I am a producer of a travel-guide website called Japanesquest. I create videos like below.

I am also a vacation rental owner who owns properties in Takayama and Kyoto. When I stay in my vacation rental house, I occasionally welcome CouchSurfers so that I can make new friends and listen to their story :)

More about me:
Below are the three phrases that describe me well.

Value Gentlemanship:
I have been told that the gentlemanship has died in the 21st century (is it true?). Still, I like to behave as a gentleman. I like to open doors and walk on the curbside.

Conversation over Parties:
I do okay with parties and clubbing, but I usually prefer talking with a few people at a quiet place with relaxing music. I am interested in listening to people's thoughts and perspective, which parties are the worst place to do ;)

Self Growth:
I like learning new stuff and becoming my better self. That's one of the reasons I participate in CouchSurfing.
Nevertheless, I sometimes become lazy and procrastinative, but who wouldn't?
