At Luxurique (www.luxurique.com), International Women’s Day represents far more than a date on the calendar. It is an opportunity to reflect on the values that shape our company and to celebrate the remarkable women whose talent, leadership, and dedication continue to drive our success.
Led by our visionary CEO and President, Naomi Mano, Luxurique has long placed equity and diversity at the heart of its culture, creating an environment where women are encouraged to grow, lead, and inspire. Their perspectives and expertise play a vital role in shaping both the company’s direction and the experiences we create
A Modern Approach to Gender Equality in Japan
While many companies in Japan continue to face challenges in achieving balanced gender representation in leadership, we are proud to contribute to a more progressive model. Today, more than half of our team members are women, many of whom hold positions that influence strategy, development, and innovation.
Supporting women in the workplace is not only a matter of social responsibility. At our company, it is also a driver of ingenuity, innovation, and excellence within the luxury industry. By fostering an environment where diverse perspectives are valued, we encourage collaboration and fresh ideas that ultimately benefit both our clients and partners.
This inclusive culture directly shapes how we deliver our services. From crafting bespoke itineraries for ultra high-net-worth travelers to organizing memorable MICE events for international luxury brands, as well as providing consulting services that contribute to the evolution of Japan’s luxury economy, every project reflects the insight and expertise of our diverse teams.
Guided by the spirit of Omotenashi, the philosophy of wholehearted Japanese hospitality, our ambition is to become Japan’s leading company supporting the luxury service sector while contributing to broader economic growth.
As Naomi Mano explains: “True innovation in luxury comes from a culture where everyone can contribute.”
Initiatives That Empower Women at Luxurique
We believe that supporting women extends beyond principles to concrete initiatives designed to encourage both professional and personal development.
Dedicated Women’s Spaces
Our offices will soon include spaces designed to support collaboration, wellness, and professional development for women within the company.
Flexible Work and Maternity Support
Tailored maternity policies and flexible working arrangements allow employees to balance family life with professional ambitions, particularly during the important stages of childbirth and early parenthood.
Mentorship and Leadership Opportunities
Through mentorship initiatives and leadership programs, women are encouraged to develop their skills and take on roles that shape the company’s future.

Diversity as a Foundation for Growth
As we expand internationally, we remain committed to building a workplace where diversity and inclusion are not abstract concepts but everyday realities.
Our approach extends beyond gender equality to include diversity of nationality, cultural background, and identity. By welcoming international talent and encouraging open collaboration, we aim to create an environment where every individual feels valued and empowered.
Through equitable leadership opportunities and professional development programs, we continue to demonstrate that inclusion is not only a social commitment but also a strategic strength that supports innovation and sustainable growth.
A Growing Luxury Tourism Market
In a rapidly evolving luxury travel landscape, adaptability and diverse perspectives have become essential strengths. Our commitment to inclusivity allows us to respond intelligently to the changing expectations of global travelers while refining the experiences we design.
This agility is particularly important as Japan’s luxury tourism sector continues to expand.
According to the Japan Tourism Agency and the Japan National Tourism Organization, Japan’s inbound tourism industry has continued to expand rapidly. International visitor spending reached ¥8.1 trillion in 2024 and increased further to approximately ¥9.5 trillion in 2025, setting new records for the country’s tourism economy.
At the same time, the segment of high-value travelers—defined as visitors spending more than ¥1 million per trip, has become a major driver of growth, generating a significant share of total tourism revenue and increasing demand for luxury accommodation, private tours, and high-end cultural experiences across Japan.
This strong momentum reflects growing global demand for refined, authentic, and highly personalized travel experiences. In this dynamic environment, companies capable of combining cultural insight, innovation, and diverse perspectives are particularly well-positioned to shape the future of luxury travel in Japan.
Delivering Exceptional Experiences Across Japan
Building on this dynamic market, we transform opportunity into unforgettable experiences through a trusted network of partners spanning Japan, from Hokkaido to Okinawa.
Thanks to these collaborations, guests enjoy distinctive cultural experiences, from traditional tea ceremonies and katana crafting to encounters with master artisans whose skills embody centuries of Japanese heritage. Every moment is carefully curated to be authentic, memorable, and exclusively accessible through our services.
Japanese artisans, artists, and cultural organizations offering unique culinary, cultural, or craft experiences are warmly invited to join our network and share their expertise with discerning clients worldwide. Contact Us
Expanding Through Strategic Partnerships
Luxurique has also recently entered a strategic partnership with Tokyo Broadcasting System Television (TBS), combining our expertise in bespoke luxury experiences with TBS’s media and content capabilities.
This collaboration further strengthens our ability to introduce global audiences to the richness of Japanese culture while delivering exceptional experiences to clients around the world.

Their leadership, creativity, and dedication continue to shape the future of Luxurique and the experiences we deliver. By empowering women and fostering inclusive workplaces, we hope to contribute not only to the growth of our company but also to a more diverse and innovative luxury industry in Japan.
