The town's name embodies the concept of "a place abundant in food," and it is renowned for its production of "Matsusaka beef", "Ise potatoes", and "Maekawa Jiro persimmons". Notably, Taki Town holds the distinction of being the first in Japan to have a restaurant run by high school students, actively collaborating with young people in the endeavor to establish a culinary hub.
Despite its modest size, the town is blessed with a plethora of region-specific resources, including the radiant Yataka Andon Festival, enchanting fireflies, snow-capped mountains, and 'snow rice' – rice preserved using the cold embrace of snow, preserving the fresh taste and aroma. The entire town is committed to advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a particular emphasis on harmonious town development coexisting with snow.

For income tax, you can receive a refund in as little as a few weeks, while for inhabitant tax, your payment will be reduced.
If you have filed a 'final income tax return', the deduction will be subtracted from both your income tax and inhabitant tax. Since you've already paid the income tax portion, it will be reimbursed to the account you specify when filing your tax return (the transfer usually takes 2-3 weeks for electronic filing or around one to one and a half months otherwise).
The amount of inhabitant tax isn't returned as a refund, but the Furusato tax payment amount is subtracted from the inhabitant tax due the following year. You'll receive a 'Resident Tax Determination Notice' around June of the following year after making the Furusato tax payment, enabling you to confirm the deducted Resident Tax.
If you're using the One-Stop Special Exception System, no income tax refund will be issued, but the entire amount will be deducted from your inhabitant tax.
