For me, the meaning of travel isn't about how many tourist attractions I visit, but about the people I meet. I was born and raised in Nagasaki, a city with a unique exotic charm and an inclusive history. Because of this, I've always been curious about different cultures and have a relatively easygoing and sociable personality
About me: In my personal life, I'm quite quiet. I enjoy cooking (especially Nagasaki local Champon noodles and crispy udon!), practicing yoga, or exploring hidden cafes frequented by locals
I'm a good listener and I respect other people personal space no matter whose house I stay at, I treat it with the same care and cleanliness as if it were my own grandmother house

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Because I've found that after each trip, what fades first in my memory is often the appearance of the tourist attractions, while what remains is the memory of a cup of tea shared with a local on an afternoon, or a casual conversation
I'm from Nagasaki. Nagasaki has always been a port city open to the world, and this gene of "welcoming visitors from afar" is probably etched into my bones. I hope to continue this warmth through Couchsurfing not to save on accommodation costs, but to find a brief, heartfelt connection in this vast world
At 35, I no longer crave the thrill of a rushed, superficial sightseeing trip, I cherish the tranquility of sitting down and listening to stories. I want to create encounters that will bring a smile to my face even ten years later

音乐、电影和书籍

I have a narrow range of music tastes and I'm quite nostalgic. When I drive to the beach, I like to listen to Mr. Children and Radwimps. When I'm cooking or reading at home, I mostly listen to Aoi Teshima and Wool and Flowers on repeat. Recently, I've also started to enjoy listening to light piano music, such as the works of Professor Ryuichi Sakamoto, which are perfect for rainy days in Nagasaki

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

For ten years, I've maintained a "Saturday breakfast ritual." Every Saturday morning, I go to the Nagasaki market to buy the freshest fish and vegetables, then prepare a hearty Japanese breakfast. It sounds ordinary, but I've done it without fail for ten years
This has honed my bargaining skills and my ability to spot quality produce, and it's also taught me which tofu shop grandma gives away an extra piece of fried tofu at what time. I think being able to do something so simple and consistently, and find joy in it, is a wonderful thing in itself. If you ever come to Nagasaki and stay at my house on a Saturday, I guarantee you'll be stuffed for breakfast

教，学，和分享

Teach: If you come to Nagasaki, I can teach you how to make an authentic bowl of champon, tell you which fish cake is the best, teach you to order food in simple Japanese so you won't get lost in an izakaya, I can even teach you how to properly wash your hands and make a wish at a shrine

Learn: I want to learn the most authentic greeting in your language, the secret recipe for a signature dish from your hometown, and your perspective on the world. No matter where you are from, I want to learn something from you even if it's just your little tricks for dealing with leftovers

Share: I'm willing to share my tatami room, the sunset viewing platform in Nagasaki known only to locals, the beer in my fridge, and stories about this port city. I believe that when people sit down to share a meal, an afternoon, or a memory, the world quietly shrinks, and hearts quietly expand

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I would bring Nagasaki's famous Castella (honey cake) or a packet of authentic assorted noodles as a gift. If you have a kitchen, I'd be happy to cook you a simple Japanese home-style meal—miso soup, tamagoyaki—or tell you how to make ordinary convenience store ramen taste better
