- ・Kameido Tenjin
・Itsukushima Shrine - Benefit＞Justice？ Justice＞Benefit？
- 2 Major Methods I learned from History:
１．We can prosper thinner and permanently for benefit that is further away rather than going after the shallow benefit that is right in front of us.
２．Make a flow where we do our work for justice and benefit comes along at some point. - To do so, we cannot keep up with the mild content which respects the courtesy. It would not clarify unless it is a heavy content that shows the courtesy. Therefore, it is necessary to practice this while devoting ourselves to the history.

About Watch Collection
I think as for business, it is fundamental and universal to have the valuable knowledge, which is the feeling of time or in other words the feeling of speed. I focus on collecting wristwatches that are highly artistic or have original concept. I was motivated by the history of watch: wristwatches were started as articles for royal family and aristocrat.
About Glasses Collection
When you are talking to someone, the eyes are the first thing that you notice. The border and color of glasses that I am wearing will give other people different impressions, so I think glasses are an item that I change daily. Choosing different glasses to wear everyday is one of my enjoyments.
About Hot Spring Collection
I had many hot spring experiences in Japan by myself, but with the qualification of “Hot Spring Sommelier” I gain the chance to introduce specific hot spring. This qualification gives out advantages whenever I heard people reply to my introduction “It’s great that I learnt the correct way to get into hot spring.” “I became enjoying reading hot spring analysis table, because I can understand the quality and effect of the hot spring.”
Qualifications
‘Is it true that you are trying your best?’ Is this true?
I believe people all want to certain about what he tried made effort in a form that can be see. I believe that qualifications are true evidences just as facts are truth. The best way to face our company is not believe in me, but believe the same thing unrelentingly as what I am.
There are two types of ship license, normal and special. The existence of special is a mystery.
Actually, it is depends on whether the shape of the ship is like a normal ship or not. Jet skiing and water scooter are both belonging to the special group. I got two types of ship licenses now. My harbor is Yokohama Bayside Marina.
I drive the ship with my staffs in the 9th anniversary commemorate party.
There I often heard about the language culture of ships.
Attention! = To stop -> X
Attention! = To prepare for the next action -> O
This has been said as an old saying that was made by the mistakes of Japanese soldiers during World War II.
Rather than complete devotion to one side, it is important to have at least two directions of information so adjustment is possible.
Hot Spring Sommelier?
Is it Wine Sommelier? Normally.
Many people said this to me.
Many people have the misunderstanding that the job of Hot Spring Sommelier is to criticize hot spring severely. However, is a sommelier really meant to criticize? A sommelier is to promote and invite people according to the composition. In reality, Hot Spring Sommelier has to take a bath in the hot spring and then create an atmosphere for readers to want to take a bath in that hot spring. Hot spring analysis table is the evidence.
Where is a good Hot Spring？ I have always been asked by this question. Moreover, which ramen place is good? Is another question that people asked me often.
However, what is the value if I introduce a person who likes miso ramen to a shoyu ramen place?
That is the same for hot springs.
Some people like hot springs that are thick.
Some people like hot springs that are refreshing.
There are infinite varieties of hot springs.
We cannot give perverse judgment that all hot springs are the same.
Rather than complete devotion to one side by information from one source, it is required to view things from at least two sources and then analyze -> mining the source.
You must say it wrong; don't you mean a “Wedding Planner”?
I was often been asked by this question.
No, I’m not wrong. I’m a “Divorce Planner”. The separation of married couples. Although alcohol is forbidden people still tends to go high. Compare with other nationality, Japanese people tends to like to distinct things. Thus, divorce ceremony has become important.
People from strangers united to become family together by wedding ceremony. People from family go back to become strangers by divorce ceremony. The community that formed from the attendance of wedding ceremony is a valuable treasure. However, when the couple that is the core of the community is separating; the existence of divorce ceremony is important. So even the couple has divorced, the community can still exist. At a glimpse divorce ceremony seems to give negative image, but in reality it is a constructive and positive ceremony. Rather than complete devotion to one side by penetrating insight, it is important to view things from both negative and positive point of views.
