"In the midst of our daily lives, which are never at peace, it is important to reflect on the origins of human society by dreaming of eternity. Visiting various local areas in Japan and seeing the natural and man-made structures cultivated by our predecessors always reminds me of the weight of our nation's history. We must take pride in these and pass them on to the next generation. I believe that this is an important mission and role given to our generation. Travel design plays a crucial role in protecting precious cultural properties in local areas, connecting important existing history and culture to the next generation, and conveying the origins of this country to future generations. I have high expectations for this invaluable activity."
