| chapan-programs | Research and track Japanese relocation and rural-revitalization support programs for the Chapan Hokkaido mission — national (移住支援金, 起業支援金, 地域おこし協力隊, 空き家バンク) and Hokkaido prefectural/municipal. Use when the user says "chapan programs", /chapan-programs, or asks about relocation grants, subsidies, akiya banks, or revitalization schemes.

chapan-programs — relocation & revitalization program tracking
Tracker root: D:\Repos\Chapan. Dates = America/Los_Angeles. Goal: surface and track the national + Hokkaido programs that make a rural move feasible (grants, stipends, housing/childcare subsidies, akiya banks, revitalization corps).
Step 1 — Context
Read profile.md (family size, children, intended work/startup, current residence — some grants depend on where you move from) and programs/README.md + existing programs/*.md.
Step 2 — Research (official + portals)
Use search web + web_fetch + browser. Many sources are Japanese — fetch the page, then translate key terms. Priority sources:
- JOIN portal (iju-join.jp), Cabinet Office chihōsōsei (chisou.go.jp/sousei), MIC 地域おこし協力隊 (soumu.go.jp), Hokkaido gov (pref.hokkaido.lg.jp), CLAIR.
- Japanese seed queries in
resources.md(e.g. "北海道 移住 支援金", "地域おこし協力隊 北海道 募集 外国人"). Programs to track: 移住支援金 (Ijū Shienkin), 起業支援金 (Kigyō Shienkin), 地域おこし協力隊, 空き家バンク, Hokkaido prefectural support, and town-level child-rearing/housing subsidies.
Step 3 — Write/update programs/<slug>.md
Frontmatter:
type: chapan-program
program: <name (JP + EN)>
slug: <slug>
level: national | prefectural | municipal
locality: <area>
relevance: high | medium | low
status: tracking | applied | ineligible | secured
official_source: <url>
retrieved: <YYYY-MM-DD>
updated: <YYYY-MM-DD>
Body: what it is; eligibility — and explicitly whether an overseas move qualifies or it's intra-Japan-only (critical for 移住支援金, which historically requires prior residence/work in the Tokyo area); amount(s); conditions & clawbacks (e.g. must stay N years); application process & deadlines; relevance to this family; open questions.
Step 4 — Spin off & evidence
- A perk tied to a specific town → don't bury it here; open/append a lead via
chapan-leadsand link it. - Save raw search snapshots to
research/YYYY-MM-DD-programs-<topic>.md. - Distinguish national (uniform) vs prefectural vs municipal (the real rural draws).
Rules
- Cite
official_source+retrieved. Amounts/rules change yearly — mark anything not freshly confirmed UNVERIFIED. - Private data — keep in the vault.
