The core of the “experience” that NOT A HOTEL values is not just architecture. The services and operational infrastructure that only people can provide, such as operations that interact with customers on a daily basis and customer support, are also important elements that shape the NOT A HOTEL experience. At the core of this is a software product that is completely manufactured in-house. Up until now, I have been developing management tools from scratch to control operations.

If you ask me, “What is the appeal of NOT A HOTEL?”, I would answer, “The people who create NOT A HOTEL.” In order to continue creating experiences that go beyond common sense, colleagues from diverse backgrounds have worked together while respecting each other. Members from various industries such as IT, finance, real estate,
architecture, food and beverage, and hotels form “one team” and work in the same direction to create one service. This is the culture that NOT A HOTEL is proud of. In order to achieve our mission of “NOT A HOTEL for everyone,” it is important for the organization to grow sustainably. I myself am extremely excited about this challenge and will continue to lead the HR field.

For the past 25 years, I have been exploring “Japan as a cultural leader” and “individuals and organizations active on the world stage” in areas such as art, music, design, and fashion. NOT A HOTEL is a company that creates architecture that brings out the best of Japan’s wonderful scenery, and we believe that we are a company that is bringing major innovation to the hospitality industry in the 21st century. At a time when tourists from all over the world are beginning to recognize Japan as perhaps the world’s most desirable destination, I am very excited about the challenge of communicating and expanding NOT A HOTEL to the world.
