I have a rich overseas experience, and am so friendly that it can be mistaken for locals in any country I visit. Why don't you come and spend some fun time with me, a local? I have had the opportunity to travel to 60 countries and have lived in England, Mexico and Italy. However, I believe that the Miura Peninsula, where I was born and raised, is the most attractive place in the world, surrounded by the sea, rich in nature, with the Miura Alps in the middle, scenic and warm, with both sea and mountain food to be enjoyed. In particular, Yokosuka was visited by many foreigners, who brought with them various cultures and technologies such as iron and steel making and shipbuilding, and marked the start of a new era in Japan. Please feel with all your senses how various foreign cultures and histories have had a great influence on Japan and how Japan has developed. Please fully enjoy the charms of Miura Peninsula, which can be visited in just over an hour from Tokyo, walking with me.
