Our interview appears on Wellulu, co-run by ECOTONE, in which Hakuhodo has invested
On 28 September 2026, Wellulu, a media outlet on the theme of wellbeing, published an interview with Nakamura and Kodama of ArkAnd LLC.

Wellulu is run jointly by Media Engine Inc. and ECOTONE Inc., in which Hakuhodo Inc. has invested. For this feature we spoke with the CEO of ECOTONE and editor-in-chief of Wellulu, who spent many years in new business development at Hakuhodo, about building sustainable regions through lodging and tourism.
The article introduces the background to our founding, our experience producing lodging properties and the challenges facing the lodging industry, together with a view of tourism that enriches not only travellers but the people who live and work in a place. In the conversation we also exchanged views on the role creative work plays in conveying the value of working in hospitality, and on the possibilities for co-creation around the theme of wellbeing in lodging.
We value the connection made here, and through continued dialogue with ECOTONE and Wellulu we will explore new possibilities for co-creation in the lodging and tourism field.
