She is now managing this small BOUTIQUE JTB Team with excitement and challenging spirit. She loves visiting unique and supreme Onsen Ryokan (Japanese Inn in hot-spring area) with her families whenever she takes vacations. Having a beautiful Kaiseki meal along with local Sake, followed by a relaxing bathing time in an open-air bath, overlooking natural beauty, and finally getting an in-room massage on squash Futon Bed; this is her utmost refreshing time which she would like to introduce to foreign visitors as one of Japan's most fascinating experience !

Satoko began her career in the travel industry as a tour coordinator specializing in overseas business trip at JTB. After 5 years experience of procurement service at a financial company, she returned to JTB in 2004, and joined BOUTIQUE JTB from May 2009. She loves watching stage performances, especially musicals. She is aiming to enjoy a stage at least once a month when time allows. Staying at a luxury Ryokan (Japanese inn) and a hotel has become her annual event for more than 10 years. She will make good use of her personal interests in BOUTIQUE JTB. Now she is considering where to stay next year.

Mitsuki is from Nagoya, joined BOUTIQUE JTB from July 2008. She has been to Italy to learn Italian language and its culture. She loves local wine and food, so she is used to finding and developing new products related to ‘local production for local consumption’in each land. Do you know we, Japanese, have an original Japanese wine? If no, you have to taste it in Japan with our local food!! She also likes modern & contemporary arts. When she visited Naoshima Island, which is very famous for architecture of Tadao Ando and contemporary museum, she got a strong impact from some of the works of great artists. Every time a exhibition is released, she goes to the museums in Tokyo to relax and get new information. Please ask her about the arts, local food and wine anytime!!

After joining the Inbound Section at JTB, Miwa has worked with travel agencies in Spain, France, Italy and other parts of Europe. Led by her interest in learning foreign languages, she majored in German in college and is now studying Korean by watching Korean TV shows and traveling often to Seoul. Another hobby is flamenco dancing! When she visited Andalucía, Spain, for the first time In November 2009, she was really impressed by the professional dancers. She thinks the biggest sales point of Japan is the Japanese people, who have retained their warm humanity towards others even while living in a modern, high-tech society.
