HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you come to visit Nagoya, I can take you to
Nagoya castle, Tokugawa museum, Atsuta shrine, Shiratori garden, Osu, Sakae, etc if the date is OK for both of us. Just give ma a message!
(I want to be a English speaking local guide someday. I am a volunteer guide for Japanese visitors now! I need to practice to take tourists to sightseeing spots in and around Nagoya. I appriciate you help me with English.)

To English speakers
If you live in Aichi (or near prefecture) for several months and feel like to visit following places, give me a message too! These area is a good for one day trip from NAGOYA. We can visit there togather! In return, please help me in English.

4.Ichinokura Tajimi Gifu(Weekdays only because most of porcelain is not open during weekend. I would like to show the porcelain and their shops. I think this place is hard to visit by yourself if you are foreigners because there not many English tranlation around the area. It is rural. )
