Thank you for reaching out to us! We're currently experiencing a high volume of requests so we may not be able to respond to all of them. Thank you for your understanding. Please read our profile before making a request. We only accept requests from those who have read it. We accept guests for stays of two nights or more. This allows us to have enough communication and understand the area better. ■About us We live in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, and had our first girl in 2019. This allows you to experience the local lifestyle of a young Japanese family. We have open minds and are always eager to learn and think innovatively. Naoko is 33 years old and work as Business Designer. Yutaro is 34 years old and work as IT engineer. Naoko loves interior design, aromatherapy, cooking simple and healthy sweets, and keeping the room tidy, while Yutaro enjoys drinking (especially Scotch whiskey and cocktails), cooking, and programming. instagram(Naoko): @naokohigashi_ instagram(Yutaro): @suica_versa ■About Room Our flat is located just a 15-minute walk from the nearest station (Matsumoto Station) Guest room is private and single bed. We do not smoke and kindly ask that you refrain from smoking as well. Please see `MY HOME` for details. ■About Fee Stay Free! *in the winter, there may be a request for contributions towards heating expenses. ■About communication We aim for a collaborative relationship to fulfill each other's purposes, especially in cultural exchange. What are you seeking in this cultural exchange? We share a Japanese-style breakfast (rice and Asian side dishes) with our guests, offered almost every day, but it's not mandatory. Some guests prefer to prepare their own meals like baking bread or making coffee or tea. Dinner arrangements vary based on schedules; sometimes, we dine together at home, and other times we explore nearby restaurants. Guests are also welcome to cook their local dishes! We frequently engage in discussions about Japanese culture, history, and daily life. Additionally, we often share our knowledge of Japanese cooking and language. ■Request matter My Child are learning in English and Global culture. But now she cannot speak in English. So she feels sad and lonely when we and guests talk in English. We are trying for her to build good communication. For her positive communication , please give a souvenir for kids which is from your country or things that make you feel the characteristics of your country. ■For your Message We love to meet new people from around the world! We take really `Why you're using couch surfing ` and your profile（such as accuracy,personality. No reference is OK) .We don't accept those who think just only CS as the free accommodation. As a secret word, say "Happy-travel" at the beginning of your request. Thank you for reading to the end. We look forward to sending a request from you! Naoko and Yutaro

Hi! I'm Ami. I was born and raised in Nagano, Japan. I work as an elementary school teacher. I love traveling abroad during long holidays and have visited 13 countries so far. Now, I’d like to give back by hosting travelers in my hometown, so I started Couchsurfing. I’m looking forward to meeting many wonderful people!

Hi! I'm Joa, from the Kingdom of Belgium. I'm a university student in my second year, and I've had some couchsurfing experience in Japan and Korea. I'm a native French and Dutch speaker, so you're welcome to practice with me if you want :) I’m currently studying in Matsumoto, my appartement being about 20 Minutes walking from the station and very close to Shinshu University. Now, I've always found it weird when you have to talk about yourself in one of these introductions, but here goes anyway: I'm outgoing, friendly and open to new situations. I have interests in anything, especially in things you are passionate about :) Besides that, I love linguistics and languages in general, philosophy (metaphysics & epistemology), music, just like every human on earth, reading, movies, watches,... I speak English, Dutch and French, and I'm just now starting to learn Korean. I've been learning Japanese for about two years now, so I can somewhat plow myself through daily situations. Also, the messenger of CS is really crappy, so feel free to add me on Facebook or any messenger app. I have them all. +32497865631

ちょくちょく旅行しています!　 起業予定でどこでやろうかと調べています。沢山の文化　人に触れあいたい　子供の世話を海外でしてました。介護や動物の世話　農業など様々な経験が有ります　経験や体験談を分かち合えたらと思っています。笑うのが好き　スポーツ大好きでなんでも挑戦したいと思っています😊　お茶のお誘い　宿泊も予約せずその場で近い場所に泊まる予定です たくさんの出会いがありますように☀️ 気軽に話しましょう! I have lived in England and Australia for 2 years. I've been to 70 countries.

I am a laid back guy, fond of traveling, cooking, eating, drinking (reasonably :-P ), boardgaming, meeting people from all over the world and movie watching. I moved around a bit, lived in Montreal, San Francisco and took a gap year to travel around but my home base is Lyon (France) where I studied and made most of my friends. I am software engineers because I need a job; it is interesting but not my passion. I don't smoke. I don't have pets. I have an amazing Japanese wife named Sayaka :)

Recently moved to this BEAUTIFUL CITY, Matsumoto in Nagano Prefecture, enjoying hiking and visiting historical sights. Running, hiking, and walking buddies are always welcome :) When it comes to accommodations, I must apologize that 1. I only accept female traveler 2. One person a day 3. One night stay only. My house is tiny and I only have ONE Futon available , and my work schedule is unstable so I cannot promise to let travelers stay for the following nights :(

ABOUT ME A Japanese PhD Fellow (international economic law) in the Netherlands. Studying and working very hard to make the world better through international trade (as in export and import). I am internationally open-minded and cherish my Japanese culture. While I am not a big fun of party, I’d love to have deep conversations on many subjects over cuppa. P.S. I’m currently not accepting CS guests. Sorry for that🙇‍♂️
