CURRENT MISSION

To know the island

ABOUT ME

I moved from Tokyo to Ishigaki island in this spring, and write a novel everyday.

Before then I did many things, read enormous books and travelled around Japan by bicycle, made some dance performances and worked in the museum of anthropology.

I've just wondered what to do in my life and tried everything sincerely. Thanks for many friends and synchronicity, I could find that is a novel. Now I explore the world of novel with beautiful sea and the breeze from south.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My flatmate told me CouchSurfing.

We hosted some surfers together in Tokyo and it was a nice experience to have dinner and talk with them. I was surprised to know I can communicate with non-Japanese people in such depth.

We talked not only social and cultural matter, but also private and emotional histories. I could see the scenery they saw and share some dreams and precious view of life, listening to their favorite music and drinking Japanese Sake.
