Lives at one end of the 80-kilometer Shin\u2019etsu Trail, from which he heads out into the hills on skis, mountain bikes, and paddles an SUP. He\u2019s also an avid angler using tenkara, Japan\u2019s reel-less fly rod.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2011, I hiked all 80 kilometers of the Shin\u2019etsu Trail, slowly and over five days. The buna forests are absolutely beautiful\u2014so much so that I moved from Tokyo to make my home at the foot of the trail in 2012.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe highest point on the Trail is Mt. Madarao, at 1,376 meters, and there isn\u2019t a lot of up and down. It\u2019s a great way to see how the people here have always relied on the mountains for their living. In the past, people made charcoal from the trees, picked wild mushrooms and vegetables and hinted game here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d encourage every visitor to come hike at least a part of the Trail. The walk is great, but I\u2019d also suggest stopping at minshuku, the family-run small hotels of the region, where they can enjoy the delicious rice and vegetables made possible by the snow and water it creates. And it\u2019s not just in summer: hiking the trail on light skis or snowshoes will reward you with fantastic sights and a great experience. And you\u2019ll really understand the warm-heartedness of the people of Snow Country!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shinya Moriyama Freelance writer, contributing to a number of outdoor magazines.
