I'm now living in Osaka city but quite often I visit Kyoto city as well. Because of the contract I can NOT host anyone in my room (first of all it's too small) but I'm happy to be a GUIDE, or if you have any general questions about Japan you can ask me.

My interests are in agriculture, politics, religion, language, and anthropology.

People say I'm an honest, quiet, and respectful guy. Besides I'm also a backpacker (occasionally), so I know who travellers are like; flexible, limited budget, and exploring local places.

京都大学農学部の４回生です。１年のイギリス留学や１年の世界一周の経験があります。僕の家には泊めれませんが、ガイドや翻訳その他なら喜んでやります。いろんな人に会ってみたいので国内旅行でもカウチサーフィンを使うことがあります。よろしくお願いします。

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I had been travelling around the world since October 2019 and came back to Japan. Some hosts kindly hosted me via CS so it's my turn to help travellers.

世界一周中にあちこちで現地の人に助けてもらったので次は僕の番かな、と。ゲストハウスやネカフェも高いですし。

Interests

Any sort of academics, in addition to what I've listed above. I also like outdoor activities.

専門としては環境政策とか経済人類学ですが、宗教とか言語にも興味があります。アウトドアスポーツ全般も好きです。

• table tennis
• mountains

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visited 66 countries including North Korea, Turkmenistan, Iran, and Pakistan.

世界一周が終わった時点で66ヶ国に行きました。その旅行記は「ヤマダイスキーの旅日記」としてAmazon Kindleで出版しました。同名のブログもやっています。

What I Can Share with Hosts

You can ask me anything about Japan. I can tell you how we study, how we work, and how we live in Japan, though I don't have any working experience.

京大生のリアルな生活とか、僕自身のこれまでやこれからのエピソードとか。
