In Hokkaido, activities like canoeing, cycling, mountain climbing, fishing, sea of clouds viewing, trekking, diving, and camping have often been listed by location rather than by the nature of the experience itself.<br \/>However, as nature, culture, and historical experiences become central to tourism, we believe that guides who convey the emotional impact and excitement born from encounters with local nature and warm-hearted people are the key to deeply sharing the charm of each region.<br \/>With this in mind, we have launched a special feature titled \u201cHokkaido Nature &amp; Cultural Experiences,\u201d based on the voices of guides active throughout Hokkaido, to introduce the appeal of regional experiences in a more concrete and comprehensive way.<br \/>For this feature, we are honored to have Gen Terayama, a thru-guide from Shiretoko, who we connected with through the opening of the Hokkaido Long Trail on October 5, 2024, serving as an advisor.<br \/>Under Mr. Terayama\u2019s guidance, we will continue to fine-tune the content of this feature. With the motto \u201cSharing human emotion with others,\u201d we aim to promote the appeal of immersive, communication-based regional tourism.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span

(8,201m, the sixth highest mountain in the world) in the Himalayas and skied down from the peak. As the first Japanese to achieve this feat, was it driven by a spirit of adventure?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b>GEN<\/b><\/span><br \/><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">During my time as a student at Hokkaido University, I enjoyed mountain skiing and climbing. Later, I changed careers and joined a travel agency specializing in destinations like Nepal and Bhutan, feeling fortunate to turn my passion into a profession. By chance, I had the opportunity to join an expedition to the Himalayas. I brought skis along thinking I might as well give skiing a try, but I wasn\u2019t aiming to be the first Japanese person to do so, nor do I consider myself an adventurer. Luckily, I reached the summit and skied down from the top, but skiing at 8000 meters was grueling and not enjoyable at all. I somehow made it down safely, and it turned out I was the first Japanese person to do so\u2014just by coincidence.<\/span><\/p><p><b><span style=\"color: #000080;\">TAKA<\/span><br \/><\/b><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">What inspired Mr. Terayama to start guiding in Shiretoko?<\/span><\/p><p><b><span style=\"color: #008000;\">GEN<\/span><br \/><\/b>I\u2019m originally from Niigata Prefecture, but it all started when I asked my father as a child, \u201cWhere is the most nature-rich place in Japan?\u201d and he told me, \u201cShiretoko.\u201d I also had relatives living in Shari Town, so I visited Utoro when I was in elementary school. Later, during my university years at Hokkaido University, I visited Shiretoko many times with friends. After working at a travel agency, a turning point came when I turned 40. Shiretoko was designated a World Natural Heritage site, and around the same time, the Shiretoko Foundation was established and began recruiting. I applied and moved there with my family.<\/p><p><b><span style=\"color: #000080;\">TAKA<\/span><br \/><\/b><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">What does Shiretoko mean to you, Mr. Terayama?<\/span><\/p><p><b><span style=\"color: #008000;\">GEN<\/span><br \/><\/b><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">It feels like my backyard. I can enjoy it all year round. Nature here is both harsh and gentle\u2014if you face it without pushing too hard, it becomes a very comfortable place. <br \/>I especially love trekking to Cape Shiretoko.
