CURRENT MISSION
Exploring this world through CS

ABOUT ME

Hi, everyone. I'm an ordinal Japanese citizen and an engineer who works for a material mining company. I'm really interested in other countries and cultures which might be totally different to Japanese ones. It is because Japanese society doesn't have so much diversity. Everyday, I meet only "Japanese faces". I think human beings can grow up or change their views toward life/work when he/she encounters a whole new perspective. Actually I don't know what kind of things people in other countries think of, behave and discuss. Therefore, I decided to use CouchSurfing to meet and talk with people in this world . Exchanging views about cultures and lifestyles with other people who have authentic different backgrounds lead us, ---I mean both sides of us---, to the new next phase of thought, a authentically philanthropic thinking. Any way, I will welcome you to visit&stay my place. I am not a professional guide or in something like that job. So, I don't know so much about touristic information nearby here which the professionals are supposed to know normally. But, As a Japanese citizen, I think I can help you to understand Japan and its cultures through discussions.

Recently, I'm getting busier. So, Should I have business reasons such as business trip to Tokyo, important meetings etc. , I might decline your request at times even though we have some confirmed dates.

Please consider above points before you send me your request.
However, as far as time allows, I will do my best to host and meet you. I should mention my view to Couch Surfing. This is very personal opinion. But, please read at least once, if you would like to meet me. CS should be "a kind of spice" in a life since once we get used to surfing and hosting we could become boring to meeting new people. It might even become a burden to fit our local lifestyle into a traveller. However, These things seem to be avoidable if we consider spending time with a different person should be memorable...Still, we should be deeply immersed into getting new points of view from every corner of this globe. I have hosted more than 50 guests in my apartment room since 2013. Mainly there are two simple reasons. First, I have wanted to know more about your country and its people. We can, at least I hope to, keep in touch with each other by letters, postcards, Whatsapp message, or e-mail etc.. even after I host or surf. Second, Every time and everywhere I surf I was always moved by hospitality of local CS hosts. Some people kindly took me to local places (movie theatre, coffee shops, restaurant...) by metro, motor cycles or car although they were busy due to their daily jobs! Those two reasons of my core of CS motivation. That is to say I would like to get even with "giving and taking". In my opinion, this is an important way of thinking in order to maintain CS community.

PHILOSOPHY
Where there is a will, there is a way to proceed.
