One Laplace, inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Taisei Ninomiya) is pleased to announce a complete redesign of its corporate website (https://www.onelaplace.com/), launched on September 1, 2026.
The new site is built around the theme of “quantum.” “The future is not fixed. That is precisely why anyone can shape it with their own hands.” The design itself expresses the company’s concept of opening up new possibilities through travel.
■ The New Site’s Theme: “Quantum”
Our company takes its name from the French mathematician and physicist Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749–1827).
Laplace argued that an intellect that knew the position and momentum of every particle in the universe could calculate the entire past and future with perfect certainty. This hypothetical intellect later became known as “Laplace’s demon.” If such an intellect existed, the future would be fixed: there would be only one possible outcome.
In the 20th century, however, quantum mechanics challenged this vision of a fully predictable universe. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle states that a particle’s position and momentum cannot both be determined simultaneously with exact precision. It rules out the complete knowledge of those quantities that Laplace’s demon would require. For us, this carries a deeper meaning: the world cannot be fully described by determinism alone. There is no Laplace’s demon to tell us what lies ahead. The future is not fixed.
We see in the rejection of Laplace’s demon a paradoxical source of hope. To us, a future that cannot be calculated holds infinite possibilities — possibilities that each of us can choose for ourselves. That is why we named our company after Laplace himself, expressing this paradoxical hope through the name of the thinker whose vision had been challenged.
The new site brings those infinite possibilities to life through its design. As soon as the site opens, countless particles spread across the screen like grains of sand. Each particle represents a future no one has yet observed, holding possibilities that have yet to unfold. What will become reality has not yet been decided. That is for each person who will live that future to decide.
Travel is at the heart of our business for the same reason: we believe that encountering the unknown through travel opens up infinite possibilities. Walking through an unfamiliar city. Encountering unexpected people and things. Moving more freely as we lighten our luggage. Travel is an act of shaping an uncertain future for ourselves. Through travel, One Laplace opens up new possibilities for each individual.
