Whatisitliketobeanambassador? Being an ambassador requires years of holding various positions, such as a foreign service for a period of more than 40 years. This is my second ambassadorship, as my first was in Cambodia and now in the Netherlands for two and a half years. The role of an ambassador is to meet the people and the politicians, visit cities and towns and look after the Japanese community in the Netherlands. The Netherlands and Japan have a strong, fascinating relationship, and it is lovely to be here.

¿Cuáles son sus experiencias específicas representando a Japón a nivel mundial y a los PaísesBajosenparticular?

Mis principales asignaciones en el extranjero en los últimos 40 años han sido en China y los Estados Unidos, ya que Europa es muy rara entre mis asignaciones. Mi mujer, en cambio, es de Holanda, por lo que llevamos casados más de 36 años, pero no habíamos tenido la oportunidad de venir aquí. Finalmente, llegamos a los Países Bajos y, como resultado, me convertí en el embajador de Japón en los Países Bajos, de acuerdo al arreglo del gobierno japonés Esto me permitió aprender y comprender cómo fortalecer las relaciones entre los gobiernos japonés y holandés.
