Message

I have been practising [ a way of life in which you do what you love ] for about 30 years after leaving the 「Securities」company.

I want to ski, which I love in the best ski resorts in the world! That's why I set up a travel company specializing in European skiing and hiking.
Then I spent six months each year in Europe as an active guide.

In my career, I worked for three overseas companies, and has started five businesses at home and abroad (two wins and three losses).

The Travel agent I founded had to be forced to terminate in the 25th year due to the Corona Disaster.
I ran two Japan restaurants in Chamonix, France for 13 years. I arlady sold them in 2014.

As I live a lot of differently from others, I want to share my knowledge and experience. and I want that knowledge to be useful to many people. That's why I opened the school 'Tenshokujuku' - a way of life where you make what you love your job in April 2019.

「But, in these days」, when many jobs are no longer needed due to the development of AI,

Under the law that history repeats itself, we will learn the real history that does not appear in 「textbooks」 and will [predict the future] in the context of international affairs and the global economy, based on the difference between common sense overseas and in Japan.

What about Japan in the future? What will happen to the world? What jobs will be lost and created? How will values change? What do we need now to prepare for the future?

I hope that you will verify the hypotheses I have made with your own eyes and cultivate your own ability to predict the future and survive in turbulent times.

I am also developing 'Big Family Project'.
At a time when more and more young people are apathetic, depressed and withdrawn since the Corona disaster, I hope that by experiencing the sun and soil in the wilderness of Hokkaido and living with the world's best easygoing couple, they will become positive, cheerful and strong.

In order to bring out the unlimited potential of young people through this project, I talk about my experience of developing various businesses even though I have no language skills, financial resources, or business knowledge, and I pass on important theories for living to the members of Big Family Project.

If you think this, is it !, please contact us. Your future will be transformed into dreams and hopes!
