About the founder

Tomoa Ishihara
Founder · Four Circles Japan

Born in Takayama, raised in Tokyo. Every school holiday (first day to last) was spent here. In a real sense, I was raised by Takayama.

After a decade in tech, in international roles, I started this project three years ago with my family, to give back, properly, to the place I love most.
