Lives in Kameoka, Japan
Hi! I am Christian from Italy, after a life in Florence, my hometown, and after 10 years working in the tourism business with my wife,Tsuzumi,and our kids, we decided to move into Kameoka. Our dream is to show the beauty of the traditional Japan, the slowlife in the countryside, discover hidden gem out of the beaten path. So we bought an old traditional japanese house and reformed it to create Bishamon House a place where, we wish, you will discover a different side of Japan with us. See you soon! Ciao! さようなら!!!!
