Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to be part of this video.
I’m not sure if I was able to contribute much, but I got to see how wonderful the people at your company are, and it was a truly great experience for me!

Incredibly well researched. A fantastic introduction to hiking in Japan. Glad to see I made a brief cameo in the Food chapter.

While researching the AT i got equally obsessed with hiking in japan!
What i learned is that besides a surprising hiking culture they also have a knack for DIY Gear. I want to go badly.

Interesting video, I thru-hiked the Tokai nature trail last year and loved it, but it was very different from hiking in Australia. Finetrack and Soto also make great quality Japanese hiking gear. I found it hard to find pre-made hiking food but super easy to put together meals from single serve and dried supermarket items in Japan.

Their hiking trail is possibliy cleanest and hiker will always help to pick up trash. They also have toilets everywhere even very deep in the mountains.
My favorite is karasawa and mt oyama kobo

Japanese outdoor brand that is popular in the US: Soto
Windmaster stove very popular
