eco CollegeKey point: Better environmental awareness,

human resources development

Environmental education and learning project launched in 2010 and implemented via collaboration between City of Sakai and various individuals and organizations *It is not a "university" prescribed in the School Education Law.

○ All city residents will seek to create a city (Sakai) that independently engages in environmental actions.○ Various entities from industrial, educational, private, and public sectors will cooperate in solving environmental problems.○ Through individual actions and mutual cooperation, we will create a low-carbon "Cool City Sakai" and lead the way as a sustainable society.

Basic principles of Sakai Eco College

Project content

(1) General course From children up to adults, course covers range of topics for purpose of "promoting environmental education and learning."

(2) Advanced course(Ended FY2017)

More advanced, specialized course for those with interest in environment gained from general course, etc.

(3) Eco College Supporter

For those who have completed advanced course and wish to be registered. Cooperation is requested in hosted courses, booth exhibits, etc.

(4) Eco College Partner

Individuals and organizations who agree with the principles and actively wish to participate will be certified.

(5) Local collaboration

Courses are implemented in collaboration with sister cities Higashiyoshino-mura and Tanabe.
