It is a special local public entity with assemblies and administrative committees as
stipulated in Article 284 of the Local Autonomy Act. It can ﬂexibly andcomprehensively deal with region-wide administrative needs that extend beyond thebounds of prefectures. An inter-prefectural association can be assigned the national

Message from the Union President
Let's update the Union of Kansai Governments to version 2.0!!
Since its establishment in December 2010 as Japan's ﬁrst and only pan-prefectural
association, the Union of Kansai Governments has promoted region-wide administration,planning, and policy coordination in seven areas: disaster prevention; tourism, culture
and sports promotion; industrial promotion; healthcare; environmental conservation;
certiﬁcation exams and licensing; and staﬀ training. However, as we celebrate ourthirteenth year of establishment, there have been signiﬁcant changes around us.
While embracing the underlying idea of "Kansai is one, looking after each area of
Kansai," we will take measures against COVID-19 and avian ﬂu, and prioritize the safety
and security of the citizens of the prefectures using our experience of the Great
Union President
Hanshin-Awaji
Earthquake. Thus, we aim to achieve the following three goals to upgrade
Taizo Mikazuki(Governor of Shiga Prefecture)
the Union of Kansai Governments further:
The ﬁrst is to become a Kansai that takes charge. In March 2023, the Agency for
Cultural Aﬀairs relocated to Kyoto and began operations. Kansai is the only region in
Japan that has achieved the relocation of a central government agency to a regional location since the Meiji
period (1868-1912). Based on this achievement, we will continue to attain results as Kansai plays a role in building
a decentralized society and a Japan with a bilateral structure.
The second is to become a dynamic Kansai. Two major global events will be held in Kansai: Expo 2025
Osaka Kansai in two years, and the World Masters Games 2027 Kansai two years after that. Leveraging themas opportunities to attract the world s attention, we would like to work with the business community andvarious organizations to revitalize the Kansai region and send a message to the world.
The third is to create a connected Kansai. Throughout history, Kansai has thrived due to its connections
through water, roads, and culture. Let us create a Kansai that values and promotes such connections from thepresent to the future.
We hope to join our hearts and forces with all of you to progress toward a sustainable future for the Kansai
region. We look forward to your continued guidance and support.
Let's give it our all, together!

The UKG s Vision for the Future of Kansai
The Fifth Comprehensive UKG Plan of the Union of Kansai Governments (planning period: FY2023 FY2025) sets forth the following three basic concepts for Kansai s future and aims to realize them bymaking the Union of Kansai Governments the hub for integrating Kansai s strengths.

(1) Kansai creating a bilateral structure in Japan and promoting a decentralization reform
・Aim to break down the centralized administrative framework, have Kansai drive Japan s economic growth,and redress Tokyo s dominant role in the nation s life.
・Persistently seek the transfer of national government agencies, and proactively seek the transfer of national
government aﬀairs and authority necessary for the development of Kansai.
・Work with the business community to create a backup structure for capital city functions, and promote
initiatives to address the disparity in infrastructure between the Tokyo metropolitan area and the rest ofJapan.

Realizing a decentralized society〜 Initiatives to create a bilateral structure in Japanand promote a decentralization reform〜

For the growth of the Kansai region, we will promote regional development and demonstrate that
Kansai is a suitable region to support capital city functions, thereby promoting further relocation of
government agencies, and creating a bilateral structure in Japan. Also, by building the achievements ofa Kansai-wide administration, we will demonstrate our ability to take over the aﬀairs and authority of
the national government, which will lead to the delegation of the national government s duties that areappropriate for the Union. By promoting these initiatives comprehensively, we aim to realize a Kansai
rich in individuality and vitality, leading a decentralized society in which the communities themselves
can determine their policy priorities.

■ Building a backup structure for capital functions
In case of an emergency in the capital, it's essential to have a backup base that can support its
political, administrative, and economic functions. We believe Kansai is an ideal location for thisbecause of its high concentration of national agencies and corporate headquarters, excellent
transportation and communication capabilities, and the ongoing support and cooperation of the
public and private sectors, including the UKG.
■ Relocation of government agencies
To expand the eﬀectiveness and innovativeness of policies of government agencies established in
Kansai, such as the Agency for Cultural Aﬀairs, the Consumer Aﬀairs Agency s Headquarters for New
Future Creation Strategies, and the Ministry of Internal Aﬀairs and Communication s Statistical Data
Utilization Center, we will promote partnership and cooperation, including with aﬃliated bodies andthe business community to further relocate government agencies and central government regionaloﬃces to the region.
■ Creating a Disaster Management Agency
We will continue to promote the creation of a Kansai-based Disaster Management Agency, abilateral organization with expertise in a series of disaster countermeasures, including investigative
studies and scenarios of disaster prevention measures based on past experience.
■ Transferring the national government s functions and authority
We will propose the decentralization of power to the national government in order to achieve adrastic expansion of the role of our region-wide block-based union and a transfer of authority. At
the same time, we will seek the transfer of administrative duties and authority from the national

Realizing a decentralized society〜 Initiatives to create a bilateral structure in Japanand promote a decentralization reform〜

For the growth of the Kansai region, we will promote regional development and demonstrate that
Kansai is a suitable region to support capital city functions, thereby promoting further relocation of
government agencies, and creating a bilateral structure in Japan. Also, by building the achievements ofa Kansai-wide administration, we will demonstrate our ability to take over the aﬀairs and authority of
the national government, which will lead to the delegation of the national government s duties that areappropriate for the Union. By promoting these initiatives comprehensively, we aim to realize a Kansai
rich in individuality and vitality, leading a decentralized society in which the communities themselves
can determine their policy priorities.

■ Building a backup structure for capital functions
In case of an emergency in the capital, it's essential to have a backup base that can support its
political, administrative, and economic functions. We believe Kansai is an ideal location for thisbecause of its high concentration of national agencies and corporate headquarters, excellent
transportation and communication capabilities, and the ongoing support and cooperation of the
public and private sectors, including the UKG.
■ Relocation of government agencies
To expand the eﬀectiveness and innovativeness of policies of government agencies established in
Kansai, such as the Agency for Cultural Aﬀairs, the Consumer Aﬀairs Agency s Headquarters for New
Future Creation Strategies, and the Ministry of Internal Aﬀairs and Communication s Statistical Data
Utilization Center, we will promote partnership and cooperation, including with aﬃliated bodies andthe business community to further relocate government agencies and central government regionaloﬃces to the region.
■ Creating a Disaster Management Agency
We will continue to promote the creation of a Kansai-based Disaster Management Agency, abilateral organization with expertise in a series of disaster countermeasures, including investigative
studies and scenarios of disaster prevention measures based on past experience.
■ Transferring the national government s functions and authority
We will propose the decentralization of power to the national government in order to achieve adrastic expansion of the role of our region-wide block-based union and a transfer of authority. At
the same time, we will seek the transfer of administrative duties and authority from the national
government by building Kansai s region-wide administration achievements and demonstrating its
ability to take over national administrative aﬀairs and power.

Cooperation with various entities○ To realize the Union of Kansai Governments Vision for the Future of Kansai, we will workwith the business community, partner organizations (Fukui and Mie Prefectures), the national
government, municipalities, and various other entities to become a hub for unifying Kansai s authority and revitalizing the entire Kansai region.
○ We will actively communicate the merits of the UKG and information on regional aﬀairs toresidents, and emphasize its presence to improve the public s understanding. We will also
reﬂect residents opinions on our policies through the Council of the Union of Kansai
Governments, which consists of representatives of regional organizations, academic experts,
and publicly recruited committee members, and through periodic opinion exchange meetings
with municipalities.
