=====================

I generally really enjoy Couchsurfing and love welcoming people who genuinely want to travel, learn about different cultures, and make real connections. I’ve met so many wonderful people through this network.
However, I recently received messages from a few suspicious (like scam-members) so I’ve become a bit more cautious lately — it’s simply for my own safety.

If you’d like to send me a request, please make sure your profile is well filled out, upload a few photos, and try to gather some positive references first. (I may decline requests from users without any references.)
And most importantly, please be sure to read the “My Home” section on my profile before sending your request.

Hi there! I’m Ruriko.
I’d like to make friends all over the world and want to learn a lots!
I hope you come to love Japan. Even though most Japanese people don't speak English lol

My favorite Japanese culture is…
・Convenience stores that are always accessible and safe
・Free and super clean public toilets
・Toilet seats are warm
・Hotel and restaurant service that does not require a tip
・We can usually see a doctor the same day
・No pickpockets
・So many kind of meals
・We don’t feel uncomfortable with silence
・The most customer friendly country in the world
・Most restaurants are welcoming even if you go alone
・You can buy unsweetened tea here
★Most Japanese people believe in the idea that “if you do good things, good things will come back to you; if you do bad things, bad things will come back to you.”
That’s why, when someone finds your wallet or handy, they always take it to the police.
So, if you ever lose something important in Japan, try visiting the nearest police station — there’s a good chance it might have been turned in. (Just don’t expect to find umbrellas or lingerie 😅)

I can hung out with you on weekends.
Please contact me.
Perhaps I’m friendly and super lazy.
And I’m not looking for someone.
Thanks!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’d love to make friends. Isn’t it wonderful to have friends all over the world? If you come to Japan, I’ll be your host, and if I go to your country, I’ll be your guest. That’s so much more fun than just an ordinary trip!
