Cartography is the love for art and geometry. My mission is to make Swiss 🇨🇭 cartography known in Japan 🇯🇵 and to create new map series for Japan.

Still available from my Japanese distributor @alice_sha, the award-winning, first bilingual hiking map for Japan in Swiss map style of #Hokkaido's tallest mountain, "ASAHI-DAKE: The Heart of Daisetsuzan National Park". alicesha.co.jp/books/0115/in…
In honour of the host country of #icc2019tokyo, the cover of the "Swiss National Report - Cartography in Switzerland 2015-2019" features a Swiss-Japanese co-production: the map "Asahi-dake - The heart of the Daisetsuzan National Park" 1:25,000 @ICC2019TOKYO @asahidake_2291

900 tents?? Must be terrible to stay there!
今季最高、900張超えのテント村。 きれいです⋯ テント場遭難多発してます⋯ ①テントを張った場所を覚える ②テントと周りの写真を撮る(私たちが探しやすい) ③目印を付ける ④仲間と離れない(離れるなら集合場所を決める) 徹底願います!

Could you open a mountain hut in the Japanese Alps today? Turns out it’s not as simple as finding a nice patch of mountainside and putting up a building. Who owns the land? How did the existing huts get there? What happens when one closes for good? ridgelineimages.com/musings/…

It's multi-day hikes like the Panorama Ginza Traverse that keep me coming back. In fine weather, there's nothing quite like traversing the Jonen Mountains with uninterrupted views across the Azusa Valley to Yarigatake and the magnificent Hotaka Range. ridgelineimages.com/hiking/n…

This is something I encountered in nearly every traditional ryokan where I stayed. It becomes increasingly accurate the more rural the area is.
Amid an increasing number of foreign tourists in Japan, over 70% of accommodations in the country said they are understaffed, according to the government's white paper on tourism released on Friday. 👉 ebx.sh/VTNdRF

Replying to @seiyosakoi3
木原さん、養子が伝統なのですか?明治憲法では禁止されてたんでしょ。娘や孫より養子に家督を譲るのが伝統なんていうお宅があるんですかね。 男女に関わらず国民が敬愛する方が伝統を守りつつ最大限国民に心配りをされる天皇であらせられるのがあらまほしき象徴天皇制なのでは?

Now you know. For just 653,300 yen, you can climb all the Hyakumeizan!😃
日本百名山完登にかかるコスト。 宿泊費は車中泊とテントでほぼゼロ(ゼロとは言ってない)移動は7〜8割が下道走行。HV車で燃費30km/ℓ弱。あとは登山仲間と割り勘したり。有難いことに乗せて頂いたり。 車の本体価格とか維持費とか、登山装備とか、食費を含めず計算するとですね… 宿泊費:80,000円 交通費(入山料等含む):573,300円 ※そのうち、フェリーが139,000円、飛行機が30,000円 計653,300円でした。

Some controversy on JP X re YAMAP, the premier JP hiking app, to ban the upload of out of season climbs on Mt Fuji, despite them being legal with the submission of a climbing plan. Lots of pissed off Japanese users threatening to cancel their subscriptions!
YAMAP「開山期間以外の富士山への登山はできません」 まじで何言ってんの? 登山者用アプリだよね・・・?
