LUXURIQUE CEO Naomi Mano Named a 2026 EY Winning Women Finalist— Bringing Japan’s True Authenticity to the World’s Discerning Travelers
We are pleased to announce that Naomi Mano, Representative Director and CEO of LUXURIQUE Inc., has been selected as a 2026 EY Winning Women Finalist under the EY Entrepreneurial Winning Women™ (EWW) program, an initiative hosted by EY Japan (https://www.ey.com/en_gl) to recognize and support the business growth of high-potential female entrepreneurs.
Since its founding, LUXURIQUE has provided end-to-end bespoke travel services in Japan for the world’s ultra-high-net-worth individuals, handling everything from initial concept design to on-site execution. Having been involved in luxury inbound travel since 1998, long before "inbound tourism" became a widely recognized term, Mano has remained dedicated to deeply understanding the unique aspirations and interests of each individual traveler and corporate client, crafting one-of-a-kind Japanese experiences tailored exclusively for them. Rather than merely arranging itineraries, we create every journey entirely from the ground up. That commitment remains at the very heart of who we are.
Today, our primary focus is on sharing the hidden, intrinsic value of Japan’s regional areas with the world. From serene moments inside historic temples to the exquisite craftsmanship of artisans such as Wajima-nuri lacquerware makers, the world’s most discerning travelers are deeply moved by the profound yet lesser-known charms of Japan. Our mission is to spark these meaningful encounters and cultivate new value hand in hand with local communities.
We are truly honored by this recognition and view it as a valuable opportunity to propel our journey forward. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our clients who have placed their trust in us, our partners in Japan and abroad, the local communities who co-create these experiences with us across the country, and our dedicated team members who support our operations every single day.
Comment from Naomi Mano, Representative Director & CEO: "I believe that Japan’s true richness lies not in its glamorous metropolises, but rather in the distinct climate and culture of its regions, and in the hands of its people. Sharing this essence with the world with the utmost respect is the unwavering conviction I have held since the very beginning of my journey, and one I will continue to uphold."
Moving forward, we will continue to work closely with regional communities across Japan, our global clientele, and our international partners, accelerating our efforts step by step to share the true value of Japan with the world.
