## Breaking the inward-looking status quo and actively creating peace
Currently, due to the economic environment and exchange rates, the recovery of Japanese people traveling overseas remains difficult. However, we strongly feel that we must break this inward-looking situation.
Experiencing the local atmosphere, the warmth of the people, and the overwhelming sense of scale with one's own five senses, which cannot be understood solely through news and internet information, and engaging in direct dialogue, is the most reliable way to deepen understanding among people with diverse cultural backgrounds and ideas. That is why we continue to create new opportunities for exchange between Japan and various countries around the world, including the large and diverse nations of India and China.

Learning to think for oneself while valuing "space" without rushing to conclusions. Through this program, we will provide an opportunity for junior and senior high school students to re-examine "what it means to live authentically" and discover new values.
■ **The power of "Oshi" (favorite person/thing) beyond borders: Rich private exchanges between Japan and China**
Between Japan and China, various events have occurred, and the tourism industry and exchange businesses have been affected throughout history. However, what we realize through our daily business is the strength of people's pure feeling of "liking" something, which exists regardless of politics or national borders.
