First step for the next 100 years

We both studied and worked overseas, met there and lived there for some time. Tree is from Kyoto and Fox is from Tokyo. Tree's family manages a Tea House on top of the Inari -yama for generations. We have over 100 years of family history in the same place, Inari yama and the path built by our ancestors has brought us where we stand now. Are we taking the baton of the relay? Where would we want to take it in the next 100 years? 

Large percentage of the oldest companies comes from Japan and the oldest is in operation for over 1,400 years (a list of oldest companies). Toyota was founded in 1934, and it is only 78 year old baby if compared with those listed companies. Most of the red Torii gates along the paths in Inari-yama were built by the CEOs and directors of a company with a long history. 

What is in our mind at the moment is to utilise our experience and implement new to what we have and where we stand.  
Our mission is

  • To work for the community
  • To link people and share culture
  • To provide personal experience
and this is small but our first step forward.
