Hi everyone!

I am two times more energetic, three times crazier, have four times more friends, and ten times happier abroad! 🤣😁😍

My first language is Japanese, and my second language is English.
My best personal collection is touristic maps from cities I visited.

My hobbies:
1. Comics 📗
2. Ping-pong 🏓
3. Calisthenics 💪
4. Boardgames (Catan, Dixit, Chess, etc)♟️
5. Blogging about technology and life 🤖

I also like photo shooting (landscapes), jogging, cooking (Japanese, Italian, Mexican, Chinese), football, traveling, and hobby programming.

I grew up nearby Osaka for over 20 years.
I received B.A. in business from a Japanese university and M.A. in economics from a Canadian university.
After graduation, I traveled to Europe: Romania, Ukraine, Poland, Sweden, Serbia.

From 2014-2017, I worked as a school coordinator in Shibuya, so I am quite familiar with Tokyo. I also had a chance to travel to South Asian countries: Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand.

From 2017-2022, I worked as a software engineer at one of the most tech-geek companies in the Akiba area. I had a chance to travel around the Philippines, Malaysia, Okinawa, Kanazawa, Hiroshima, and Fukuoka.

From 2022 onward, I have been working as a software engineer focusing on big data at one of the fastest-growing companies in Berlin, Germany. I am keeping up with cutting-edge computer tech and mathematics. And then, I traveled to Norway, Czech, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Nertherlands, Spain, and Georgia.

My philosophies:
Carpe Diem 🏖️🍷

Don't cry, be tough!
Time is more than money.
Quantity matters more than quality.

My dream country to visit
Georgia❤️ but was achieved in Oct 2023🎉

Algo increíble que he hecho

I donated as much as my age times 1000 uah to Ukraine on my birthday in 2022.

I visited and stayed in Ukraine for a few months in 2013, and seeing their culture, traditions, history, nature, and vitality helped me find my life's meaning when I had felt lost of myself for a long time.

I plan to continuously support Ukraine 🇺🇦

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I used to be told that I am a Tokyo Wikipedia, as I know a lot of exciting places to go for foreigners.
My best suggestions so far are:
- Shibuya, Harajuku, Yoyogi area: Fujiya (Izakaya) and Yoyogi Park, Shinjuku Gyoen
- The Emperial Palace, New Marunouchi building, and Tokyo Station area
- Tsukiji and Ginza: Sushi and Egg omelette, Hamarikyu Gardens
- Ueno, Asakusa, Akibahara: several national museums, and parks, monja
- Nakameguro, Daikanyama, and Ebisu: Many nice cafes
- Roppongi for night clubs
- Tokyo Tower and Shiba park
- Fuji Q
- Oedo Onsen
