How did you get involved in travel?

"During my time in banking, I often faced significant pressure. Travel became my way of escape and renewal. Whether it was jumping on a train to a local destination, discovering hidden gems in the countryside, connecting with people, enjoying a local food, or simply stargazing in the quiet of the night, these moments allowed me to step away from the everyday bustle and reconnect with myself.

Travel also played a vital role during my MBA journey. I organized a Japan trip with my Japanese classmates, bringing together peers from around the world. We shared sake, explored Kyoto, wandered through Tokyo, admired cherry blossoms, and shared conversations that bridged cultures and created lifelong memories.

Today, I have an opportunity of transforming my love for travel into a profession. I am deeply motivated to craft unforgettable journeys for people from all walks of life, offering them opportunities to immerse themselves in the beauty and joy that Japan has to offer."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"I will never forget the Japan Trek I organized as an MBA student. After COVID-19, the level of interest from my classmates far exceeded my expectations, with over 200 people applying to join. Naturally, planning the trek proved far more challenging than I had anticipated. In addition to crafting an itinerary that appealed to a diverse group, I had to manage logistical details such as communicating dietary restrictions to lodges, coordinating breakfast menus, drafting clear cancellation policies, and creating user-friendly booklets. Navigating cultural differences added another layer of complexity.

Despite the challenges, I successfully brought the trek to life, and the memories remain vivid. I still recall the breathtaking nighttime view of cherry blossoms from a Japanese cruise, the sake we shared, and the private wadaiko performance at the farewell party. The group photo we took with over 200 participants is a treasure I will always cherish."
