Yutaka Yasaka

I wanted to become a hotelman, and succeeded to get a position in a hotel in Tokyo through my father's connection.

I have been working as a genuine hotel businessman for 32 years.

The jobs I have done are waiter, doorman, bellboy, front clerk, domestic sales, international sales, general manager and president.

The places I worked are Tokyo, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Hakodate, Hachijojima, Tokyo, Hakone, Tokyo and Nara.

I met many kind of people in many kinds of places and finally came to Nara 7years ago.

I spend days thinking about how to transmit the attraction of great countryside Nara now.

I was fascinated by the Nara International Film Festival since I think the word "international" fits to this great countryside of Japan.
