Bio
I started going into the mountains because I wanted to snowboard on a variety of slopes. I have experienced the charms of various mountains throughout the four seasons and have been blessed to meet friends who enjoy the field, and I am now working as a mountain guide.

Guide Q&A
Q: What is your most memorable experience in nature?
The most impressive thing I have done recently is to develop new rock ridge routes. I made a route called "Dry river rock peak traverse" with my friends on Ogawayama. I was anxious and excited to find a line on a rocky mountain with no route and to connect one route to another. The feeling of anxiety and excitement of "What is going to happen next?” was thrilling.
Q: What does nature represent to you?
I started enjoying the mountains because I wanted to snowboard on slopes other than ski slopes, and from there I was blessed to meet many people in many different places. I would like to continue my activities in the future, being grateful for the opportunity to be in nature.
Q: What has nature taught you?
We continue to learn the importance of carefully observing nature and deciding our own actions. For example, when skiing on a snow-covered mountain, will there be an avalanche? How do you deal with such uncertain risks while enjoying the mountain? I am always thinking about this question.
Q: What do you hope that people will get out of experiences with you as a guide?
We want to help you find your own way to enjoy the mountains. The sense of accomplishment of summiting a difficult route, the feeling and exhilaration of powder skiing, the tension of a steep rock ridge, the sense of oneness with water and the mountain when climbing a stream, lunch in a beautiful setting, sweets and hot springs after a day on the mountain… We offer tours suited to each season, and we hope you will discover new ways to enjoy them.
