    In my previous role at a major travel company, I assisted Japanese expatriates and companies in South America.
    With the cooperation of many people from the Japanese community, I learned the unique business customs of South America and realized how challenging the country was, which inspired me to start a business that could provide the speed, quality, and meticulous service demanded by Japanese people.
    With over 10 years of experience in the travel industry in Brazil, I aim to be the only local operator capable of clearly proposing and explaining the intricacies of distant destinations from Japan, and I continue to study daily.

    Since childhood, I have been interested in other countries, and during my university days when I started earning money and even after entering society, I would think about where I wanted to go whenever I had free time. (I couldn't easily leave Japan because the money didn't follow, though...) There were times when I would only have a rough plan, clutching just a plane ticket, and set off alone from Narita.
    Currently, I am living in South America, something I never imagined. These days, I think, "You never know what life will bring."
    However, as I began living in Ecuador, I encountered Ecuador's wonderful tourism resources and crafts, and I wanted more people around the world to know about them, hoping it would contribute even a little to the country's development, so I knocked on the door of a local travel company.

What kind of country is Cuba?

Cuba, discovered by Columbus in the late 15th century and praised as 'the most beautiful island on earth,' is located south of Florida, USA, and is the largest island in the Caribbean, consisting of the main island and over 1600 small islands and reefs.
The emerald green sea and bright sun, along with the rich nature and colorful culture that create a Latin atmosphere, have always captivated travelers, both past and present. For a city walk, visit the old town of Havana, a World Heritage site, or Trinidad, and Santiago de Cuba, the holy land of Cuban music. For endless fun at the sea, head to Varadero. To trace the footsteps of the Cuban revolutionary hero Che Guevara, go to Santa Clara. If you have time, trying music or dance lessons can be an interesting experience. Also, when it comes to Cuba, rum and cigars come to mind. Enjoying a cigar with a glass of rum, once dearly loved by the literary giant Ernest Hemingway, during a leisurely evening is a blissful time unique to Cuba.
