This is a country page describing my hiking adventures in Japan. As of May 2025, I have completed over 20 hiking trips in Japan, with over 60 hikes including 50 of the Hyakumeizan and all the Five Highest Mountains of Japan, as well as all of the highest peaks of the four main islands (Hokkaido – Asahi-dake; Honshu – Mt. Fuji; Shikoku – Mt. Ishizuchi; Kyushu – Mt. Kuju).
