In September, the author had the honor to participate in the "Japanese Local creation" delegation composed of scholars, policy researchers, NPO workers and young farmers who are concerned about rural development. During this period, I called on the relevant departments of the Japanese Cabinet Office, prefectures and municipal governments, and non-governmental organizations that promote local creativity to benefit their policy formulation, regulation adjustment, training of local creative talents, and how to overcome the rigid problem of policy implementation. change the mode of government resource injection, hoping to further understand the key elements of the implementation of Japanese policy, and use other mountain experience to expand the thinking and action strategies of domestic rural development.

In the process of promoting local creation, how to implement the central policy into the local implementation promotion mechanism plays a very important role. The "productive headquarters of Japan, a legal person of public welfare consortia" (hereinafter referred to as "productive headquarters") visited during this visit, undertakes the important functions of policy translation and the establishment of a connecting mechanism, in addition to providing consultation and assistance to local governments, as well as personnel training.

Aiming at the productive headquarters, this article explains how the local authorities formulate the "local comprehensive plan" and how it connects with the central "local creative strategic plan". As for the part of assisting "talent training", it will be described in detail in the next article.

Productive headquarters acts as a government think tank and provides consultants to local governments.

Japan productive headquarters, a legal person of public welfare financial groups, is an important non-governmental organization in Japan, which was founded in 1955 and plays the role of a think tank of the Japanese government. In the early stage, it was managed by the Ministry of economy, Trade and Industry, with industry as the main area of activity. At present, its main tasks and services are to conduct research and provide relevant information on issues related to the "socio-economic system" (economic policy, social policy, social welfare policy) and capacity enhancement, and to carry out seminars, research conferences, promotion, personnel training and other work.

Under the above-mentioned role tasks, the productive headquarters also provides consultancy, consulting and other services to local governments, so they have some understanding of its operation.

Chief Sato, who is the director of the Department of Business Development, explained for the author and his entourage that the relationship between the productive headquarters and the local creation policy came from an important report that began to assist in the study of "areas where Japan is likely to disappear." this report is also an opportunity for the subsequent emergence of local creation policies. After that, as the Cabinet Office began to promote the local creation policy, it continued to be linked with the local creation policy.

Lijian City is an important producing area of chestnuts in Japan, but the aging population has led to an increase in abandoned agricultural land and a decrease in production. As a result, the city has set up an agricultural commune, which rents abandoned chestnut gardens for management and provides tourists with experiences. gradually restore the output of chestnuts in Kasumi City. At the same time, picking up chestnuts still depends on manpower, so the municipal government is also actively cooperating with private units to develop chestnut-related agricultural machinery to reduce dependence on labor.
