History of Travel

Why I started my own business?

July 2006 My wife was pregnant. I started thinking about becoming a parent.

September 2006 “The last” travel with my wife alone to Finland and Estonia.

Suddenly, everything looks strange in Helsinki.

I wondered why I did not fully utilize experiences from traveling.

I strongly hoped that I want grow altogether with my children.

I decided to set up my own business to make the world a better place.

Take a look back

1994-1998 I founded 4 new social circles in my university days, not intentionally.

I have met so many people playing chess while I traveled in Asia.

1998-2000 I started working as a ‘paid employee’ and enjoyed freedom and unfreedom. I found many Japanese ‘salaryman’ suffered from their daily life.

2000-2006 I changed my career, working at a startup company, as a freelance, and at a exploding venture company

2003-04 MA degree in Peace Studies. A just a traveler became a traveler with MA.

Travel and various career enabled me to meet various kind of people.

Tabi to Heiwa旅 と 平和

I hit upon the concept of “Tabi to Heiwa” in 2003.

Travelers can make peace.

MA Dissertation in Bradford: Peace through Tourism

Definition

Travelers act and move on their own will. !Just visiting foreign countries is not enough, and they don’t even have to go out for abroad. !Travelers are curious and have a strong passion to communicate and connect with people and the situation.

Definition

Peace is not about world peace, which is vague for many people. We have to think about peace from a tiny level around us.

Positive peace / Negative peace

To spread the idea

It is very difficult to change people’s idea dramatically

I met many dedicated people who always think others,

but at the same time I feel that ordinary people usually do not care about what is happening in the other area of the world.

Any way to change people’s daily behaviour?

To spread the idea

People Eat 3 times a day.

To spread the idea

Restaurant can be a place to learn.

If I have a seminar on peace, conscious people may come…but…

Having a good time, enjoying a moment… and the guests gain the information and knowledge as a result.

paxi

paxi comes from phakchi in Thai language.

Coriander(English), Cirantro(Spanish), Dhanya(Hindi), Xiancai(Chinese)…

paxi = pax + i

Other reason to choose paxi

We don’t usually eat paxi in Japan

“Travelers” know about paxi, but others not. I suppose paxi can be a good keyword to attract travelers. Most of my ideas come from traveling experience, so travelers can easily understand what I am thinking.

paxi reminds travelers of their good days, or bad days ^^

Other reason to choose paxi

Everybody believes paxi is:

“ love it or hate it”paxi is not like just a herb or vegitable… paxi is like India!

And… I need power from mass media to share my idea with huge amount of people.

But many people in Japan stop their favorite things in these turning points.

Three great things in life. ∗ Getting a job ∗ Mariage ∗ Childbirth

It’s a pity…
