Sousa city

In 2024, Sosa City welcomed a new interchange on the Choshi Link Road, a regional highway. This link road will connect to the Ken-O Expressway, which is scheduled to open in 2027, and introduce Sosa to a wider reaching highway network. Furthermore, enhancements to Narita International Airport are scheduled for 2029, further increasing the convenience of our city.
Sosa City is planning to develop industrial land around the interchange, capitalising on unrestricted groundwater withdrawal and low disaster risk.

Companies with 5 or more employees (and assets totaling 30 million yen or more) that have newly established or expanded factories or offices in Sosa are eligible for the following benefits : a 5-year unlimited fixed asset tax exemption and employment incentive subsidies of up to 200,000 yen per person (maximum 10 million yen). Eligible industries include manufacturing, information and communications, transportation, wholesale, academics and research, and hospitality.

The city is aiming to promote its core industries of agriculture, forestry, and fishery through collaboration with local businesses to start so-called "Amusement Factories". These businesses will offer tours and hands-on experiences in their factories for visitors interested in the industries.
