大谷 祐里佳 | Yurika Otani
Born in Fukushima Prefecture, I moved to Kyoto for seven years starting from university, and then relocated to Tokyo the day before starting my job. During my university years, I traveled all over Japan, discovering the charm of various regions and connecting with many people's passions. After graduation, I worked at a restaurant, spending my days surrounded by regular customers from the neighborhood and visiting tourists.
Over time, as my desire to not just offer a single product but to provide value in the form of options and experiences grew stronger, I began to think about what "space" and "community" mean. This led me to join Soil Work with an interest in creating communities that connect regions.
I want to create options that can bring a little extra happiness to someone's life, and I aspire to expand the circle of happiness. I continue to hold onto this broad and gentle dream.
