Hi, my name is Kiyo.
I’m a Japanese male, currently living in Kyoto, Japan.
I am open-minded and friendly. I hope you have similar value to me.

Also, people tell me that I am very clean and tidy (Trying to keep up with the image of Japan ;)

In 2026, I moved to Kyoto, Japan.

Now, I work at a Japanese wood carpentry class as an instructor. The kind of carpentry you see in shrines and temples (Yesc Kyoto is great spot for this). I’m still learning.

I worked as a sushi chef in Belgium and the US before. I can cook something upon request.

I am also into Japanese calligraphy, so I can write your name with Japanese brush pen, upon your request :)

I'd like to meet new people, and discover more!

Thanks for reading my profile, I'm looking forward to meeting you soon! :)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

When I was in Belgium (2023-2025), I've been so lucky and welcomed by like-minded hosts all over the world! :)
So hopefully, I can pay forward the kindness that I’ve received:)

I love meeting cool new people, and have a great discussion.

I also love cooking and nice food. I often cook at people's houses too (I'm a former chef).
