Profile

Akemi Tatsuta

FOUNDER / Cross-Cultural Connector

Akemi Tatsuta

龍田 明美

Walk with the community, connect the people.

Drawing on the communication and broadcasting skills built as a radio personality and sports MC at venues across Japan, Akemi connects Japan and Indonesia.

It all started with a love of cycling and Indonesia.

Riding through the land, meeting people and experiencing local culture and daily life — through these activities she was invited to FAM trips by the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in Osaka and the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism, sharing the appeal of regions across Indonesia with Japan.

She was later selected as a Japanese member of the marketing tour run by Indonesia's Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, invited on site alongside the Korean team to lead tourism promotion for the Japanese market.

Having studied Indonesian language and culture at Gadjah Mada University (UGM) in Yogyakarta while living locally, she draws on the network she built there to connect people and regions across tourism, sports, creative work, local communities and business.
