Tokyo Hikeographer

Memoirs of some of the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains (日本百名山 Nihon Hyaku-meizan) and a few other hikes in Japan. Photography plays a big part in my hiking adventures, and I rate each hike based on the things I find pleasing — gob-smacking big landscapes, pristine environments, the general beauty of nature and the overall atmosphere of each place. The 100 Famous Mountains hikes are numbered in the order that I do them.
