Mountain Biking: Nagoya
When you think of big Japanese cities I doubt that mountain biking comes to mind. But if you know where to look even in the major urban sprawls you’ll be able to find potential trails.

Hiking: Kumano Kodo and Owase Hiking Trail・熊野古道

Photography & Hiking: Hassoyama ・八曽山
Inuyama (犬山市) is famous for its castle and Meiji Mura theme park but the real gem of this small city on the Aichi and Gifu border is the easily accessible network of hiking trails hidden away near Lake Iruka (入鹿池). Recently I’ve been trying to hike and/or cycle there a couple of times a month. […]
