    Before the term "independent travel" became common, we were established in July 2002 as the first specialty store for independent travel within New Zealand. Prior to starting the business, I gained extensive on-site experience as a local guide for a Japanese travel agency overseas, in addition to my experience working for a travel agency in Japan. Our company does not handle package tours or group tours. Have you consulted with a Japanese travel agency but they couldn't arrange your desired travel dates...? As we are a travel agency operating locally, we will not cause such dissatisfaction. We carefully listen to each of your requests and assist you in creating original independent travel that cannot be realized by Japanese travel agencies.

    After obtaining the national qualification of General Travel Business Handling Manager in Japan, I worked at a Japanese travel agency. After that, I went to Australia and worked as a tour guide. For the first few years after coming to New Zealand, I worked as a tour guide in Queenstown, mainly guiding to Mount Cook and Milford Sound, and providing airport transfers. I moved to Christchurch in 2007 and have been primarily involved in travel arrangements and planning since then. In the past, I stayed in Queenstown for about two months during the ski season for several seasons to guide ski groups and was in charge of the ski desk for ski customers. I moved to Auckland in 2012 and continue to focus on travel arrangements and planning. As a mother of two, I can also handle family trips, so please feel free to ask. I would like to help you plan and arrange itineraries that best meet each customer's wishes and requests, leveraging my experience traveling independently in New Zealand and my experience as a local guide in the South Island.

    We carefully listen to each of your requests and help you create a unique, tailor-made trip that Japanese travel agencies simply cannot offer.

    After obtaining the National Examination qualification as a General Travel Services Manager in Japan, I worked at a Japanese travel agency.
    After working as a tour guide in Australia, I moved to New Zealand and spent the first few years working as a tour guide in Queenstown, mainly guiding tours to Mount Cook and Milford, as well as providing airport transfers.
    In 2007, I moved to Christchurch and have mainly been arranging and planning trips since then. In the past, I stayed in Queenstown for about two months each ski season for several seasons to assist ski groups and manage the ski desk for ski guests.

    Drawing on my personal travel experiences throughout New Zealand and my work as a local guide in the South Island, I strive to create itineraries that meet each customer's individual wishes and needs—something only a personalized trip can offer—and I look forward to arranging your journey together.
