Hello there! I'm Rintaro (凜太郎). Not going to party a lot but sometimes i just enjoy drinking with my friends and colleagues. I prefer a calm conversation to being in a big group. ※My flat is within 20 minutes from Shibuya station. But it cannot offer you a private room (it’s hard to find a two-room flat in Shibuya area). Check the photos in my profile. Thank you. I was working as a TV director until 2025 and now I work in the field of international cooperation. I’d appreciate if you send me a message after reading through my profile. (I don’t respond to copy&paste request and I might decline without replying when being very busy. Sorry in advance.) ⭐︎important notice: if you are a person who snores during sleep, it’s hard to host. I’d appreciate if you write in your request whether you are aware of snoring or not.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I went traveling abroad a lot as a university student, and many Couchsurfing hosts let me stay in their place, showing me around their cities and favorite places. These days I feel now it's time for me to give back to the world.
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: Drive My Car / True Detective Books: Sand, Wind, and Stars (Antoine de Saint-Exupery) / 1984 (George Orwell) / Kafka on the Shore (Haruki Murakami) / the Silent Cry (Oe Kenzaburo)/ 東京八景 (Osamu Dazai) I really like spending times talking about books! Music: Bob Dylan. I'm in awe of his lyrics. He is my one and only musician. But I also appreciate some other musicians like Beatles. Practicing Dylan’s and Beatles' songs by guitar.

Teach, Learn, Share
Share Japanese Food: I used to cook meal for my family on a daily basis so I can prepare simple Japanese food🍙 ⭐︎I’d really like to learn cooking from other countries. So if you can teach some recipes, it’s a big plus. Since my company conducts many developmental projects in West and Central African regions, I study French for my career🇫🇷 J dois étudier le français
