Reason for changing jobs from previous job
I've always loved interacting with people. When planning a birthday party with my family, I would plan it with my brother, and the moment someone was happy was the happiest thing for me. As an extension of that, I had the desire to "do something for someone."
When I once again considered the values I wanted to cherish, I realized that I wanted to work in the service industry, where I would have deep interactions with customers, and so I chose to enter the inn industry.
In my previous job, I felt the happiest and most rewarding moment when a customer was pleased. The connections I made through exchanging letters with guests who stayed at our hotel were a precious asset to me. The connections I made with our customers gave me pride in my work and motivated me.
I started thinking about changing jobs when I was forced to take a leave of absence due to the impact of COVID-19. With the time I had, I began to reexamine my future, and for a year I thought carefully about whether I should continue working in the current environment or try Plan-Do-See (hereinafter referred to as PDS), which I had admired since my student days.
At the inn where I was working at the time, the style of work had changed drastically, such as welcoming guests and serving tea becoming self-service. I felt conflicted that it had become difficult to provide the hospitality that I really wanted to provide, and I felt a strong desire to "interact more directly with customers."
My first encounter with PDS was when I stayed at the Oriental Hotel during my student days. I still vividly remember the moment I was captivated by the sophisticated space and the cool, shining staff. No other company could surpass the excitement and thrill I felt at that time.
Although I felt the reward of hospitality in my previous job, I often felt that "if only the product was more like this...". At PDS, there is no compromise on the quality of the space or service, and I can provide products that I am truly confident in. I am convinced that I can further hone my service skills here.

What is the appeal of Plan-Do-See?
I feel that PDS Weddings have an absolute strength in the "soft aspects." By carefully understanding the couple's thoughts and feelings and carefully incorporating them into each and every step of the process and production, we are able to convey those thoughts to their parents and friends.
For example, the appeal of a PDS wedding is that it creates an opportunity for people to come into contact with "feelings they were not aware of" through the wedding, such as parents being able to share their feelings through the performance of "JUST FOR YOU" or expressing their feelings to a friend through "ONE MORE YELL."
The appeal of the building and the value of the space, which cannot be replicated anywhere else, are also major points. It's not just beautiful, there's a real story flowing through it. I feel great attraction and pride in being able to create a wedding in such a space, breathing life into it.
My favorite scene is the "First Meet". The moment before the start of the ceremony, when the couple feels a mixture of tension and anticipation, the groom is overcome with emotion and sheds tears. It's a precious moment when all the hard work they've put in to prepare is brought back to life, and it makes me think, "Okay, I'll do my best too."
What I find rewarding about my work
Since joining the company, my personality and way of thinking have changed significantly for the better. By coming into contact with the "essence" of PDS, I have learned the importance of always being grateful and treating people with love.
In my previous job, I was mainly focused on individual play, but now I have learned the joy of supporting each other as a team, and I feel that I am growing as a person in a culture where everyone is committed to working toward the same goal.
When I was promoting bridal fairs, I was encouraged by the words, "It's not about sales, you just need to deliver what you truly love," and this allowed me to make suggestions to customers in a natural way.
I am proud to be working at PDS, and I am surrounded by people I truly respect, and I have many colleagues who I am glad to have met. The environment in which we can grow together and improve ourselves is what makes my daily work rewarding.
I joined the company without knowing anything about weddings, but now, every time I'm in charge of a party, I feel glad that I've been able to deliver the value of PDS here.

What is your future VISION?
In the future, I would like more people to know about "THE GARDEN ORIENTAL OSAKA (TGOO)" and the charms of PDS itself. I believe that by interacting with PDS, not only at weddings but also at hotels, restaurants, and other venues, customers can experience a "rich time," so I would like to create opportunities for people to learn about PDS.
Currently, as the visitor manager, I think about measures every day to help customers learn about TGOO. I am happy when as many customers as possible visit, and I would like to be someone who can spread that excitement as a bigger wave throughout the company.
