I am a native to Hakodate,  having lived since 2003 after working in Tokyo for about 20 years.  Starting studying English before 30 years old, my English skills took me to be a translator, then a tutor of English and finally a tour guide.  I have worked as a tour guide since 2014.  The job is good opportunities to deepen the understanding of my hometown.  I like the night view of the town watching from the top of Mt.Hakodate.  The cherry blossoms blooming in Goryokaku Fort in early May are amaing.  There are Western-style buildings and churches built more than 100 years ago. I am really proud of my hometown and so glad to introduce the town to foreign visitors.  I look forward to meeting new people and share my hometown.
