Hi, thank you for finding me! I offer fun tours of Fukushima Prefecture, bested on Iwaki City, which is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean. Iwaki city is sometimes called "the Hawaii in Tohoku. Region".
I love meeting new friends from the world, and always try to enjoy tour together with my own experiences of traveling to over 50 countries.
Let's go on adventures together, and learn together!
Also I operate a traditional old folk farm guesthouse and authentic local Japanese restaurant without additive and MSG, so I can show you them, too.
Please feel free to ask me anything! I hope to see you soon.

Wishing to support you as a casual personal guide interpreter. Starting from a high-school English teacher, I've long worked for a National College of Technology as a professor. Having practiced several traditional martial arts & sports. Interested in world peace, international relations, sustainable development, and grass-roots intercultural communication. Guess my hospitable character from my profile, please.

I would like to give you a handmade guide to meet your needs. I was born and raised in a port town called Yotsukura in Iwaki. My father was a semi-professional sea urchin and abalone diver. I was good at catching clams and mussels from an early age by imitation. I still go swimming in the ocean in the summer.

I started karate when I was in college to introduce Japanese culture to the world, and I have been practicing it for more than 45 years even though I am not very good at it. I still participate in masters, expert, and old men's competitions. I have also acquired the 3rd dan in Judo, which I used to do. I have a judo physique, so I am quite thick and disadvantageous for karate.

In winter, if I have time, I go to Urabandaï to ski alone. I can help those who are interested in karate and skiing on their own trips. I will guide you with hospitality so that you will want to come back to Fukushima again.

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.
