Expo 2025: A Look Back at Transformative Experiences and Forward to New Possibilities

By | 未分類

Expo 2025 is around the corner, and it promises to be a tremendous occasion for international cultural exchange, with people from over 150 countries descending on Osaka for a span of six months. 🌏

One of my company’s wonderful female staff members has a nostalgic connection to the 1970 Osaka Expo. As a young woman, she took a part-time job at the Canadian Pavilion. She was so well-regarded by the Pavilion Director that he invited her to visit Canada, a trip she fondly remembers to this day. 🇨🇦🇯🇵

She’s now over 70, a grandmother, and still speaks with excitement about her youth and the indelible memories formed during that 1970 Expo. The experience influenced her profoundly, encouraging her to learn English, meet her future husband, who worked for Singapore Airlines, and even live abroad. ✈️

Fast forward to 2023, and she’s bringing that international flair to her work as a housekeeper for diplomats at the Osaka Consulate in my company. At 70+, she still comes alive when providing services to international clients.

As we look forward to Expo 2025, I wish for nothing less than a similarly transformative and enriching experience for all those who will participate.

In the spirit of warmth and respect, we would like to address an important aspect of Expo 2025. The construction and operation of pavilions from various countries will involve the hard work of many international staff members, who will require suitable living accommodations. As such, there is a considerable demand for furnished service apartments.

We aim to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the real estate market in Osaka, with a specific focus on furnished housing. We will also delve into how the market is responding to the unique needs of international residents. It’s a fascinating intersection of culture, comfort, and practicality, and we are excited to explore this topic with you.

Please join us as we navigate this dynamic landscape, in anticipation of the truly international gathering that is Expo 2025. We are committed to fostering a sense of community and ensuring that all those who join us from abroad feel welcomed and well-accommodated.

Our Vision Statement

By | Vision

Dear valued customers, partners, and team members,

We are delighted to share a pivotal milestone in the journey of Dios Co., Ltd. – the creation of our Vision Statement.

Our Vision Statement reads:

“Dios aims to provide a warm, compassionate heart to all our customers and stakeholders through meticulous services, powered by our rich experience and expertise.”

In business, while it’s essential to provide products and services, we aim to be a company that offers something even more valuable – a ‘Heart.’ The term ‘Heart’ might seem abstract, and therefore, it must be embodied through specific products, services, and actions. However, we believe our focus should primarily be on the ‘Heart,’ rather than merely on goods or services. It is imperative that all our customers can feel our warm, caring heart through our products and services.

As Dios Co., Ltd. approaches its 30th term, I find myself reflecting on the three decades since I founded the company. In doing so, I have come to realize that some aspects of my past management philosophy were misguided.

In the past, we have provided excellent service to those who had a contract with our company while ignoring those who had chosen to work with other companies. I had believed that this approach was a natural part of business. But now, I have realized that this way of thinking must be eliminated from our future management policies.

Moving forward, Dios Co., Ltd. must offer a warm, compassionate heart to all our customers, all our employees, and all stakeholders, regardless of their contractual relationship with us. This is our Core Value.

As we take this new direction, we deeply appreciate your continued support and look forward to growing together in warmth and compassion.

With warmth,

Masahiro Fukai
CEO
Dios Co.,Ltd

Japanese Hospitality (Omotenashi)

By | 未分類

The Japanese “spirit of hospitality” or “omotenashi” in Japanese, is rooted in the Japanese aesthetic sense of simplicity, attention to detail, and a focus on creating a sense of harmony and comfort for the guest or recipient. These aesthetic values are deeply ingrained in Japanese culture and have influenced a wide range of Japanese art forms, including traditional architecture, gardening, cuisine, and tea ceremony.

In Japanese architecture, for example, the concept of “ma” (negative space) is an important aspect of creating a sense of openness and tranquility in a space. The use of natural materials such as wood, paper, and stone, as well as the incorporation of natural elements such as water and plants, is also common in Japanese architecture and reflects the importance placed on simplicity and the beauty of natural materials.

In Japanese gardening, the focus is on creating a sense of harmony and balance between the natural environment and the man-made elements within it. The use of rocks, sand, and carefully arranged plants and trees is used to create a sense of balance and tranquility, while the careful placement of water features such as ponds and streams adds a sense of movement and life to the space.

In Japanese cuisine, the focus is on the quality and freshness of ingredients, as well as the artful presentation of dishes. Seasonal ingredients are often used, and dishes are often prepared in a way that highlights the natural flavors and textures of the ingredients. The presentation of dishes is also an important aspect of Japanese cuisine, with a focus on creating a visually appealing and balanced meal.

Finally, in the Japanese tea ceremony, every detail of the ceremony is carefully considered to create a sense of harmony and tranquility for the guest. The tea room is designed to create a sense of intimacy and simplicity, while the ceremony itself is performed with a focus on attention to detail and the creation of a sense of peacefulness and calm.

Overall, the Japanese aesthetic sense of simplicity, attention to detail, and a focus on creating a sense of harmony and comfort is reflected in the Japanese “spirit of hospitality” or “omotenashi.” This sense of hospitality is deeply rooted in Japanese culture and has been passed down through generations as an important aspect of Japanese identity and way of life.
