■Full remarks from Wealth Management Co., Ltd. President and CEO Kazutoshi Chino
Thank you very much for attending today's opening ceremony of the Fauchon Hotel Kyoto.
First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all those involved and the hotel staff who have made such great efforts to bring this hotel to fruition. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has taken the time to attend today's ceremony despite their busy schedules.
The concept of our hotel is "FAUCHON Meets Kyoto. Feel Paris." After thoroughly enjoying the city of Kyoto, you can return to this hotel and enjoy a completely new stay, "tasting Paris" or "tasting Fauchon." The city of Kyoto actually has many things in common with Paris. For example, the Kamo River and the Seine, churches and shrines and temples, tea and the tea ceremony, French cuisine and Kyoto cuisine, etc. We have incorporated these many commonalities into the hotel's hospitality and design. We hope you will enjoy experiencing this one-of-a-kind hotel.
Finally, I would like to wish everyone in attendance good health and prosperity, and ask for your continued support and cooperation. With this, I would like to conclude my opening remarks on behalf of all those involved. Thank you for your time today.
