results. Aichi prefecture in Tokai area is leading whole area by producing about half of the grossproducts, but on the contrary Hokuriku area has no core prefecture and each of three prefectures exist
equally with taking advantage of own characteristics. (Fig.5 and 6) It is not a pyramid shape businesscastle town, each company in Hokuriku is having own strength and cooperate each other moderately.
This is a reason to create unique and various technologies.

and Kinki. By enhanced high-way network for road transportation, it made it convenience to reach to thecities from Hokuriku. Comparing traveling time to Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka, from Shizuoka located in
Chukyo area is traveling time to the big 3 cities is average 158 mins., from Toyama (267 mins.), Ishikawa(265 mins.), and Fukui (234 mins.). It is just 80 – 110 mins. differences. Considering the lesser congested
traffic condition on the Japan Sea coast than on the Pacific coast, the Hokuriku location is quite
competitive in terms of access to the Big 3 cities (Fig.13).
Moreover, Hokuriku Shinkansen has started operation, traveling time from Tokyo to Kanazawa has beenshorted more than 1 hour. (Fig.14) Business people and tourists in the Hokuriku area can now spend
longer in the Tokyo Metropolitan area and vice versa. The Hokuriku Shinkansen is planning to be further
extended to Tsuruga, this increased ease of access will enhance the position of Hokuriku as a major
region of Japan.

Molds are indispensable components of the industrial mass production process, including forging
pressing and plastics processing. Especially agglomeration of molding industry, Hokuriku has the next
heaviest concentration of mold manufacturers in Japan, only behind the Tokai, and it has a potentialof supporting the industry. (Fig.15) Even if existing products are losing competitiveness and required

People in Hokuriku have a culture of working with patient and low turnover rate. (Fig.17) Rice cropping
is historically active in Hokuriku, it requires managing water resource by community and handlingmany processes with right timing. Otherwise enough amount of crop cannot be expected. Industrial
development has been proactively promoted to utilize surplus labor in the community during heavy snow
winter. These cultural background helps to build culture of having strong community spirit, hardworking,and opening for something new.
And also, Hokuriku has higher rate of education and hardworking, and women's participation in society
is ahead of other regions. (Fig.18) There are many families in Hokuriku living as three-generation family,
the environment creates for women to go outside to work easily. Woman labors sustain to develop “textile”
and “electrical parts” industries which require detailed work.

is the 5th place of prefectural income per person and it exceeds Japan average. Prefectural income
includes corporate income, so it is not showing gross income of consumers and labors, larger householdincome is some outstanding point because of multiple working forces in a household. (Fig.21) People in
Hokuriku have high motivation without high compensation because of hard working culture and enoughhousehold income. They support positive growth cycle of high-level manufacturing by providing goodwork resources.

IV. Introduction of Industries in the three Prefectures of Hokuriku

Manufacturing requires non-stop work restructuring of designing, procuring, manufacturing, quality
assuring, and shipping to enhance value of product development and application of products. In addition
to cold climate, distance from big cities and less population in Hokuriku, jobs-to-applicants ratio is higher
than Japan average. It nurtures company culture of “value people” and “raise people”, and seeks asource of added value in development of human resources and technology. (Fig.22) It is not too muchto say that whole company including employees become one family. These strong bonding helps toovercome high-yen recession, production transfer to overseas, and supports new products development
and open up new markets.
Ratio of regular employment in Hokuriku is 70% for all Hokuriku 3 prefectures and more than 50% forwoman employment. (Fig.23) Especially woman employment rate including woman raising children ishigh, it shows companies are considering women not just assistants as a source of added value but also
as same as men work forces. Other than that, companies are proactively hiring retired generation andcooperating with union to support “lifetime player”. (Fig.24) Maximization of local labor force involving
women and seniors makes the region No.1 in happiness levels. And the experiences which build up theabundance are taken over to next generation by the high ratio of three-generation living together. In an
aspect of people development, Hokuriku has a high level of education and it becomes a foundation of
the region to grow continuously. (Fig.25)*HRJUDSKLFDOGLVDGYDQWDJHEHLQJRQWKH-DSDQVHDVLGHLQVWHDGRIWKH3DFLF2FHDQVLGHLVJRLQJWR
be solved by connecting to Kinki area by Shinkansen in the near future, exploiting Japan sea channel,
industrialization of Northwest countries such as Russia and China, and growth of telecommunication
like internet. While working style has been changing with new technologies like AI and robots on
depopulation era, Japan will put emphasis on “quality” of human resource instead of “quantity”. With the

become more valuable. Along with progressive globalization, opportunities for companies and people in
Hokuriku will increase more than ever.
