【If you request to stay, Pls READ "My Home" section】 Hi, my name is Kiyo. I’m a Japanese male, currently living in Kyoto, Japan. I am open-minded and friendly. I hope you have similar value to me. Also, people tell me that I am very clean and tidy (Trying to keep up with the image of Japan ;) In 2026, I moved to Kyoto, Japan. Now, I work at a Japanese wood carpentry class as an instructor. The kind of carpentry you see in shrines and temples. I’m learning and teaching currently. I worked as a sushi chef in Belgium and the US before. I'd like to meet new people, and discover more! Thanks for reading my profile, I'm looking forward to meeting you soon! :)

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
When I was in Belgium (2023-2025), I've been so lucky and welcomed by like-minded hosts all over the world! :) So hopefully, I can pay forward the kindness that I’ve received:) I love meeting cool new people, and have a great discussion. I also love cooking and nice food. I often cook at people's houses too (I'm a former chef).
