Hi, my name is Moto. I was born and raised in countryside of Japan, and went to Tokyo to go university and learn commerce/English. After worked in international company in Tokyo, went to Thailand as a Japanese expat.

My character is bit shy like typical Japanese, but friendly and polite. I don't like to push my opinion to someone, and pushed someone's opinion to me. What I want to do is sharing what we can share, and understanding our differences. I don't drink alcohol. I like to talk with someone and thinking something in peace. I will be the most active in playing football.

As a guest, I promise I respect each culture, and rules. Thailand has many different points to Japan, but I deeply loved and enjoyed those differences. Let me know not only good point of your culture, but also week point.

As a host, I welcoming people from all country. My apartment is not so big, so maybe maximum 2 people can stay except me. I working at day time, so you need go out from my working time. I can guide and show you not only tourist spot but also real Japanese life if I have time at holiday. You can ask me anything you want to ask.

If you read above profile, please put "shinkansen" anywhere in your message.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was a child, I often thought the meaning of life. I loved my place, but strongly wanted to know how the world works. Now I getting old, but the passion inside me has never changed.
Feeling great nature, communicating other people, experiencing different cultures, seeing the world with eyes unclouded by hate, that is the way I learn the world. Couch surfing is one of the way to do it.
