Japan is facing a declining population era. We have lately seen the growing phenomenon of reverse migration to rural areas, the process of “counter-urbanization,” as it is known. This counter-urbanization is recognized as a hope for many local municipalities because they struggles to maintain their scale of population. This analysis attempted to demonstrate economic effects of “Satellite office project”, a remote office in rural area in Kamiyama town through input-output analysis. It is because the project has contributed to increase migrants with information technology skills, which cannot been existed in the town before. The study also simulated future economic possibility of the Satellite office project with other major industries in the town.
