Jarman International is delighted to have our recent seminar on “Nurturing Global Personnel” for representatives from Shizuoka Prefecture featured in the Sustainable Japan by the Japan Times Gallery for September. We are proud that our team of staff and JI Core 50 consultants continue to support regions with their globalization efforts as Japan looks to once again welcome inbound tourists and cater to the diverse needs of international residents in a post-COVID era.

During the seminar, JI Project Manager Paul Walsh spoke about “The Potential of Central Shizuoka and Strategies for Attracting Inbound Tourists,” while JI Partner Austin Auger focused on the topic of “Cross-Cultural Communication.” The presentations were followed by a lively group discussion where participants were given the challenge of coming up with an itinerary for a tour introducing local attractions.

Shizuoka is a high-potential region with many places that make for great visual content. We hope we helped many local officials develop a more global way of looking at things, and that they will apply what they learned as they develop and implement strategies for attracting people from around the world to this wonderful prefecture.

Every month since 2018, Jarman International has hosted a charity golf cup at EastWood Country Club in Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture, which raises funds for Mirai no Mori, a non-profit organization that offers fun, life-changing outdoor activities for marginalized youth in Japan. We are delighted to announce Hiroshima-based inbound tourism consulting agency, JizoHat, as headline sponsor for the August tournament.

About Common Grace

IMAGE: COMMON GRACE

Common Grace is a Hawaii-based initiative to help mentor highly vulnerable elementary school children. Volunteers from high schools and church communities volunteer one afternoon a week to play/do homework/talk with a child from an elementary school in their area. Teachers help select the children that need help and all mentors are trained and carefully vetted. This effort was launched after the Columbine shooting in Colorado with the aim of ensuring as many children as possible are not marginalized and left behind in their early years.
