    Founded in July 2002 as the first shop in New Zealand to specialize in individual travel, before the term "individual travel" took hold. Before starting my own business, in addition to my experience working at a travel agency in Japan, I also worked as a local guide for Nikkei Travel Agency overseas and accumulated a wealth of experience in the field. We do not offer package tours or group trips. I consulted with a travel agency in Japan, but they didn't make the travel itinerary I wanted. We are a travel agency that operates locally, so we do not give such complaints. We carefully listen to the wishes of our customers one by one and help them with original individual travel that cannot be realized by travel agencies in Japan.

    Travel Agency License Confirmed
    Service area Cook Islands, New Zealand
    place of residence new zealand
    Languages Spoken Japanese, English
    I worked at a travel agency in Japan after obtaining the qualification of a general travel business handling chief for the national examination in Japan. After that, I went to Australia and worked as a tour guide, and then for the first few years in New Zealand, I worked as a tour guide in Queenstown, mainly guiding people to Mautcook and Milford, and guiding airport transfers. I moved to Christchurch in 2007 and since then I have been mainly booking and planning trips. In the past, I stayed in Queenstown for about two months during the ski season to guide ski groups, and I was in charge of the ski desk for ski customers. In 2012 I moved to Auckland and continue to work on travel arrangements and planning. I am also a mother of two children, so please leave it to me for family trips. Taking advantage of my experience of traveling to New Zealand as an individual and as a local guide in the South Island, I would like to think and arrange a schedule that can meet the wishes and requests of each customer as much as possible, which is unique to individual travel.
