About Me

ABOUT ME

I'd been working as a staff writer of a newspaper company in Tokyo for 20 years. Then I retired to be a freelance writer.

I've published some books about Tanka(Japanese traditional poem), poem and science, and so on.
I translated two picturebooks for children, "Greater Estimations"(Bruce Goldstone)and "Energy Island"(Allan Drummond).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

An American woman from Iran visited to my neighbour's house several days ago(7th August 2013), and they told me about couchsurfing as an amazing invention.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music so much. Debussy, Ravel and Chopin are my favorite composers.
Playing the piano is my best pleasure. I have a grand piano, so please come and play the piano at my house if you miss music in the middle of your trip.
