Hiroki Tachiiri moved to Armenia in 2017 with his family. Recently, he opened the Tokyooo restaurant in the center of Yerevan. He is also a co-founder of Leadership School educational platform. Hiroki also helps to establish socio-economic ties between Armenia and Japan, has written several books in Japanese about Armenia, and actively helps Japanese companies move to Armenia. Armenians and Japanese have some similarities and differences. It was interesting for me to find out from a representative of Japanese culture what surprises and what attracts him in Armenia.
