    At my previous job at a major travel agency, I assisted Japanese expatriates and companies in South America. With the support of the Japanese community, I learned about the unique business customs of South America and realized how challenging these countries can be. This experience inspired me to start my own business, aiming to provide the speed, quality, and meticulous service expected by Japanese clients. Drawing on nearly 10 years of experience in the travel industry in Brazil, I strive every day to become the only local operator who can clearly propose and explain the often complex local details in these distant destinations from Japan.

    Since childhood, I have always been interested in other countries. Even after I started earning my own money in university and later in society, I would spend my free time thinking about where I wanted to go next. (Though I didn’t have much money, so I couldn’t often travel outside Japan...) Sometimes, I would set off from Narita alone, with only a plane ticket in hand and just a rough plan.
    Now, I find myself living in South America—something I never imagined. These days, I truly feel that you never know what life has in store.
    However, after starting my life in Ecuador and discovering its wonderful tourism resources and traditional crafts, I began to wish that more people around the world could learn about them. Hoping to contribute, even in a small way, to the country's development, I decided to join a local travel agency.
    A place you might think of as 'the other side of the world'—so far away—may feel much closer once you visit. Let’s leave everyday life behind and share new encounters and experiences together. I look forward to welcoming you on the other side of the world.

What kind of country is Cuba?

Cuba, which Columbus discovered in the late 15th century and famously called 'the most beautiful island on earth,' is located south of Florida, USA. In addition to the main island, it comprises more than 1,600 smaller islands and reefs, making it the largest island in the Caribbean Sea.
The emerald-green sea and bright sun, together with the rich nature and vibrant culture that create the unique Latin atmosphere of the "Pearl of the Caribbean," have always captivated travelers, both past and present. For a stroll through the city, visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town of Havana, Trinidad, or Santiago de Cuba, the sacred ground of Cuban music. If you want to enjoy the sea to the fullest, head to Varadero. To trace the footsteps of Che Guevara, the hero of the Cuban Revolution, visit Santa Clara. If you have time, trying a music or dance lesson can be a delightful experience. And when it comes to Cuba, rum and cigars are a must. Enjoying a leisurely cigar with a glass of rum—once beloved by the great writer Ernest Hemingway—as the sun sets is a blissful moment unique to Cuba.
