History of Travel

5. Why I started my own business?
July 2006
My wife was pregnant. I started thinking about becoming a father.
September 2006
“The last” travel with my wife alone to Finland and Estonia.
Suddenly, everything looked strange in Helsinki.
I wondered why I did not fully utilize experiences from traveling.
I strongly hoped that I want grow altogether with my children.
I decided to set up my own business to control my life and to
make the world a better place.

6. Take a look back
1994-1998
I founded 4 new social circles in my university days, not intentionally.
I have met so many people playing chess while I traveled in Asia.
1998-2000
I started working as a ‘paid employee’ and enjoyed freedom and unfreedom.
I found many Japanese ‘salaryman’ suffered from their daily life.
2000-2006
I changed my career, working at a startup company, as a freelance,
and at a exploding venture company
2003-04
MA degree in Peace Studies. A just a traveler became a traveler with MA.
Travel and various career enabled me to meet various kind of people.

9. Tabi to Heiwa
旅 と 平和
I hit upon the concept of “Tabi to Heiwa” in
2003.
Travelers can create peace.
MA Dissertation in Bradford:
Peace through Tourism

10. Definition
Travelers act and move on their own will.
!
Just visiting foreign countries is not enough,
and they don’t even have to go out for
abroad.
!
Travelers are curious and have a strong
passion to communicate and connect with
people and the situation.

11. Definition
Peace is not just about world peace, which
is vague for many people. We have to think
about peace from a tiny level around us.

12. Positive peace / Negative peace

13. To spread the idea
It is very difficult to change people’s idea dramatically
I met many dedicated people who always think others,
but at the same time I feel that ordinary
people usually do not care about what is
happening in the other area of the world.
Any way to change people’s daily behaviour?

14. To spread the idea
People
Eat3 times a day.

15. To spread the idea
Restaurant can be a place to learn.
If I have a seminar on peace, conscious
people may come…but…
Having a good time, enjoying a moment…
and the guests gain the information and knowledge
as a result.

16. paxi
paxi comes from phakchi in Thai language.
Coriander(English), Cirantro(Spanish), Dhanya(Hindi),香菜(Chinese)
Свежий кориандр(Russian), ‫(كزبرة‬Arabic)…
paxi = pax + i

17. Other reason to choose paxi
We don’t usually eat paxi in Japan
“Travelers” know about paxi, but others not.
I suppose paxi can be a good keyword to attract travelers.
Most of my ideas come from traveling experience, so travelers can
easily
understand what I am thinking.
paxi reminds travelers of their good days, or bad days
^^

18. Other reason to choose paxi
Everybody believes paxi is:
“ love it or hate it”
paxi is not like just a herb or vegetable… paxi is like India!
And… I need power from mass media to share my idea
with huge amount of people.

19. But many people
in Japan stop
their favorite
things in these
turning points.
Three great things in life.
∗ Getting a job
∗ Mariage
∗ Childbirth
It’s a pity…

28. PAX Coworking

29. Coworking is a work style, where people with different
professions and jobs get together to share the work place, and
share, through active communications, knowledge and
information for the betterment.
“co”＋“working”＝“coworking” → Working together
This kind of work style started in the USA in 2006. Lots of
people then called it “ a new way of working”. The fact is even
before 2006 there had been people who worked in “coworking”
style”. I therefore think that coworking is a global “new
movement” triggered by a new label, “coworking”, put on that
kind of working style.
What is Coworking?

30. Does coworking have a hyphen in it?
No !

31. ∗ Work experiences at a big company, venture businesses and as a freelance
∗ Why some people say “I’m fed up with this company”?
∗ I saw many people playing chess in the daytime along the roadside in Asia
∗ What is happiness or successful situation in life
∗ Guests meets by chance at paxi house tokyo, and start their business
together
∗ Is there any working place where 100 % of the people are smiling?

∗ And finally I found out such places already exist in the world!!

43. Coworking connection to the world
In July 2010, almost nobody knows about coworking nor Jelly.
I had the first Jelly next month, and little by little more people
got to know about this new way of working. 独
!
I was not sure if Coworking became popular or not, but I thoght PAX Coworking

world.
Beginning of 2011, I visited Vietnam and Taiwan, and gave advices to the Jelly
founder and potential coworking owners.
PAX Coworking was the only one which joined European JELLYWEEK outside of Europe.
