I am a university student studying social innovation in Nagano Prefecture, Japan.

Within Nagano Prefecture, I organize a music festival, now entering its third year next year. I enjoy living here, experiencing the warmth of people from many regions across Japan.

I love sports, especially baseball. I also enjoy listening to music. When winter comes, I look forward to snowboarding.

I look forward to interacting with more people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, travel is all about connection. I realized early on that the most memorable moments of any journey aren't the sights, but the people I meet. That's what led me to Couchsurfing.

I'm currently on a six-month journey with a clear purpose: to deeply explore regions of Europe while feeling the connection between people's lives and nature. My greatest interest lies in how the surrounding environment—forests, rivers, seas—intertwines with local daily life. What's your favorite park to experience the seasons? Where do you escape the city's hustle and bustle? These are the stories I truly want to hear.

I believe Couchsurfing is a two-way exchange. While I'm deeply grateful for any place to stay, I'm also happy to contribute. I aim to be a clean and polite guest, eager to share my culture. I'll teach you my country's alphabet and how to fold origami!

I'm here to share stories, learn a bit of your language, and build genuine human connections. If you're interested, I'd be honored to be your guest.
