CEO Masaru Kinoshita
Born in Kanagawa Prefecture in 1980, I graduated from the School of Sports and Health Sciences at Juntendo University and then studied in France for two years. Upon returning to Japan, I joined Seibu Travel and later JTB Global Marketing & Travel, where I was responsible for group sales for European destinations (mainly French-speaking countries) and promoting tourism in collaboration with local governments.
Manager: I have more than 10 years of experience in the tourism section of national and local government organizations.
I mainly worked on inbound promotion and building a local reception system. I joined KEN.Inc in 2024 and have been in charge of tourism promotion and consulting for local governments and DMOs.
My interest is to cook and play in nature. My motto is "Do my best at work and play."
Thank you.

MY Motto: Nothing is impossible, just do it.
Originally from Provence, I moved to Japan in 2017, a country I fell in love with as a teenager. After spending several years teaching French, I decided to join KEN Travel in order to convey my knowledge of Japan to French visitors. In doing so, I returned to the tourism industry in which I used to work when I was in France. Seven years have already passed since my arrival in Japan, and yet I continue to discover new aspects of this fascinating country that I, in turn, would like to share with visitors!
Hobbies: soccer, reading, metal music enthusiast, and avid record collector.
Incentive Manager: Originally from China, I arrived in Japan in 2012, where I joined the team in the same year. With a background in the telecommunications sector, I am responsible for company management and various projects (inter-company relations and seminars, MICE, educational, medical, and sporting events).
Favorite expression: "Every day is beneficial."
Hobbies: Pianist, enjoys traveling and tasting local cuisine.
