About me

Born in Sapporo in 1988. After being as a backpacker, rickshaw man, and high school teacher (English), I moved to Okushiri Island in 2018. In 2021, I became a “Hokkaido governor-certified outdoor guide,” guiding more than 500 people a year to the sea and forests. As the island’s only nature guide, my mission and purpose in life is to connect people with nature and people in Okushiri Island, and to show them the charms of the island.

Why a trip to my region is worthwhile

・SUP/Kayak touring in Okushiri Blue, which boasts 25-meter　transparency.
・Hiking tour in the beech forest that covers 80% of the island.
・Round-the-island tour to visit “”museums and restaurants”” to learn about the island’s history and culture.
