I can answer questions dealing with transportation (mainly railroads and subways) in the Tokyo Metropolitan area. Questions such as access to/from both Haneda or Narita Airport, how to purchase tickets, train costs, and general questions about how to use and ride trains in Tokyo. | |

General questions regarding tourism (shopping, hotels, sightseeing, food, etc) and life in Japan as an expat/exchange student (visa, cell phones, transportation, etc). I know Tokyo very well, but I'm also familiar with Kyoto, Nara, and Fukuoka. I can help with etiquette, manners, and social situations. I'm also fairly well versed in the Japanese healthcare system (from my experience as a patient). | |

I`m always willing to give help, or at least my opinions on things related to Japan. I think I`m especially strong at helping out non-native Japanese speakers with the language. Also, helping others understand the culture, such as U.S. businessmen who have to do business with Japanese. I`m not doing translations right now, unless it`s just a phrase or a word. More of a language and general Japanese culture guy than a travel/history expert. |
