Description

I was born and grew up in Tokyo, one of the biggest cities in Japan. The life there was too busy for me and I started working at hotels in the countryside around Japan last year. While traveling and working in rural areas, I have recognized variety of cultures and landscapes of Japan. Since I started my journey, I’ve experienced different cultures, seen beautiful landscapes and met many funny people.
I’m interested in and would like to learn skills to achieve sustainable lifestyle, especially self-building of house is one of my dreams. I’d like to explore the way of living with others, join their beautiful lives and I'll try share Japanese culture as much as I can.
My english is not perfect yet and has to be brushed up, but I don’t think it would occur a serious problem in daily lives. I’m leaning German now and it’ll be great if I have chance to improve language skills.

More details about your skills

My grandfather grew vegetables(tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants and so on) in his small garden and I often helped him with cultivating soil, watering vegetables, and harvesting them. He had made fertilizer by himself, so I have basic idea of doing that.
His garden had a small hut which is also built by him. When repairing this, I experienced some wood work (just measuring the wood, hammering nails etc), which is not even serious construction.
At hotels, I have mainly worked in service section. Cleaning room was also one of my job at hotels, so it'll be no problem for me. I like to cooking and share the meals, which would be nice opportunity of cultural exchange.
