About Me
CURRENT MISSION
see what ive never seen before
ABOUT ME
im working for a town/environment planning consulting firm in Tokyo.
I'm into urban culture from chaotic ones to posh ones, and cycle around the city to find them. if u are interested in weird part of Tokyo, I'm happy to help:)
PHILOSOPHY
i try anything i have never tried. maybe…
and i prefer to regret what i have done, to what i have never done.
so i enjoy try-and-error (and countless of errors) kinda life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
As a town/environmental planning consultant kinda thing, i want to know how non-japanese people find tokyo from their very own points of view. so at the moment I'm offering my couch to know how cs surfers see and perceive the city.
i used to offer my couch as often as possible no matter what sort of state i was in and no matter how bad the requests were. However, reasonably, now I'm hosting only when i feel relaxed enough to host, and when i receive motivating requests. so please dont send any copy-paste requests, as i dont think you have a chance;)
Interests
im into any sort of urban culture from high posh things to graffiti, fashion to naturism, architecture to ruins, or whatever. i like cycling, swimming, traveling, reading, and eating.

music: love to dance to soul and funk music. and always 90s japanese pop music rule.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
nature: fjord in norway (why not?) and coast line in australia (so powerful!)
rural life: scotland (i really admire how small villages preserve their own history and culture), Sado island in japan (simply, its my favorite isolated island around the world)
bath: sauna in finland (the public sauna in tampere is still my favorite), baths in germany (bad homburg… amazing), and hot springs in japan (yes of course there are countless of great spas all around this country!!)
city: i want to move to nyc, london, bangkok, berlin as i love these cities.
just as a tourist, wherever safe to walk around, not too expensive, and having its own identity is worth visiting for me:) i try to discover some amazing things there!
