Hi! I work for system support and public information in JAPANICAN. I have 2 daughters. My favorite one is international wine, especially Italian introduced by Chris.
My hobbies are traveling and welcoming people from all over the world at home, as host family. With them and my children, I stroll in nice Tokyo areas such as Tsukiji, Asakusa and Shinjuku. Wakayama -near Kyoto- and Hiroshima are my hometowns, full of nature and culture. If you have a family like I do and you have difficulties to travel with small children, I can give you good family travel tips especially for Wakayama and Hiroshima!
