  Description

  My name is Ray. I am half Japanese half American born and raised in Japan . Living with my little toy poodle, Phoebe. She is still a puppy so really playful.
  I have little disability. I can do everything by myself fine but it takes time. I use a cane outside of my house but not in the house.
  I do glass art during the day in my studio space in my house. I don’t need assistance to do it but you can try out if you want to. I need a helper so I could have more time doing glass.
  I teach English in the evening on weekdays. You are welcome to come to the school and talk to my students. The kids in the pics are some of my students.
  
  I ask my students to take the travelers out somewhere. So far, many of the students have invited the travelers to many different festivals and other events.
  
  I like getting tattoos and one of my best friends is a tattoo artist in Tokyo.
  
  The drawing in the pics is his. I often see him so if you are lucky, maybe you can get a souvenir tattoo from him.

  I have a traditional Japanese room for guests. I have a single bed for the guest but you can sleep on the tatami if you want to. I renovated my house spending two years.
  There is a supermarket and a bus stop in front of my house.
  I also have a gym space above the garage so you can exercise as much as you want.
  I have a bicycle that you can use.
  I don’t smoke.
  
  I can’t accept two people because I can’t afford to feed two people for no reason.
