Nakamori, "Japonya’da bir atasözü var: ‘Vadi ne kadar derinse dağ o kadar büyük görünür’. Son 6 yılda bizim sektör etkilendi ama 2025 yılından umutluyum. İstanbul’a robot teknolojili bir otel açmayı planlıyoruz. Şu anda 47 otel işletiyoruz, Marriot 48’inci otelimiz oldu. Türkiye’ye ciddi bir turizm potansiyeli olduğu için yatırım yaptık. Yatırımımızın kârlılığını 12 yıl içinde almayı umuyoruz. Bu yıl 2.5 milyar dolar ciro yaptık. Yatırım yaparken Dorak firmasına, Kapadokya’nın turizm potansiyeline güvendik ve çok hızlı karar verdik" sözleriyle yatırımdan beklentilerini de paylaştı.
