Message:

I am definitely absorbed in Kayaking in summer. From spring to autumn, I wander from river to river to find swollen rivers. Although I like thrilling water activities at swollen rivers, however I also enjoy rafting at leisurely pace at limpid streams.

My favorite summer activity is fishing! It’s relaxing to spend my time doing some fishing at secret location. In winter, I spend most of time on snowboarding at mountain. This winter, I will try Powder Ski!

I am a guy, love Hokkaido. I was grown up in Tokyo and spent 6 years at University and Graduate Collage in Abashiri, Hokkaido. The experiences in Abashiri affected me a lot in many ways.
I wanted to pursue what I really want to do as I only get one life. This is how I came to work at TAC.
Although I have just started my career here, I am trying to become a guide with good knowledge and skills.

I love to do Kayaking and Insect Collecting in summer, and Skiing and Snowboarding in winter.
It’s been only 5 years since I started Kayaking. To brush up my Kayak skills, I go to lots of places to see rivers and meet experienced guides.
In winter, I spent a whole day on winter sports with my friend and go to onsen (hot springs) after skiing or snowboarding. This is how I enjoy in winter season.
