My youngest son, Fariz Azmir, CTO of Stealth Studio and his trusted colleague, Taufiq are looking for new business ideas decided to revisit Japan for eight days. They always consider Japan as a top-tier global travel destination, blending ancient traditions with futuristic innovation, renowned for its extreme safety, cleanliness and polite hospitality (omotenashi), is a cultural cornerstone. Fariz revealed, “Navigating the country is simple with Shinkansen (bullet train), which connects major hubs like Tokyo and Kyoto with incredible punctuality. From KL, we'll fly to Osaka known as ”Japan Kitchen" for halal food."

In support, Taufiq said, “Japan has consistently been ranked as a top global travel destination, recently voted the ‘World’s Most Attractive Country' for the second consecutive year by Conde Nast Traveler. The country offers a seamless blend of ancient traditions, creative technologies & futuristic innovation.” (www.cntraveler.com)

My family can still remember that beyond sushi and ramen, Japan is a food lover's paradise with regional specialties and the highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants globally in Tokyo. With yen currently at a favorable exchange rate, Japan has become significantly more affordable for foreign visitors.

From their business perspectives, Fariz and Taufiq, look-up at Tokyo and Osaka as prominent hubs in Japan for advanced 3D technologies, encompassing cutting-edge industrial applications, creative infrastructure development and immersive entertainment experience. Tokyo is a global leader in innovation, where they can find both advanced R&D centers & public displays of 3D technology. They're amazed Tokyo hosts the annual TCT Japan exhibition on 3D.

Fariz anticipated, “The future of 3D technologies is poised for revolutionary growth, shifting from primarily prototyping tools to integrated, automated, & full-scale production methods across diverse industries. 3D models are becoming central to augmented, virtual reality experiences, allowing immersive visualization and interaction. This is revolutionizing fields like the clients can virtually walk through detailed building models before construction begins.”
