Our Passion

Born and raised in Tokyo, I worked for a foreign IT company after graduating from university. While working as a salaried employee, I was always fascinated by the fascinating climates of the various regions I visited during my vacation trips to Japan, but at the same time, I saw shuttered shopping streets and vacant houses, which made me feel a sense of crisis in the local economy.
Wanting to see if Japan, with its world-renowned tourism resources, could promote local economies through tourism, I left the company in March 2023, enrolled in Kyoto University's MBA program in Tourism Management in April of the same year, and founded this company in 2024.

Local residents x Tourists
Inbound x Domestic Tourists
Analog x Digital

In the tourism industry, which is faced with the conflicting issues of "analog" and "digital," creative problem-solving tourism, or tourism innovation, is required.
We are committed to solving the various problems facing tourism, such as labor shortage, low wages, and overtourism, and to reviving local communities.
