I'm 24year, a student pilot✈️
I'm in an aviation school to get certification of commercial pilot. My future dream is becoming an International pilot and go anywhere around the world by my maneuvering☺️

And, I'm also traveller. Not only the literally, but also inside-traveller, I think. To mature myself, I try to get involve in new things, unfamiliar things, and make myself adulthood.

I was born in Tokyo, grown up in Tokyo, So I can tell almost everything about Tokyo and suburb of there. Especially I have interested in gardens and old buildings, so you can ask me Tokyo's city history, and good place to feel atmosphere of real TOKYO. Additionally, I learned English literature in a university and familiar with cultural difference between western world and here, so you can ask me! It'd also welcome to tell and take you around somewhere, If you have interested in modern Japanese culture; Anime, Music, Shibuya-culture. EVERYTHING is welcome if you have wish to go, know, learned, experience. I try to make you feel happy and assist you can get good experience in Japan.

And, it's also welcome to just ask me some question about Japan's information. You can ask me about not only Tokyo, but also countryside, other cities. I'll give you tips to visit there; good Onsen, Japanese cuisine, tourist place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started CS when I was 20years, originally for improving my English skills and making friends with foreigners. And the days were passed, when I was 24years old, I could get time to travel abroad.
Then, I started to use this app as literally "couch surfing." I travel 5 countries in Europe and Arab, spend days with CS hosts, had good time with nice & kind hosts. I had great experience, I've never had before.
Now, the reason of using this app is for get new friends in Japan, as well. as searching hosts when I travel abroad. In my situation, it's bit difficult to make long-span traveling. I'm in Aviation school to become pilot, so need much money & time to study. However, I can learn many things through having relation with CS surfers. That's wonderful experience. That's why I've continue used CS.
Therefore, feel free to text me if you are in Tokyo, Japan, If I'm in Tokyo, we'd meet at anywhere and make cultural exchange!!
