Hello.
I am working in a chemical company living in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture. I will do my best to prepare in advance, and I hope to be a friendly guide that everyone will enjoy.

Although I am originally from Osaka, I am fascinated by Fukushima's abundant nature such as mountains, rivers, and lakes, its history and culture unique to Tohoku, and its warm-hearted people. I would be very happy if I could share the charm of Fukushima with you all.
I look forward to traveling with you!

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.
