He spends half of the year in the field, mainly in the mountains, and loves the Northern Alps, Shiretoko in Hokkaido, and the subtropical jungles of the Nansei Islands. I started wearing glasses when I was in the third year of junior high school, and now I use both glasses and contact lenses depending on the situation. His books include “Basic Techniques for Climbing in a Tent” (Yama-to-Keikoku-sha) and co-authored “How to Play in Uninhabited Land” (Graphic-sha).

Disseminating the appeal of UL hiking and long-distance hiking through various media and events. He has also traveled on many trails both domestically and internationally, including the John Muir Trail and the Michinoku Shiokaze Trail. I have been unable to part with my glasses since I was in the third grade of elementary school. I don’t like contact lenses, so I always wear glasses even outdoors.

Explore the charms of local hiking, where you can explore the history and culture of low mountains and sacred peaks across Japan, and get in touch with nature and human life. Through his writings, photographs, lectures, etc., he conveys the scenes of not only peak-hunting in the mountains, but also “walking trips that tickle intellectual curiosity.” Appeared on mountain programs such as NHK Radio Late Night Flight “Travel Master – Aim for the Low Mountains!” and NHK BS “Nippon 100 Famous Mountains.” His publications include the “Low Mountain Travel” (Futami Shobo) series. Every day, when I am working on a manuscript, I take off my contact lenses and rely on Varilux.

After returning to Japan, he worked part-time at ski resorts and mountain huts, contributed to mountain magazines, and then became an illustrator. Published many comic essays on mountain climbing for beginners. Her debut book, “When in doubt, go to the mountains!” (Heibonsha) supported the mountain girl boom at the time, and her latest book, “Let’s start with the mountains you know! A day trip for adults” (Kodansha), gently pushes the backs of middle-aged people of her generation who want to start mountain climbing. My eyesight is good, but I have astigmatism. Presbyopia, of course. I don’t like bright lights, so I wear sunglasses and photochromic glasses wherever I go. I also have glaucoma, so I take good care of my eyes. ■Participation application summary • Participant capacity: 40 people (in case there are many applications, lottery will be held) • Participation fee:Free (catering and novelty included) • Participation application
