Hello! I’m Sho from Japan – traveling the world on my 2nd world trip.
I’m not a sightseeing traveler — I travel mainly to connect with people, learn from local life, and exchange cultures.

• Currently traveling on my 2nd world trip
• I prefer staying with locals more than visiting famous tourist spots
• I enjoy deep conversations more than taking photos
• I’m respectful, tidy, and always punctual
• I love helping with daily life and learning from it

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because the best part of traveling is not the view —
but the people I meet and the moments we share.
I’d be happy to learn something from you and share something from Japan!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music is rock sound.
Movies are in the science fiction genre (Terminator, ET, etc.)
The book is a Japanese manga.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was able to participate in the All Japan Karate Tournament.
And I fought a guy who would become world champion a few years later.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook Japanese food.
I can also teach you karate.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I used to work as a ramen chef in Japan, so I can cook simple Japanese meals anywhere.
I believe food is the fastest way to make friends — so if we meet, I’d love to cook for you!
