PROFILE

I am from Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Born and raised by the sea, I like to spend time on the weekends enjoying outdoor activities like beach soccer and camping. I’ve been backpacking since I was in school, and I have visited 30 countries across 5 continents. The most fun trip I’ve been on lately was renting a mobile camper and travelling across America. I also backpack across Japan!

Gender: Male
Age: in my 20’s
Birth place: Kanagawa prefecture
Favorite food: Local specialties, raw shirasu. The meal I had overseas that left me with the greatest impression was a Turkish mackerel sandwich!
Food I hate: None (if I had to choose, “injera,” a staple food I had in Ethiopia)
Hobbies/Likes: Outdoor activities like camping and barbecuing, listening to music at summer festivals, traveling (domestic and international)
What I’m good at: Beach soccer, outdoor cooking
What I’m not good at: Arithmetic
Where in Japan I recommend the most and why to travelers in Japan.: Hokkaido. There’s delicious food all over (seafood, meat, vegetables... everything is delicious). I especially recommend visiting Doto. It has different sorts of charms than the rest of Japan, like the Kushiro Marshlands and the Abashiri drift ice.
Favorite memory from traveling in Japan.: Seeing the “Miroku Bosatsu” statue at Koryu-ji in Kyoto. It was one of the nation’s first designated national treasures, and I was drawn in by the statue’s limber body and archaic smile.
Must do activity for visitors to Japan.: Try comparing different types of Japanese sake! In particular, sake from Niigata, a rice-producing region, is exceptional.
