| Category | Nature & Activities, Tradition & History (Walking, hiking, and visiting historic sites along the Nakasendo(中山道).) |
| Point | MY ORIGINS & PHILOSOPHY I was born and raised in Gifu Prefecture, near the historic post towns of Magome and Tsumago along the Nakasendo. Growing up in this culturally rich region gave me a deep and personal connection to the spirit of old Japan and its timeless heritage. I design refined and private journeys across central Japan — including the Nakasendo, Takayama, and the surrounding regions. From an early age, I was surrounded by local stories, traditions, and craftsmanship passed down through my family and community, allowing me to share an authentic perspective beyond guidebooks. I am nationally licensed guide GIFU EN00154. |
