Hi, I am Shinobu.
Thank you for visiting my profile.

Now I own my business, the travel agency.
We guide many tourists to local places in Tokyo, where usually tourists can not find.
One of the reason why I could start this business is, because I had been helped by many Couchsurfers!!
I really love this community, and would be happy to help Couchsurfers visiting Japan^^

Unfortunately, now I can not host guests, but I organize many events connecting Tokyo locals to foreing tourists visiting Japan.
As I have traveled many countries(more than 50?), the best memories are always with the locals!

About me:
I was born in Tokyo, lived in Greece Until I was 14, and now I live in Tokyo with my family.
I love good company, wine, beer, cooking, reading, looking for nice restaurants, guiding people coming to Tokyo, watching musicals, and I really love traveling!!

I used to work at a recruitment agency in Tokyo for 17 years( so I may help you if you want to find a job in Tokyo),
and after left my job. I started traveling all around the world, as it had been my dream for a long time.
And now I own a travel agency and a (kind of )guesthouse, and helping travellers,

This is the profile of my husband:

We are looking forward to seeing you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting with new people, and learning more about many cultures.
My favorite part of traveling, no matter where to go,is the people I meet.
I love exploring cities, but the memories I cherish the most are of the people I met.

And also, I love to let people know my city,Tokyo.
There are SO many places to visit, and people to see!
I know it is hard to contact them when you come by yourself,
and I will be very happy if I can help you.
