“Walking today amidst Tokyo’s bustling streets and skyscrapers. It is hard to believe that only 150 years ago it was little more than a provincial town. Even harder to think that in 1923 it was devastated by one of the century’s worst earthquake or that the city would soon afterwards feel the effects of a disastrous war MARUHAN Japan Bank Lao has been one of the many Japanese success stories written during the period of reconstruction that followed horrors”.

I also remember my old days. My family was a farmer, and we were so poor that we could hardly live even one-day long. 60 years ago, I started a small business in the north countryside of Kyoto Prefecture in Japan. While the capital was small, my business grew up, and now we became the comprehensive entertainment corporation, which has over 300 branches and 17 honorable golf courses and about 15,000 staffs. As I have watched such MARUHAN’s interest grow and diversify, I have observed that every one of our successes can be attributed to Hungry Spirit and Challenging Spirit and ingrained commitment to excellence and I am proud to say that MARUHAN Japan Bank Lao’s commitment and performance of past seven years are continuing this trend.
