debut as an English tour guide - Yokoso Japan

On March 15th 2024, I debuted as a professional English speaking tour guide for travelers who visit Japan.
Tour guests on that day were a class reunion group from Hong Kong.
There were a lot of things to learn from that experience, and from the nice people.
Of course, my performance is still far from satisfactory level, I got out of my comfort zone of fitness, and tried the new challenge.
I'd like to brush up my skills as a translator & guide more and more.

I would like to thank all the people I worked with on that day.

Two day belated Mother's Day - May 16th 2023

May 14th was Mother's Day, however my mother passed away on April 7th this year, therefore I wasn't able to send any present to my mother this year.
The photos are beautiful flowers my friend in Tokyo sent to his mother on Mother's Day. These lovely flowers and the sweet story uplifted my mood. I appreciate kindness of the friend. I hope his mother's health and wellness.

5月14日は母の日でしたが、今年4月に母が逝去したため、今年の母の日は何もプレゼントを送ることができませんでした。
写真は東京の親友が母の日にお母様に贈った美しい花です。
お母様は「部屋の雰囲気が明るくなった」と、とても喜んでいるそうです。
この心温まる話を友人から聞いて、僕自身の気持ちも明るくなりました。
友人の暖かい心に感謝。
友人のお母様がいつまでも健康でありますように !

One month from my mother's departure - May 7th 2023

One month has passed since my mother's departure on April 7th 2023.
Thanks to support from my relatives and precious friends, I'm recovering from grief and regaining forward looking mindset gradually.
I'll treasure my physique which is a gift & legacy from my parents.
Gratitude,

2023年4月7日に母が他界してから1ヵ月経過しました。
親戚や友人達や同僚など多くの人達の助けと励ましのおかげで、少しづつですが前向きな気持ちを取り戻しつつあります。
皆さん、ありがとうございます。
今後ともよろしくお願い致します。

Departure of my mother - 母の旅立ち

My mother - Terue Endo - finished her 88 years of life on April 7th 2023.
In her younger days, she was working as a home economics teacher in a private middle school (mainly she was teaching sewing).

Probably, being an instructor is my mother's legacy.
I would like to further pursue the path of health science and its psychological aspect.
I really appreciate that my mother gave birth to me.
She is always in my mind.

私の母・遠藤照江は2023年4月7日(金)に88年の生涯に幕を閉じました。
母は若い頃は、私立の女子高の中等部で家庭科(主に裁縫)の講師をしていました。

僕がフィットネスの指導員と英語の講師をしているのも、母の教員の血なのかもしれません。今後も健康科学および関連する心理的側面を更に学んでいきたいと思います。

僕を産んで育ててくれた母に感謝。
母はいつでも僕の心の中にいます。

皆さん、今後ともよろしくお願い申し上げます。

Diary July 13th 2020

My exercise class at a social welfare facility operated by the city restarted today since March 2020. This class was temporarily suspended for four months as a precaution for COVID 19.
I had a good time with the class participants.

Diary April 5th 2020 - Completion of language tutoring to German people

The job of Japanese language tutoring to German people which started in January 2019 finished last week because my clients complete their work term in Japan at the end of this month and they will go back to Germany. For me, this job was not only language tutoring, but also this was a good opportunity for intercultural communication. I hope health, safety, and happiness of the clients.

2019年の1月より開始した日本に在住しているドイツ人への日本語レッスンの仕事、先週で完了しました。当初、3名の生徒さんで開始し、うち1名は仕事での出張等が多く、レッスンを続けるのが時間的に難しくなったため途中で中断。この数ヶ月は2名の生徒さんで続けて来ましたが、両名ともこの4月で日本での勤務を終えてドイツに帰国することになったため、これにてレッスン完了となりました。

ドイツの方々と接するのは初めての経験でしたが、1年3ヶ月、一緒に勉強させていただき、ドイツの人達がどんな考え方、国民性なのか、多少なりとも知る良い機会でした。コロナウイルス騒動の中、帰国するのも大変なことだと思いますが、無事に故郷へ帰国できるよう願っています。
