For eight years, I acquired expertise in planning, sales, and tour guiding at a Japanese travel company specializing in hidden gems. After being captivated by Guatemala during a one-day tour, I moved there alone. In Guatemala, I worked for ten years as a cultural and public relations officer at the Japanese Embassy.
I built a network in Guatemala and, aiming to share its charm with more people in Japan, established a government-approved travel agency with my husband, Shingo Matsumoto, in January 2004. I hold qualifications as a travel operations manager and a guide approved by the Guatemala Tourism Board, with over 30 years in the travel industry. I am eager to fully convey the allure of Guatemala and Central America!
