Hi, I'm Yukiko from Shizuoka, Japan.

I live with my children and love connecting with people who value kindness, nature, and deep conversations.

I guide forest walks, collect wild herbs and mushrooms near Mt. Fuji, and create handmade crafts and fermented items. My daily life is full of small joys — birdsong, the smell of the forest, and the sparkle in someone's eyes.

I'm new to Couchsurfing and my English isn't perfect, but I enjoy learning and sharing feelings through gestures, smiles, and open hearts. If you're patient and kind, we’ll get along great 💫

Let's share tea, stories, or a quiet moment in nature.
Looking forward to meeting you 🌿

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people beyond borders and experience everyday life in different parts of the world.
Not just as a tourist, but as a human being — to share meals, stories, and silence.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music that makes my soul dance — like forest sounds, soft electronic, or healing music.
I love poetic movies and books that ask big questions, not just give answers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I gave birth to four children and raised them while living close to nature.
Each moment with them has been a miracle — wild, chaotic, and deeply beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to identify wild herbs and mushrooms, or how to make enzyme drinks and fermented foods.
I'd love to learn more about different cultures, ways of thinking, and music from around the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A calm presence, deep listening, and handmade herbal gifts.
If you're interested, I can also guide a simple nature meditation or forest walk.
