(September 202 Singapore) Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) Singapore Office is pleased to introduce the new Executive Director, Mr. Kenji Yoshida. He assumed the new appointment on 12 September 2025. Mr. Takuya Shiraishi, who was his predecessor, is returning to JNTO headquarters in Tokyo. 

Looking Forward to Being in Singapore

"I am honoured to have been appointed as the Executive Director of JNTO Singapore Office, succeeding Mr. Shiraishi," said Mr Yoshida. I have visited Singapore twice before my appointment. Glad to be back in Singapore again, and I look forward to meeting and collaborating with -Singapore stakeholders.

I started working with JNTO headquarters in 2016 and was in-charge of digital marketing then. I was then transferred to JNTO Hanoi Office as Executive Director. Moving forward, I would like to use the acquired experience to contribute and establish friendly relationships between Singapore and Japan through tourism.
