TOKYO: Shoji Morimoto has what some would see as a dream job: He gets paid to do pretty much nothing.

The 38-year-old Tokyo resident charges ¥10,000 yen an hour (should be per booking. CNA has not corrected this) to accompany clients and simply exist as a companion.

"Basically, I rent myself out. My job is to be wherever my clients want me to be and to do nothing in particular," Morimoto told Reuters, adding that he had handled about 4,000 sessions in the past four years.

......

His job has taken him to a park with a person who wanted to play on a see-saw. He has also beamed and waved through a train window at a complete stranger who wanted a send-off.
