Summary
MLIT allocated JPY 4.325 billion in national funds across 19 projects under four priority themes for the FY2025 Hokkaido Development budget.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) announced on June 27, 2025 the allocation of JPY 4.325 billion in national funds across 19 projects under the FY2025 Hokkaido Specific Special Comprehensive Development Project Promotion Budget. The funding advances four strategic themes central to the Ninth Hokkaido Comprehensive Development Plan.
What happened
The promotion budget is a flexible allocation mechanism that responds to needs arising after the original annual budget is set. This year’s allocation covers 19 projects across public and non-public works, chosen through consultation between the national government, the Hokkaido Government and other relevant agencies. Projects were selected for their contribution to accelerating outcomes and improving efficiency of investment.
Why it matters
The four themes reflect Hokkaido’s core policy priorities for the medium term, spanning food, tourism, decarbonization, disaster resilience, the Northern Territories adjacent region and growth industries. The distribution of funds provides a concrete signal about where infrastructure investment will happen in FY2025.
Key details
- Theme 1: Food, tourism, and Zero Carbon Hokkaido production spaces. Roads (4 projects, JPY 1.491 billion) and agricultural infrastructure (4 projects, JPY 314 million).
- Theme 2: Response to Japan Trench and Kuril Trench megaquake and other major disasters. Rivers (3 projects, JPY 930 million), roads (1 project, JPY 400 million), and hillside stabilization (4 projects, JPY 395 million).

- Total: 19 projects, JPY 4.325 billion in national funds.
