Why Global "Youth" Bureau ?

"Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage
over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease."

We adhere to Samuel Ullman's perspective by providing "YOUTH" to our customers.​

It all began in 1966.

Our History Dates From 1966, When Foreign Countries Still Literally Meant Lands Far Away Across The Ocean.


Global Youth Bureau(GYB) has been one of Japan’s leading specialists in overseas travel for almost 54 years. In just two years after the deregulation of overseas travel in 1964, our predecessor “Europe Cultural Studies Association” was established in Kagoshima. 

beginning of Today's tailored tours.


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.

New and innovative approaches to travel as a means of
cultural edification.

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, GYB’s tour is designed to let travelers experience the unique flavor of the destinations at its very best.

2020 is the Age of Innovation.

Today, GYB 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.

13 Awards Received.

GYB won Outbound Grand Prix 2019 for "Staying at Relais & Châteaux Auberge".

The collaboration with worldwide group Relais & Châteaux had achieved by a relationship of mutual trust, not only by a reliable partnership between companies but also by the trust of our customers.
