    At my previous major travel company, I had the opportunity to take care of Japanese expatriates and corporate clients in South America. With the generous cooperation of members of the Nikkei community, I learned about the unique business customs of South America and realized how challenging these countries really are. This insight motivated me to venture out on my own, determined to provide the speed, quality, and meticulous service that Japanese clients expect. Drawing on nearly ten years of experience in the Brazilian travel industry, I continue to study diligently every day with the aim of becoming the only local operator capable of offering clear proposals and explanations about the often perplexing local realities—even in regions that are extremely distant from Japan.

    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 Costa Rica?

Costa Rica has a land area about the size of Kyushu and Shikoku combined. It faces the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Caribbean Sea to the east, with a series of 3,000-meter-class mountains in the center, including nine active volcanoes.
A quarter of the country's land is national parks and nature reserves, making it a nature-rich nation. As a leader in ecotourism, Costa Rica offers numerous locations where you can enjoy a wide variety of flora and fauna and breathtaking scenery.
In the central region based in the capital San José, there is the Poás Volcano with one of the world's largest craters, the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve where the mythical bird Quetzal, which inspired Osamu Tezuka's manga "Phoenix," resides, and the Arenal Volcano where you can see flowing lava.
The coastal areas are home to sea turtle nesting sites, and the waters, including Cocos Island, are among the world's top diving spots. Why not experience the rich and diverse nature unique to Costa Rica?
