About Gores Academy Japan Institute of Culture and Economics

Greetings from chairman

School establishment philosophy

Okinawa is an island surrounded by the sea. Creating an environment with neighboring countries about trade and traffic is important for the future of Okinawa. Okinawa has many common points with Asian countries i.e. Culture and climate. Okinawa becomes a southern gateway of overseas for international exchange and interacts especially from Japan and Asian countries. To understand and respect the other region’s culture, it will be the key to open the door of a new era. Those students who studied in Okinawa, became an ardent

Fan of Okinawa and promoting the good things about Okinawa. Not just learn the Japanese, but also the unique Ryukyu culture and environment, is significant to learn here in Okinawa. Accepted side of Okinawan people is also broadening of mind, obtaining the information, receiving the variety of favours, such type of exchange accumulation is going to Okinawa’s position in the world to consolidate.

An ancestor also known as `Lequio` or `Gores` in South- East Asia as their own spiritual culture, there is the cross-culture citizen who trust other as deep compassion. At the age of the voyage, now again it is time to establish a deep bond of trust with the South East Asian countries.

For that purpose, we established the Gores Academy Japan Institute of Culture and Economics.

～People who calls by Gores～

Okinawa has long trade prospered with East Asian countries. Culture is also influenced by its Deep relation with China. A merchant who came from South East Asia used to be called by Gores and were trusted very much. Not liking conflict, not having a weapon and loving peace is the history of gentle Okinawan people. We would like to welcome the international students from abroad who are proud of their own culture, deep thought and hospitality towards others.
