On July 20, 2024, an innovative Tokyo-based media startup called PIVOT released a panel discussion about the growth of tourism in Japan featuring valuable insight from Jarman International CEO, Ruth Marie Jarman. The discussion included Ryan Takeshita (Chief Global Editor and Vice President at PIVOT) as the moderator and Teimuraz Lezhava (Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Georgia to Japan) as well as Takayuki Shoji (Rikkyo University professor) as fellow panelists.

The discussion covered a wide range of important topics including why Japan has globally become such a popular travel destination in recent years, and how locals as well as international visitors can work together to help minimize the negative impacts of overtourism (littering, congestion, damage to historical sites, etc).

The episode is now available HERE in Japanese on the PIVOT YouTube channel with over 1.95 million subscribers.

On May 14th, Jarman International CEO, Ruth Marie Jarman, sat down with Ryan Takeshita who is the Chief Global Editor and Vice President at PIVOT (1.6+ million subscribers on their YouTube channel) to record two podcast episodes (one in English and the other in Japanese) about a variety of Japan-related topics. From the concept of reading the air (a notable aspect of the Japanese communication style) and implications of the growing tourism industry, to what makes it hard to penetrate the local market, Ruth and Ryan dive into a discussion that will surely intrigue anyone interested in better understanding the business landscape in Japan.

With previous experience as the Editor-in-Chief of HuffPost Japan (22+ million monthly unique website visitors) for five years, Ryan knows how to masterfully tackle an array of subjects from art and culture in the digital sphere to sustainability, LGBTQ+ topics and gender equality. This combined with Ruth’s expertise in Japan’s inbound tourism and unique perspective as an American female entrepreneur who has been in the country for 30+ years, makes for a podcast that is absolutely worth a listen.

The English episode was published on July 17, 2024. You can check it out HERE.
