FUJIR is more than a travel agency specialising in travel to Japan.
FUJIR is the result of a passion I have for the Far East country and for Japanese culture, which I would like to share with you.
I decided to write blog articles about my travels to Japan, and what I have learned (and continue to learn) about Japanese culture and customs. As most people who have spoken to me or read my Blog articles have found, Japan is not just about the great metropolis and capital, Tokyo and the cultural capital Kyoto. Incidentally, what I love about Japan is its apparent contradiction, the difficult categorising or definition. Ruth Benedict already said in her work “The chrysanthemum and the sword”, Japan is a country of contrasts, where the traditional lives with the modern, where the mountain and the countryside are surrounded by sea and beaches, where you can try the dish more exotic or eating the simplest sandwich, and how far kindness and hospitality are hidden behind the shyness and shame of those who think they can't go wrong.
In order to lead more and more people to discover this side of Japan, I created, with my sister (who has a vast experience in tourism), FUJIR - Travel to Japan.
The name FUJIR came up with the help of a good friend, in a play on words between Japan's greatest symbol, Mount Fuji, or as it is called there Fuji-san, and the verb to Escape (that pronounces Fugir in portuguese).
Escapes to Japan are increasing year by year, but like most destinations that become fashionable, they begin to have an overcrowding of tourists in certain points, which often are not what we like the most, but which we feel- we are forced to see in Japan because they are commonplace. In these situations, FUJIR is the best solution. This is because we make tailor-made trips and depending on your profile, we create an itinerary together with you so that you can have the best possible experience, without the hassle of package trips.
We also have travel packages to Japan for those who prefer, but even these have differences from the others offered by the market. Come ESCAPE with us!
