About Motoi Mori

Culturepreneur | Kikisake-shi (Sake Sommelier)|Revitalizing Japan’s regions through travel, food & storytelling I’m on a mission to turn Japan’s regional cultures and food traditions into meaningful journeys that energize local communities. From remote countryside towns to world-class restaurants, I work with partners who believe travel can be more than sightseeing – it can be connection, understanding, and regeneration. Over 30+ years in tourism, I’ve led multicultural teams, built cross-border partnerships, and launched new businesses across Asia and beyond. I bring together strategy, people leadership, and a deep love for Japan’s stories to design high-value, story-driven travel experiences for affluent guests. Along the way, I also support global travel brands and travel-tech companies entering Japan, helping them navigate the market and build sustainable, long-term partnerships.
