    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 Uruguay?

Uruguay, located in South America, is a small country with a land area about half that of Japan and a population of just under 4 million. Its capital and main tourist city, Montevideo, faces the South Pacific, making it notable as a trading port, and it also offers numerous beautiful beaches for marine leisure activities.
Additionally, Colonia del Sacramento, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was once a thriving Portuguese trading port and is known as one of the oldest towns in Uruguay. The historic district, with many old streets still intact, is a must-see tourist destination.

    Cash, cards and currency exchange
    ・For currency exchange, obtain US dollars or euros in Japan beforehand, and exchange them for pesos locally. Generally, exchanging for pesos in Japan is not possible.
    ・The local currency is the Uruguayan peso, but US dollars are accepted in most places like hotels, restaurants, and souvenir shops. Therefore, it seems unnecessary to exchange for pesos.
    ・Credit cards can also be used in Uruguay, so actively use them where no fees are charged. This reduces the need to carry a lot of cash, enhancing security.
    Tips
    - Tipping is customary.
    ・Restaurants: Around 10-15% of the total bill
    ・Hotels: About 20-30 pesos for luggage assistance or room service
    Public order
    ・Uruguay is known as a safe country with good security in South America. However, it is not completely free of crime, so caution is advised.
    ・Avoid actions that make you an easy target for crime, such as going out alone at night, sleeping on buses or public transport, forgetting to zip your bag, or using your phone while walking.
    clothing
    ・The average temperature is around 20°C, making the climate mild and comfortable even at night, so summer clothing is sufficient. However, in highlands, temperature variations occur, so having a cardigan or long-sleeved shirt is convenient.
    ・Guiana Highlands: The weather changes rapidly, so rain gear or a raincoat is essential.
    ・Caribbean: The sunlight is very strong and there are few shaded areas, so bring sunglasses or hats for sun protection.
    Things you should bring
    ・Stomach medicine, cold medicine, mobile battery, insect repellent, sun protection items, etc.
    Visa availability and arrangements
    ・Japanese nationals do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days for tourism, business, diplomatic, or official purposes. However, your passport must be valid for at least six months upon entry.
    Required vaccinations
    ・There are no mandatory requirements for travel. However, rabies vaccination is recommended.
