Miya

Hi! I’m Miyako Ogami. Please call me Miya. I was born and raised in Kochi, but I spent most of my life time in Kyoto. I’ve been teaching English to children at home for over 20 years. At the same time, I’ve met many homestay students from abroad as a host family. I enjoyed sharing time with new people and going sightseeing spots in Kyoto. Now I returned to Kochi and started learning a lot about great attractions about my hometown. In my free time, I enjoy running, cooking local food, singing in the chorus and dancing Japanese folk song dance.
In Kochi,I love the warm and mild weather under the sunshine and feel peaceful atmosphere surrounded by beautiful mountains, clear rivers, and the dazzling sea. Kochi’s abundant nature gives us fresh vegetables, fruits, and seafood!
And the people in Kochi is friendly, laid back, funny and energetic which makes you so happy and brisk! I’ll do my best to show you around this amazing land as much as possible!
