Medical check-up at the hotel
It was about 35 years ago.
I had just rebuilt the hospital in Ginza, and it had finally gotten on track.
The world was in the midst of the real estate bubble and the resort bubble.
I was taking on health checkup contracts from many major companies.
Many of these companies were planning golf courses, ski resorts, hotels, and sports clubs.
I started receiving multiple requests to open a branch clinic health checkup center from these companies in the Ginza area.
For the young man from Ginza, who only knew the urban jungle, this seemed like an interesting request.
As part of the job, I traveled with these companies to resorts around the world.
However, I never got any better at golf or skiing.
I was always interested in the future of rural towns, aiming to develop them into resorts.
If a ski resort was established in a rural area, people wouldn’t need to go to Tokyo for seasonal work during the winter.
By the sea, people could earn a year’s worth of income during the summer.
I was concerned about the issue of employment.
The aging population in rural areas was also advancing.
Rather than focusing on resort businesses aimed at young people, I noticed the growing demand for elderly care in towns with declining birth rates and aging populations.
City planning isn’t just about gathering young people from the city and getting them to spend money.
It’s about local young people taking care of local elderly residents and increasing the town’s tax revenue.
This was a version of regional revitalization through caregiving businesses.
Around that time, the system for elderly health care facilities was established, and long-term care insurance was being planned.
It wasn’t just about developing Ginza.
I also aimed to build care facilities in Japan’s tourist destinations, rich in nature.
This was something I was invited to by major companies; I would not have gone to the countryside on my own.
Coincidental encounters became a necessary part of my business management.
As for my life and the history of Koyama G, as you all know, it has been shaped by fate.
For breakfast, I’m planning to have Kimuraya’s anpan and rice balls. Blood sugar: 166
