** Able to host "Female" CS only **

And do not accept friend request without notice.

Thank you for visiting and welcome to my page.

I have to inform that I ”can not host male CS”
because my house is a share house, allows female only.
I am sharing a house with my female friend who does not speak English well.
So this is our CS host role that I(we) only take female CS.

I am Yuko, ARAFIFU(around fifty years old in Japanese) woman living in Yokohama-city, Japan.
Yokohama is famous as a tourist destination. Also as a beautiful port city near Tokyo. You can visit all Tokyo area and Kanagawa area from here, so I say this is one of the best areas to stay.
(Possible to make a day trip to TDL, TDS. Hakone, Atami area, too.)

I am a self-employed person working at a home office.
Mainly support business presentations, create e-learning systems and the other at my client office by project base.

Therefore, I can not accept host request 2~3 months ahead and fix the schedule.
Oh the other hand, I can host you even if it is the last second request if I am free or working at home.
Once we accept your request. I can support making your tour plan.

I want and need to know and communicate with you in advance because I host you as our house guest. Therefore I do not accept who have not written your profile, too.

Dinner and breakfast are available by request in advance. (Talk about the fee in advance)
Also, Japanese home cooking lessons in English are available when I have time. (Talk about the fee in advance)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Want to make friends all over the world and share good time and experience with them.

Also am wishing to become tour guide in the future, I have to take very difficult exam in advance.
So, think and support the CS plan is very good training for me. I really enjoy that, too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived the US for about a year. It was a special experience to me.
Met a special friend through CS. Great to have friends all over world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I learned basic Japanese Tea Ceremony, Japanese style flower arrangement and other Japanese culture.
I can share my experience if you are interested.

I was a tour planner before, so, able to support your travel plan.
Even if you are not going to stay our house, please do not hesitate to ask me.

If you have plenty time to shear with me(or us), I can teach you how to cook basic Japanese food.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My guest room is 4.5 Tatami-Mat room, which is traditional Japanese room.
Go to a small shopping street to get fresh Tofu, Fish, Vegetables and Meat together for dinner if you want to try.

You must think the room is small, but can experience Japanese life.

If you ask me and am available, I can teach some Japanese cooking.
