    At my previous job at a major travel agency, I supported Japanese expatriates and companies in South America. With the help of many people in the Japanese community, I learned about the unique business customs of South America and realized how challenging these countries can be. This inspired me to start my own business, aiming to provide the speed, quality, and attentive service that Japanese clients expect. 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 confusing local details in these distant regions from Japan.

    place of residence Guatemala
    For 8 years, I gained expertise in planning, sales, and accompanying tours at a travel agency specializing in hidden gems in Japan. Afterward, I was captivated by Guatemala, which I visited on a single-day accompanying tour, and moved there alone. I worked in Guatemala for 10 years as a cultural and public relations officer at the Japanese Embassy in Guatemala. Building connections in Guatemala, I established a travel agency approved by the government tourism bureau in January 2004 with my husband, Shingo Matsumoto, to introduce the charms of Guatemala to more Japanese people. I have over 30 years of experience in the travel industry, holding qualifications as a travel business manager and a guide approved by the Guatemalan government tourism bureau. I will deliver the full charm of Guatemala and Central America!

    In my previous job at a major travel agency, I took care of Japanese expatriates and companies in South America.
    With the cooperation of many people from the Japanese community, I learned about South America's unique business customs and realized how difficult the countries were. This experience led me to want to provide the speed, quality, and meticulous service that Japanese people demand, which was the impetus for starting my business.
    Based on my knowledge and insights gained from nearly 10 years of travel industry experience in Brazil, I am studying daily to become the only local operator that can properly propose and explain the local conditions of places very far from Japan and that are difficult to understand.

    Since childhood, I've been interested in other countries. During college and after starting work, whenever I had free time, I would think about where I wanted to go. (Money didn't follow, so I couldn't go outside of Japan often...) Sometimes I would leave Narita with only a rough plan and an airline ticket.
    Now I'm living in South America, which I never imagined. "You never know what life will bring," I think these days.
    However, after starting my life in Ecuador and encountering Ecuador's wonderful tourist resources and crafts, I wanted more people around the world to know about them, and if possible, contribute to the country's development, so I knocked on the door of a local travel agency.
    The place on the other side of the globe, which you might think of as "far away," might feel much closer once you come. Let's forget the everyday and share new encounters and experiences together. I'll be waiting for you on the other side of the globe.

Cash, cards and currency exchange
Credit cards are widely accepted, but smaller shops may impose a minimum spending limit, such as 'only for purchases above a certain dollar amount,' or add a 5% fee to the transaction amount. Additionally, supermarkets and other establishments may require identification when using a credit card. In Belize, the main credit card companies accepted are VISA, MasterCard, and American Express.
You cannot exchange Japanese yen for Belize dollars.
There is no need to exchange money from US dollars to Belize dollars. In Belize, there is a fixed rate of BZ$2 = US$1, so you can pay with US dollars anywhere, regardless of the size or type of business. You can pay with a mix of US dollars and Belize dollars, and your change may also be mixed.
Exchanging Belize dollars to US dollars can be difficult or at an unfavorable rate, so it is recommended to use up your Belize dollars during your stay.
It is better to bring small denomination US dollar bills. Large bills may be refused because change cannot be provided.
Tips
Porter: 1-2 US dollars per piece of luggage
Tip for housekeeping: 1-2 US dollars per night
Driver: 10 US dollars per day
Guide: 20 US dollars per day
For optional tours, a tip of 5% to 10% of the tour fee is a guideline. A tip of around 1-2 US dollars may be considered rude, so please be careful. Guides see tips as a sign of customer satisfaction, so while it's not obligatory, if you feel you received good service, it's a good idea to have it ready in your pocket to give smoothly.
Restaurants, etc.: Around 5% to 10%
Some places include a service charge, but even if paying by credit card, it is customary to leave an additional tip of about 5% to 10% when leaving.
Public order
・Be very careful of pickpockets and theft, and avoid walking alone at night.
clothing
Throughout the year, wearing summer clothing as in Japan is generally fine. However, from December to February, temperatures can drop in the mornings and evenings, and some places may have excessive air conditioning, so having a long-sleeved shirt is convenient. Especially in places like San Ignacio, it can get chilly in the mornings and evenings.
The dry season is said to be from November to April, and the rainy season from May to October, but in recent years, prolonged rains have occurred, and there can be downpours even in January, so wearing a raincoat is convenient as it leaves your hands free.
Things to bring.
・Insect repellent
Insect repellent is sold locally, but it is strong, so those with sensitive skin should be cautious. Also, when visiting ruins and other places, there are many areas with a lot of mosquitoes. Lightweight long sleeves and long pants (light colors are less likely to attract mosquitoes) are recommended.
・Sun protection products
The UV rays are strong, so be sure to use sunscreen even on cloudy days. If you neglect protection, you may end up with swelling that requires a hospital visit, so please be very careful.
·rain gear
There is a high possibility of sudden showers throughout the year, so prepare an umbrella or raincoat.
Disinfectant wet wipes and spray
You can prevent food poisoning and other issues. Items such as gastrointestinal medicine, cold medicine, and mobile batteries are recommended.
Visa availability and arrangements
Japanese nationals do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days. Stays longer than 90 days can be extended within Belize.
Required vaccinations
There are no mandatory vaccinations required upon entry, but if entering from a yellow fever endemic area, a vaccination certificate is required.
