*Yuma Takehara*
* Relic Co., Ltd. Business Creation Division and Saitama Base Manager * During my university days, I experienced the fun of working together with friends to complete a school festival event, and I wanted to become someone who can create their own business, so I joined Relic in April 2020. As I was involved in new business, I realized the appeal and potential of being able to solve new business models and various business issues, as well as make many people happy.
My desire to become more deeply involved in this project that “generates joy” grew stronger. Above all, I wanted to focus on Japan’s tourism industry, which can compete with the rest of the world, so I decided to become the director of my hometown, Saitama, and Kawagoe City, a famous tourist destination.

The former Kawagoe Branch of Saitama Resona Bank, a registered tangible cultural property of the country, was established in 1918 as the 85th Bank Head Office, and has been loved by the local community as a symbol of the area.
