Hi! I'm Harry. I was born in Osaka, graduated from university in Tokyo and have lived in Kyoto these 9 years. I am favorite for playing music instruments such as flute, piano, guitar, rowing boat, enjoy watching European football & US baseball games. I have lived in Singapore local apartment for three years, stayed long term business trip in Indonesia, China and traveled overseas countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, UK, Germany, Switzerland, Czech Rep, Turkey, Azerbaijan and USA. In my stay I have got much help from foreign friends when I have got a temperature, lost my wallet, lost my way etc. I'd like to return my favors for all foreign friends. Every holiday we go to temples and shrines, includes enjoying tasty Japanese food restaurants.

There are similar looking houses along the street this house is located and they are all private houses. If you further walk into the area, you will hear the weaver's sound making kimono. The main road Nishioji is just 5 minutes walk away where you can find restaurants, convenience shops with ATM with English instruction, post office etc. The valley residents' spirit is collaboratively preserving beautiful Kyoto Kimono's historical townscape, support and cheers for Japanese major athletic events like Japan High school Marathon Race along Nishioji Street etc. and annual ancestors welcome events in August continuing from ancient times called "Gozan no Okuribi". From this townhouse you can easily access to famous spots in North West side of Kyoto City. You can walk to Kinkakuji, Hirano-jinjya, Kitano-Tenmangu etc. The local city bus will be probably the best to get around, however if you would like to walk, you can cover the famous Golden Pavillion called Kinkakuji temple, Hirano-jinjya shrine. They have strong passion to inherit Kyoto original religious culture and spirits from ancestors and old Kyoto's way continued from generation to generation.
