I’m Tamaki Kasuya and the author of this blog.
Japan has a lot of beautiful scenery of the nature and wilderness. Especially, mountains. I often go to hiking with my friends. Walking on the ridge, spending the night at the lodge, Cooking a lunch in the forest. Everything is awesome and amazing.
I wanted to record my hiking and share these stories. So I started this blog and I’m going to write not only my record, but how to hike in Japan.
If you have an interest about a hiking and Japan. Please give me a comment. Thank you.

I decided to do the challenge that is the climbing “100 Famous Japanese Mountains”. Almost 50 years ago, the author Kyuya Fukada (深田久弥) published the book “100 Famous Japanese Mountains (日本百名山)”. In this book, there were 100 great mountains that he loved and it became the dreams for hikers.
On my blog, I wrote about this book and mountains. I will use it as an index of my hiking story when I climb these 100 mountains.
If you are going to climb the mountains of Japan. Please read my articles before set out. As you know, the different language has been always causing the problem in other countries. Especially, almost Japanese people can’t use English. However, I can. So I decided to write about the cultures of mountains in Japan.
These years, the number of foreign people who visit to Japan is getting increasing. Of course it includes the hikers. Therefore the number of trouble is increasing too. Not only miscommunications, but also a deadly accident happens such need rescue on a mountain.
I don’t want you to face sad situation. I just want you to feel and enjoy Japanese beautiful nature. Then I want you to share this amazing experience with your family and friends. This is the reason for me to write this article. I’m going to write the accurate information as can as possible.
