I retired from work and started working on digital art

For my digital art activities, I stayed in guesthouses all over Japan and received a lot of energy from young people all over the world

That experience led me to start Couchsurfing
I am a 60 year old man

Now that I'm retired, I can drive you around to show you tourist spots on days when I don't have anything scheduled

I live in Yame City, a land rich in nature in Fukuoka
Yame City is a wonderful place where abundant nature still remains

The matcha sweets in this tea-producing region are absolutely delicious
The freshly brewed tea has a wonderful aroma and is many times more delicious than the tea you drink in the city

There is a hot spring resort about a 10 minute walk away where you can drink craft beer and eat delicious local food

There is a lot of beautiful nature, like the Ghibli forest and just a short drive away, there is a bronze statue of One Piece in Kumamoto

I can only speak a little English, but modern technology helps me. Come and join us on our adventure

I only speak a little English, but the latest technology, an AI translator, helps me

Come and adventure in this authentic old part of Japan, where few people speak English and there are few foreign tourists
We will give you the best experience you can't experience in the city

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel for digital art and receive energy from many international travelers

Now I started this project because I wanted to give gifts to travelers all over the world

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rural supermarkets offer fresh, delicious produce because producers bring it directly to the store

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to study languages from various countries

I can say that I can offer rare dishes that you can't get in the city

We can teach you about beautiful scenery and nature

I would also like to know about some wonderful places in the world

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hot springs, the best craft beer, fresh and delicious food, and a great location surrounded by nature
