Find your bucket list.
It is a state of mind. It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees.
It is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions.
It is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

Global has been one of Japan’s leading specialists in overseas travel for almost 55 years. In just two years after the deregulation of overseas travel in 1964, our predecessor “Europe Cultural Studies Association” was established in Kagoshima.
With the special brand of know-how and long years of experience, we offer overseas tours not only in Europe but also featuring a wide scope of destinations including Egypt, Greece, Morocco, and Tunisia. We also used to arrange some onsite training and home-stay programs such as agricultural study tours to learn the local dairy in Holland.
Ever since our inaugural European tour in 1966, our primary focus is providing the means to fulfill the objectives expressed in our philosophy. A philosophy that defines travel as an ongoing process of discovery aimed at promoting a greater appreciation of other people, cultures, and ways of thinking as an important first step on the road to international understanding and goodwill. Now and then, Global’s tour is designed to let travelers experience the unique flavor of the destinations at its very best.
Today, Global is no longer just a travel agency. We are to expand our business into a platform of the “Hospitality Industry” by forming a partnership with “Sun City” which provides the high-end retirement residence for seniors.
Under the current situation, we moved our headquarter to a brand-new office which is designed to avoid airborne infection so that we can secure a safe and clean workplace.
