Itoki manufactures some of its products, including chairs, in Omihachiman City. Therefore, it has now been designated as a return gift as a local product. The ``Act'', ``vertebra03'', and ``nort'' that were adopted this time have high performance as work chairs, and can be used for remote work according to the situation at home. You can choose the most suitable product. As part of our efforts to contribute to the local community through industrial development, ITOKI aims to convey the appeal of Omihachiman City through hometown tax payments.

Comment from Omihachiman City

Omihachiman City is located almost in the center of Shiga Prefecture, and is dotted with national historical sites such as Oda Nobunaga's world famous castle, ``Azuchi Castle Ruins'', and built the foundation of Omi merchants, famous for ``Sampo Yoshi''. Due to this historical background, the city is a ``city steeped in history and culture,'' where landscapes with the elegance of each era are inherited today.

The Attraction Promotion Division promotes local industry through hometown tax payments, and aims to revitalize the city as a whole through sustainable local circulation. The hometown tax donations received from people all over the country are used for "childcare support" (medical expense subsidies, installation of children's playground equipment, mobile libraries, etc.), "education," "welfare," "local industry," etc. I am.
A chair made by Itoki, produced in Omihachiman City, has been added to the hometown tax return gift list. We hope you can create a comfortable work-from-home environment with this chair, which is packed with know-how cultivated through office furniture.
We sincerely appreciate the support from everyone across the country.
