T Point Japan accepted donations for the Shuri Castle Reconstruction Fund from November 1, 2019 (Friday) to June 30, 2020 (Tuesday) through the T Point Donation Service, which allows users to donate as little as one T Point, with the aim of helping with the reconstruction of Shuri Castle, which is cherished by the people of Okinawa Prefecture, where T Cards are used the most among the 47 prefectures. We received 11,504 donations from T members, donating a total of 3,133,166 yen in T points. 95% of the T members who supported us live outside the prefecture, such as in Tokyo or Osaka, and they donated T points from all over Japan towards the reconstruction of Shuri Castle.

Additionally, in cooperation with Kanehide Shoji Co., Ltd., which operates the food supermarket "Town Plaza Kanehide," and the Okinawa branch of Kirin Brewery Co., Ltd., we conducted the "Kanehide x Kirin Beer Cheers to a Bright and Cheerful Home! Campaign!" from Monday, May 11th to Thursday, June 25th, 2020, and donated a total of 31,500 yen worth of T Points to the "Shuri Castle Reconstruction Fund" through T Point donations.

As a result, we donated a total of 3,164,666 yen in T-Points to the Okinawa Prefectural Government. The presentation ceremony was originally scheduled to be held at the Okinawa Prefectural Government Office in August, but was postponed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Instead, we received a comment from Okinawa Governor Denny Tamaki.


Governor of Okinawa Prefecture, Denny Tamaki:


On behalf of the people of Okinawa Prefecture, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your valuable donation to the Shuri Castle fire recovery and reconstruction support fund.
Shuri Castle has been loved by many people as a symbol of the history and culture of Ryukyu and Okinawa, and as a foundation of the identity of the people of Okinawa Prefecture.
The fire that destroyed the main hall and other buildings of Shuri Castle has caused pain to the people of Okinawa Prefecture, as well as those from around Japan and overseas, who have offered warm support, which has been a great encouragement to all those who wish for the reconstruction of Shuri Castle.
Your donation will be used widely for the restoration and reconstruction of Shuri Castle.
With your cooperation, we will continue to work hard towards the restoration and reconstruction of Shuri Castle as quickly as possible, so we ask for your continued understanding and cooperation.

T Point Japan hopes for the early reconstruction of Shuri Castle, a symbol of Okinawa Prefecture, and will continue to work to create new social value, with the aim of T Points and T Cards becoming a tool that "connects people and society."
