Japanese culture to the people of France.
My goal is to be involved in the overseas expansion of the company I work for.
After graduating from high school, I worked in agriculture and part-time at a resort before finding a job at an anime store. Seeing the many foreign tourists who came to Japan with an interest in anime, I realized that Japanese culture was attracting attention overseas. I felt that I wanted to be an asset to the company by opening a new store in France, where there are many fans of Japanese anime, and at the age of 24 I enrolled in Kanda Institute of Languages. I even tried out the phrases I had learned on a French customer who came to the store and was complimented on my pronunciation. As for English, I also participated in a TOEIC? training camp and improved my score by 345 points from the time I entered the school. My memories are countless, but I will never forget my internship at the F1 Japanese Grand Prix held at the Suzuka Circuit. I wore a yukata (Japanese summer kimono) and was in charge of giving tours to spectators from all over the world so that they could experience the "Japaneseness" of the event. I was very moved when a couple I met at that time, who lived in Hawaii, came to my place of work later that day. We still keep in touch through SNS. Kanda Institute of Languages is a place where people with diverse backgrounds can study freely. Sometimes it is difficult to balance work and school, but every day I am happy to see that I am able to do more than I did yesterday. Language skills and the ability to take action on my own. I have learned them here and am steadily moving closer to realizing my goals.

She works for a tourism agency accredited by the French government.
We are transmitting local attractions to Japan.
The French Tourism Development Agency is the only agency in charge of tourism at the French national level, funded by the French government, local authorities, and general tourism companies, and is responsible for the promotion of tourism in France on behalf of the National Tourism Office. For example, we organize study tours for Japanese travel agencies to introduce French tourist attractions, and we sometimes participate as guest speakers at events organized by travel agencies to talk about the attractions of France. I am happy when I receive feedback from customers who have attended an event that they now want to go to France. It is also our important job to communicate the needs of the Japanese side, so we want to be a bridge between the two countries. I am often asked how to get a job where I can use French. My working holiday after graduation and my experience working for a travel agency led me to my current job. I think the best way is to acquire some experience with the language plus some other skills.
