My name is Yuichi. My guests call me Ichi.
Ichi means No.1 so I hope it's easy for you to remember my name.
I am a licensed English speaking tour guide.
I was born and have lived most of my life in Hokkaido.
I have a lot of experience working as a travel agent and guide.
I am sure I can make you enjoy in Hokkaido!
MY career is below.

2006～2013
I I had been working as a travel agent and taken Japanese tourists to other countries.
I have visited more than 60 countries all over the world.
There,I was treated with kind consideration by local guides and people.
Owing my good memories in foreign countries I have been thinking that I want to treat foreign visitors same way that I was treated outside Japan.

2013～2016
I had been teaching English in high school and studied how difficult to teach and spread English to the Japanese teenagers.
Then I had still have a dream to be a English guide.

2016～
I have been working as a English speaking guide.
I moved to Tokyo and guided my guests in Tokyo.
(Mainly Tsukiji market ＆ Asakusa)

Now
I came back to Hokkaido and I am working at travel agency and also as a English speaking guide.
I had a lot of guests and they enjoyed my tour.
I would like to show you their great review for my guiding!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was in foreign countries I was treated with a kind consideration by local guide and people.
I could feel very local atmosphere and try super local food which I could never experienced if I was not a tour guide.
I want to return my precious experience to foreign tourists like you!
You are always welcome.
Please let me know if you have a chance to come to Hokkaido.
