About

Company Profile

Through the pursuit of our mission, “To share Okinawan culture widely, deeply, and accurately with the world,” we have realized something important.
This mission is not only an unchanging guiding principle for our company, but also, more than that, it is an essential driving force and everlasting engine for our growth and development.
With this in mind, we believe that preserving, creating, and passing on the uniqueness of Okinawan culture is the one universal path for our company to succeed not only in Japan, but also on the global stage.

At the Forefront of Okinawan Culture

Pursuing the mission to share Okinawan culture widely, deeply, and accurately with the world
means continuously walking at the forefront of Okinawan culture.

Under this mission, JCC has developed a wide range of businesses.
Today, our businesses include restaurants, hotels, bridal services, food manufacturing, trading, and content creation—
all of which have expanded as unique platforms to promote Okinawan culture.

To put it frankly, we consider Okinawan culture to be the most powerful and unparalleled “product” we offer.
We strongly believe that this uniquely creative Okinawan culture must be spread widely, deeply, and accurately.
That is our mission.
However, simply preserving and sharing traditions is not enough; Okinawan culture will be exhausted if we only do that.
We must also boldly embrace outstanding cultures wherever we expand,
and create an even more vibrant Okinawan culture through such fusion.

JCC will continue to walk at the forefront of Okinawan culture.
