On May 29th, Governor Yamamoto Ichita announced during a general question period at the prefectural assembly that the use of "prefectural revenue stamps," which have been used to pay fees associated with various applications to the prefecture, will end at the end of March 2028.
This is due to the fact that an increasing number of prefectural facilities are offering cashless payments and online application systems have been put in place.
On the other hand, in consideration of the fact that some prefectural residents cannot use cashless payments, the governor also indicated that he will continue to keep counters open where payments can be made in cash to ensure a smooth transition.
