Yuichi

Co-host in Nikko, Japan

I was a host in Imaichi, Nikko City, for several years while guiding Toshogu Shrine.I stopped hosting due to changes in my circumstances, but I still connect with travelers a little as a co-host.I hope that the real-world information I've experienced as a host will help those who want to become hosts in the future.

I speak English and Japanese.

Guest messaging
You'll be able to accommodate messages up to the day before.Due to my work, I may not be able to respond right away, so I ask the host on that day.
