86 countries and would love to share stories.
I work for myself, from home. I do not work Monday-Friday, my schedule is very flexible.
Very athletic, I go trail running in the park near my house almost everyday.

I live in a more traditional style Japanese house. There is a huge very comfortable sofa, but also a guest room.
Often cycle to Japanese onsen (hot springs) from my house. Run around the lake near the house.

This is NOT in Tokyo center, and not really near the tourist places. It is very calm in this area.
35 mins from Shinjuku / Tokyo Center by direct train (500 yen each way).

I have a lot of space for a Tokyo home. It is traditional Japanese style. So Tatami mat floors and Japanese Futon style beds. I am pretty clean, not neat freak, but certainly clean guy, you should be too.

There are a few traditional Japanese Hot Spring (Onsen) about 30 min bike ride from here.
There is a rental bike station near the house.

Not your typical city guy at all. Usually you'll find me camping or skiing in the mountains.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Wouldn't it be nice to have some interesting company?
Happy to host guests from time to time. You never know who you are going to meet.

I'd like to meet some guys I wouldn't normally meet otherwise.
I do not really care gay / straight whatever-- that's your deal and NOT why I am here.

I'd like to meet people who have hobbies, deep knowledge experience etc that they can share.
I have lots of hobbies, very talkative and curious person.

Would love it if you could show me how to cook some dish or something, happy to make you a Japanese BBQ.
