Fascinated by the beautiful nature & the open-minded people living there, I moved from Kanto Region to Tamura,Fukushima in 1990. Just after the Great East Japan Earthquake,I was forced to stay at an evacuation center and then to live in the temporary house for some years． Being qualified as a Fukushima regional interpreter guide,I’ve had several chances to accompany foreign guests visiting mainly the area on the Pacific Ocean．
Recently, some visitors are enjoying touring around Tamura,Koriyama area in addition to the Seacoast Area．How about visiting the nature & the history the locals have lived with？Sometimes you can talk to the people there,and get to know how they’ve lived since 3.11．I would be happy if you find or feel something after you visit My Local Area‼

I have registered to more than ten translation companies in Tokyo. I have translated various kinds of fields, including nuclear power, building, civil engineering and welding. My house (already demolished) used to be in No-Go Zone. I’m quite familiar with this area, who runs a hotel for visiting people, for example. In addition, I’ve learned lots of English terms for NPP and its decommission. I am the best person to show around townvisiting people from foreign countries.

I worked for the Minamisoma International Association on March 11th 2011. After the earthquake disaster, I confirmed the safety of foreigners living in the city and told the evacuated citizens about the situation of the town through webpage. I also evacuated to Miyagi, but I was able to use the lifeline at my home safely, so I returned home in about one week. I am currently a coastal field partner.
I can take you to Hamadori area.
