CEO Message

Solving social issues through Tourism

CEO: Kento Yamamoto
Thoughts on Entrepreneurship

Born and raised in Tokyo, I worked at a foreign IT company after graduating from university. While living a salaried life, I was often drawn to the attractive local cultures during my domestic travels. However, I was also confronted by shuttered shopping streets and vacant houses, which made me deeply concerned about the local economy.With a belief that tourism could be a catalyst for revitalizing regional economies in Japan— a country with world-renowned tourism resources— I decided to leave my company in March 2023. In April of the same year, I enrolled in the Kyoto University Tourism MBA program to learn about tourism management, despite having no prior experience in the field. In 2024, I founded this corporation.Through our tourism business, I am committed to solving social issues.
