Commerce

The environment which surrounds Kadena's commerce is quite severe due to the fact that the majority of the industry of the town of Kadena is in tertiary industry and as a result of the modernization of the shopping centers in neighboring municipalities and the advancement of large-scale retail stores. Through urban-type land utilization and remodeling of the shopping districts, Kadena endeavors to promote the activation of our town. In cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce, Kadena strives to invigorate the organization of the shopping district and raise the consciousness of the management, resulting in a more appealing business environment. With the implementation of financing systems like the Administrative Improvement Fund, we are actively promoting the modernization of business management.
