VISION

I’m Akina, the CEO of CoCo.inc and the founder of Nomad University.
I still clearly remember the moment when I met “digital nomad” in Bali for the first time in my life in 2020.
Working from a poolside with a laptop, working with a swim suit holding a surf boat, Having a lap top and working from a bed. After seeing those people, the concept of “work” has completely changed.

I personaly have traveled around all Japan, 47 prefectures and 39 countries 200 cities around the world so far.
I launched the media “Nomad University” which people can get to know the lifestyle of digital nomads.

My vision is “Diversities through Stories” and providing the lifestyle of digital nomads especially towards Asian.
In Japan, I’m involved with workation business and inbound tourism especially bringing overseas digital nomads to Japan.
In the world, I share where and how to travel around Japan with overseas digital nomads.

I aim to create the world that each person can live their own lives.
