CANOA
Matsuzawa Naoki
- Central Hokkaido
- Canoeing
I first encountered canoeing at the age of 17. Since then, I have been walking the path of Canadian canoes for over 20 years. In 2010, I moved to Lake Shikotsu, where my current base of operations is located, and have been “creating a story that can only be told here” with three pillars: environmental conservation, tourism promotion, and regional revitalization. In the future, I aim to further develop Lake Shikotsu, while also using my experience in this area to help revitalize other regions.
