When she was a single mother working as an elementary school teacher, she was exhausted from caring for her son and mother who were suffering from mental illness, and she herself developed depression. During those days of despair, she continued to learn about the heart.
From there, I began working as a vocal song leader, teaching "food that leads to life" (Ai Gohan lessons), coaching...and I was introduced to the word "ikigai" (purpose in life).
IKIGAI Map is my purpose in life.

I had no purpose in life or dreams, but through coaching I was able to regain my true self, and after participating in an IKIGAI MAP workshop I became convinced that "smile is the panacea for happiness," and obtained a qualification so that I could spread this knowledge to many people. I am currently working to help people find the "purpose in life" that lies dormant deep within themselves.

I moved to Korea after working as a TV producer for over 15 years. In this second stage of my life, different from my time as a reporter in Tokyo, where I was always on the front lines of news reporting, I experience "ordinary happiness" every day with my husband and son. I want to spread the "IKIGAI" I experience in my daily life to the world.

She married into a family that runs a dried bonito shop that has been in business since the Edo period, and is a communicator of the "goodness and importance of dashi soup stock." She also studied nutrition and child-rearing from weaning to infancy. After studying positive psychology, she became an IKIGAI researcher. She is exploring the idea that all learning, from dashi soup stock to IKIGAI, is connected.

Message from the Developer
Hifumi Pro Coach Co., Ltd. Representative Director Akita Inami
Hello. This is Akita Inami.
I have been running map-making workshops for about 20 years.
In particular, many people are probably familiar with Dream Map®️.
"How can I make my dreams come true?"
Dreams come true by "visualizing with a strong sense of reality."
I have also drawn a Dream Map®️ and made many of my dreams come true.
I pursued my dreams greedily, with work, family, hobbies, and contribution to society.
What I did thoroughly to make my dream come true was:
More efficiency and less waste.
Then one day, I realized.
"My dreams have come true , but I'm not happy..."
So I reexamined my life.
"Efficiency and Elimination of Waste"
I realised I had a lot to lose.
It was about "tasting inefficiency and waste."
It's cheaper to buy vegetables, but try growing them yourself.
I can get things done by email or phone, but I'd like to go and meet them.
Then, among such "inefficient and wasteful" things,
I noticed that there were many shining "IKIGAI" .
Now I am:
Doing detailed handicrafts, growing plants,
In addition, two 270-year-old traditional houses in Iwamura, Gifu Prefecture,
While renovating with my friends,
I feel IKIGAI in the daily connections I make with my family and friends.
It's important to make your dreams come true,
IKIGAI is also important.
"The balance between dreams and life is life (= the greatest happiness)."
I came to the conclusion that...
What is your dream?
What is your IKIGAI?
Would you like to join us in drawing your dreams and IKIGAI at our workshop?
Why not take part in our training courses and spread your dreams and IKIGAI to the world?
We look forward to your participation.
