H.I.S.

H.I.S. (Hide International Standard) Co., Ltd. is a global travel conglomerate that offers a comprehensive suite of travel-related services, encompassing package tours, airline ticketing, hotel bookings, and resort operations. The company provides both organized and tailored travel experiences, aiming to make international travel accessible to a broad demographic. Beyond its core travel agency business, H.I.S. has diversified into related sectors, including hotel management and the development of leisure facilities, continually expanding its capabilities within the tourism industry.

The company was founded in December 1980 as International Tours Co., Ltd. by Hideo Sawada in a small Shinjuku office. Sawada's initial insight stemmed from the observation that overseas travel remained largely aspirational for many Japanese citizens, with only a small percentage engaging in it. His vision was to democratize international travel by pioneering the sale of low-cost airline tickets, thereby opening up global experiences to a wider audience. The company rebranded to H.I.S. Co., Ltd. in 1990, signifying both the founder's initials and a commitment to "Highest International Standards."

H.I.S. primarily serves individual travelers and groups seeking domestic and international travel solutions, ranging from budget-conscious options to more curated tours. The company's enduring mission is to connect people with the world, striving to bring new value to the travel experience and empower individuals to "unleash their feeling" through exploration. H.I.S. continues to operate with an adventurous spirit, constantly seeking innovative ways to facilitate global mobility and create memorable journeys.
