Recommended travel points

Enjoy the beautiful and majestic nature of New Zealand's South Island.

After arriving in New Zealand via Auckland, the first stop is Queenstown, which is known as a city worthy of a queen. Enjoy wine tastings at three wineries, lunch and wine pairing, and an adventure to the wine caves.

Next, head to Fiordland National Park, a Queenstown-based area.
Milford Sound, the highlight of Fiordland National Park, is a great place to take a cruise and get up close and personal with the wilderness.

Furthermore, head to the area centered around New Zealand's highest peak, Mount Cook. While trekking with a view of Mount Cook, please enjoy the scenery woven by glacial lakes and alpine plants.

In Tekapo, where the milky blue lake is popular, you will be soothed by the lupine flowers that adorn the lakeside, the stone church of the Good Shepherd, and the star-filled sky at night.

At the end of the trip, head to Christchurch, a beautiful British-style cityscape. Again, we will guide you to three wineries.

This is a recommended plan for those who like wine and world heritage sites.
If there are other activities or places you wish to visit, changes and adjustments are possible. By consulting with a local coordinator, you can create a tailor-made journey filled with personal excitement.

    Before the term 'individual travel' became widely established, we founded our company in July 2002 as New Zealand’s earliest specialist in personalized travel. Prior to launching the business, I amassed extensive field experience not only by working at a Japanese travel agency but also by serving as a local guide for a Nikkei travel company overseas. We do not handle package tours or group travels. Many clients have mentioned that when they consulted Japanese travel agencies, they couldn’t secure their desired travel schedules. As a locally operating travel agency, we avoid such disappointments by carefully listening to each client’s wishes and crafting tailor-made itineraries that conventional Japanese agencies simply cannot deliver.

    After obtaining the qualification as a Certified Travel Service Supervisor through Japan’s national exam, I worked at a Japanese travel agency. I later moved to Australia to work as a tour guide, and when I came to New Zealand, I spent my initial years in Queenstown guiding tours—primarily escorting visitors to Aoraki/Mount Cook and Milford Sound, as well as providing airport transfer services. In 2007, I relocated to Christchurch and shifted my focus to arranging and planning travel itineraries. In past ski seasons, I even stayed in Queenstown for about two months to manage the ski desk for ski groups. In 2012, I moved to Auckland, where I continue to specialize in travel arrangements and planning. As a mother of two, I am also well-equipped to handle family travel. Drawing on my extensive personal travel experience across New Zealand and my hands-on experience as a local guide in the South Island, I am dedicated to working with each client to design and arrange personalized itineraries that truly reflect their unique preferences—something that traditional Japanese travel agencies simply cannot offer.

    Before the term 'individual travel' became established, we started as New Zealand's first specialized individual travel agency in July 2002.
    Before starting my business, I gained experience working at a travel agency in Japan, as well as extensive on-site experience as a local guide for a Japanese travel company overseas.
    At Global Net, we do not handle package tours or group travel.
    I consulted with a Japanese travel agency, but they couldn't arrange the desired travel schedule...
    We are a travel agency operating locally, so we do not cause such dissatisfaction.
    We carefully listen to each of our customers' wishes and assist with original individual travel that cannot be realized by Japanese travel agencies.

    After obtaining the qualification for general travel business handling in Japan, I worked at a Japanese travel agency.
    After working as a tour guide in Australia, I came to New Zealand and spent the first few years working as a tour guide in Queenstown, mainly guiding to Mount Cook and Milford, as well as providing airport transfers.
    In 2007, I moved to Christchurch, and since then, I have mainly been involved in travel arrangements and planning. In the past, I stayed in Queenstown for about two months during the ski season to assist with the ski desk for ski groups.
    In 2012, I moved to Auckland, and I am still mainly involved in travel arrangements and planning. As a mother of two, please feel free to entrust me with family travel as well.
    Utilizing my experience traveling individually and my local guiding experience in the South Island, I would like to work together to create itineraries that can accommodate each customer's wishes and requests unique to individual travel.
