Our Vision

To create innovation by exchanging cross-cultural viewpoints
We believe Intercultural Awareness enrich our lifestyle and mindset. It adds colors to our life, opens doors of opportunity, and leads to extensive, dynamic growth.
We believe we engage in compelling conversations in a wider variety of settings, take advantage of opportunities that others shy away from, and think with an adventurous and open mindset that enriches people's lives and life experiences.
We also believer all of people in this world have their own interesting things to say, and to help express themselves well is our mission

Our Cross-cultural view point is based on both Logical Thinking and Accumulation of Experiences
When we start, we always think about what is positive and challenging aspects of communicating with other cultural people. This reminds us not only what the other culture is but also what our culture is.
According to Greet Hofstede Cultural Dimensions (Cultures and Organizations: Software of the Mind 2004), each country's some cultural dimensions positioned as below. With these studies, we understand Japanese culture's uniqueness and distance from other culture, and always try to find the best way for cross-cultural exchanges.
