Purpose: This study examines the current situation and characteristics of reshoring, manufacturers return to Japan from their production bases that have been relocated abroad amid increased instability in the global supply chain due to factors such as COVID-19 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This study tried to figure out what kind of reshoring business attraction support policies are being deployed by the central government or local governments in Japan. Also the author tried to derive what implications these support policies have for Korea. Research design, data, and methodology: This study collects and analyzes the contents of previous research papers related to the Japanese government’s support system for attracting reshoring companies, statistical data from research institutes, press releases from media companies, and homepages of local governments regarding reshoring of Japanese manufacturing companies. Results: The Japanese government has executed various support policies at the central and local governments level to turn reshoring manufacturing companies into opportunities to contribute to the country’s economic regeneration and local growth, resulting in more than 500 companies returning to Japan annually in recent years. These results had the effect of creating new jobs in various parts of Japan, and the increase in local governments’ tax revenues led to the revitalization of the local economy. Implications: In order to induce a successful return to Korea for manufacturers wishing to reshor, policies that can provide unconventional incentives such as smart factory construction, R&D support, and corporate tax cuts for reshoring companies should be reviewed and prepared.
