Shuraf Ishida is 33 years old now. He comes from Japan. These days, he is popular in his country. Let’s read about his story.

    Ishida was once shy, but that changed when he visited Taiwan, China, as a university student. He loved meeting new people and trying delicious food there. He wanted to travel more. After graduating, he worked to save money for traveling. Seven years ago, he left his job and started traveling. He sold most of his things, and traveled with a backpack. Although his money is running out, he doesn’t want to work again. He saves a lot by not paying for hotels. He stands in crowded places with a sign that says, “____△____” Most of the time, someone lets him stay.

    Shuraf Ishida has stayed in more than 500 homes in five years. Some people on the Internet are against Ishida. But those who let him stay think it’s worth it. He listens to their stories and accompanies them.
