Aggregate exports stood at 8.73 trillion yen for the year, a 15.2% year-onyear increase, while imports totaled 7.9444 trillion yen, a 10.7% jump.

When the service first began, only a few people a day used it, but now as many as 40 people are renting space every day, the majority of them men in their 30s. When asked why they are paying for a space that would be available for free in a library or in their homes, they said that in addition to the quiet, being in the presence of other people diligently pursuing their interests increased their motivation. 宮崎を IT 産業拠点化 Miyazaki Governor Plans to Make IT Center Miyazaki Prefecture Gov.
