    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 Uruguay?

Uruguay, located in South America, is a small country with a land area about half that of Japan and a population of just under 4 million. Its capital and main tourist city, Montevideo, faces the South Pacific, making it notable as a trading port, and it also offers numerous beautiful beaches for marine leisure activities.
Additionally, Colonia del Sacramento, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was once a thriving Portuguese trading port and is known as one of the oldest towns in Uruguay. The historic district, with many old streets still intact, is a must-see tourist destination.

Various things to consider when traveling to Uruguay.

Cash, cards and currency exchange
・For currency exchange, obtain US dollars or euros in Japan beforehand, and exchange them for pesos locally. Generally, exchanging for pesos in Japan is not possible.
・The local currency is the Uruguayan peso, but US dollars are accepted in most places like hotels, restaurants, and souvenir shops. Therefore, it seems unnecessary to exchange for pesos.
・Credit cards can also be used in Uruguay, so actively use them where no fees are charged. This reduces the need to carry a lot of cash, enhancing security.
Tips
・There is a custom of giving tips.
・Restaurants: Around 10-15% of the total bill
・Hotels: About 20-30 pesos for luggage assistance or room service
Public Safety
・Uruguay is known as a safe country with good security in South America. However, it is not completely free of crime, so caution is advised.
・Avoid actions that make you an easy target for crime, such as going out alone at night, sleeping on buses or public transport, forgetting to zip your bag, or using your phone while walking.
Clothing
・The average temperature is around 20°C, making the climate mild and comfortable even at night, so summer clothing is sufficient. However, in highlands, temperature variations occur, so having a cardigan or long-sleeved shirt is convenient.
・Guiana Highlands: The weather changes rapidly, so rain gear or a raincoat is essential.
・Caribbean: The sunlight is very strong and there are few shaded areas, so bring sunglasses or hats for sun protection.
Things You Should Bring
• Items such as stomach remedies, cold medicine, a mobile battery charger, insect repellent, and sun protection supplies.
Visa availability and arrangements
・Japanese nationals do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days for tourism, business, diplomatic, or official purposes. However, your passport must be valid for at least six months upon entry.
Required vaccinations
・There are no mandatory requirements for travel. However, rabies vaccination is recommended.
