Interview

My journey into academia began inadvertently when I found myself tutoring my younger sister at just six years old. While teaching came naturally, becoming a professor was not a goal I actively pursued. Instead, a mix of personal and professional experiences led me down this academic path.

I chose Kyoto University's Tourism MBA without hesitation. Although it was a decision based on intuition, upon reflection, the reasons were as follows: 1: Location in Kyoto, a tourist city: I can commute from home (Osaka) and I expect synergies with my work in the tourism industry in Kyoto. 2: Tourism MBA: Since I run my own inbound tourism business, the fact that there is a tourism MBA that is highly recognized by the Japan Tourism Agency was particularly attractive. 3: Kyoto University brand: I had a sense that there would be many interesting classes, teachers, and students. I also had a kind of admiration for Kyoto University. The direct trigger for knocking on the door of the Tourism MBA was the COVID-19 pandemic. I started my business in 2018 but had hit a wall in my management due to trial and error, and I was thinking of learning management systematically. When the pandemic hit, I had more time on my hands, which was also a blessing in disguise.
