The Kyoto Business Succession and Support Center (Kyoto Chamber of Commerce and Industry) will hold an experiential event titled "Mystery Solving Experience Tour: See Your Company's Future" on Thursday, June 25, 2026, specifically for business owners aged 60 and older.
Unlike traditional lecture formats, this event is a new attempt to visualize the company's current status and its image five years from now through a "mystery-solving format" where participants progress by answering questions themselves.
(Background and Social Context)
Business succession in small and medium-sized enterprises is said to take 5 to 10 years to prepare for, yet it is often postponed as a management issue that is "still far off." As a result, there are many cases where options become limited. This event aims to provide a "trigger for thinking" about such situations.
(Event Features)
In this event, participants simulate decision-making at management turning points by answering several questions. No specialized knowledge is required; by proceeding based on their own judgment, participants can objectively perceive the future image of their company. Furthermore, it is not a lecture format, and there are no presentations or discussions among participants, allowing for participation in a calm environment.

"Now, when nothing is happening, may actually be the timing when it is easiest to move." This event aims to be the "first step" for managers to face the future of their companies.
