<strong>Secrets behind the Success｜Naoyuki Honda</strong> "To live without being bound, you must take full responsibility yourself."

<strong>Secrets behind the Success｜Naoyuki Honda</strong> "I've gradually moved closer to my ideal self of 'living while moving' over about 15 years."

<strong>Secrets behind the Success｜Naoyuki Honda</strong> "As I pursue various businesses, I find it interesting how they mix and interact with each other."

<strong>Secrets behind the Success｜Naoyuki Honda</strong> "I titled my new book 'Less Is More,' and it's the phrase that resonates most with me right now. 'Less Is More' is a philosophy that having fewer things leads to richness, and that by having less, we become happier."

<strong>Secrets behind the Success｜Naoyuki Honda</strong> "Originally, I thought my experiences and environment were more important than possessions. It's about living more organically; acquiring many things doesn't lead to happiness. I've felt this more strongly over the years."

<strong>Secrets behind the Success｜Naoyuki Honda</strong> "For both work and personal life, my main machine is a beloved MacBook Pro."

<strong>Secrets behind the Success｜Naoyuki Honda</strong> "The accessories I always wear are from Chrome Hearts, of which I've been a long-time fan."

<strong>Secrets behind the Success｜Naoyuki Honda</strong> "As adults, I think challenging things gradually become fewer. We become proficient at many things, and the opportunities to take on challenges in truly critical situations disappear. Sports allow us to experience such situations daily, and by moving our bodies, new ideas emerge, boosting creativity."

<strong>Secrets behind the Success｜Naoyuki Honda</strong> "On turning 40, I seriously started triathlon in Hawaii."

<strong>Secrets behind the Success｜Naoyuki Honda</strong> "Work and play are equal; there's no boundary. That's why I'm always having fun. Conversely, I've decided not to do things that aren't like that."

<strong>Secrets behind the Success｜Naoyuki Honda</strong> "When both the initiator and the user enjoy something and continue it, it eventually becomes a business. I believe we're now in an era where our lifestyles themselves become content."

<strong>Secrets behind the Success｜Naoyuki Honda</strong> "My favorite in Tokyo is 'Sushi Saito.' I love eating, and although I eat all over the world, sushi in Japan is unmatched anywhere else. When I return to Japan, I want to go to my favorite sushi restaurant."

<strong>Secrets behind the Success｜Naoyuki Honda</strong> "Regarding food, the city that impressed me the most was San Sebastián in the northern part of Spain's Basque Country. It's a city of about 170,000 people, yet it's a 'gastronomic city' with three Michelin three-star restaurants, two two-star restaurants, and two one-star restaurants."

<strong>Secrets behind the Success｜Naoyuki Honda</strong> "Frantzen/Lindeberg in Stockholm, which I discovered during a press trip to Scandinavia. © frantzen/lindeberg"

<strong>Secrets behind the Success｜Naoyuki Honda</strong> "Frantzen/Lindeberg is a surprisingly casual restaurant for a two-star establishment. The cuisine is very simple, in a Nordic style, but it features surprising elements for the guests. For example, ingredients for bread appear, then they ferment and bake right before your eyes."

<strong>Secrets behind the Success｜Naoyuki Honda</strong> "I plan to travel even more from now on. To go to more places. For the past five years or so, I've spent about two months a year outside of Hawaii and Tokyo, but I intend to increase this proportion and visit more places, including those I haven't been to yet."
