Konnichiwa and Hello! I'm Shohei.

Born and bred in Kumamoto, Japan. Moved our life base to Tokyo in 2016.
During our travels we have visited several European countries, parts of South East Asia and Australia.

Apartments in Japan are too small to accommodate guests, but you are welcome to visit and spend time together when you come to Tokyo.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people, learning about their backgrounds and exchanging cultures is a source of joy for me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving the comfort of my hometown for a new journey.
Visited as many as 20 Christmas markets during my trip to Europe for 2 months.
Spending New Year's Eve day in Berlin. It's different from our Japanese way, like someone making noise outside overnight, launching fireworks at the parking area of a supermarket. Those made me a bit concerned about our safety but memorable.
