Welcome to my online diary. A collection of stories about travel, food, old and new adventures, random thoughts and all things I feel like writing about.
I started hiking around 2015 but I never really thought of investing in proper hiking gear until last year. I just use the stuff and wear the clothes that I already have at home or bought the cheapest stuff and did not consider the quality of the things I was buying. Last summer, I got…
I’m gonna be honest with you. As much as I love hiking and being in nature, it terrifies me to my very core to go hiking by myself. I’m scared of snakes, wild animals.. and spirits. Yes, I’m talking about ghosts and stuff like that. It stopped me from going hiking by myself for the…
Last weekend, me and my friends went on a roadtrip to Ginzan Onsen, Yamagata Prefecture. It’s my first time going to Yamagata and I was so excited to go to Ginzan Onsen because I’m crazy for onsen like that. I hate crowds though and every time I travel, I try to go to the less…
Last year, when we went on an overnight hike to Karamatsu, there was a female hiker who fell down and hit her head on her descend. It was near the hut so the staffs at the Karamatsu-dake Chojo-sanso are the ones who called emergency services to request for helicopter transport. Do you know how much…
I’ve been to Hokkaido during the summer a few years ago but I’ve always wanted to experience their famous Snow Festival. Due to Covid19, this festival was canceled for a few years and this year (FEB 2024) is the first time that the biggest festival was coming back so I thought it was the perfect…
I think Tsukuba just became my newest favorite city in Kanto region. They got parks, museums, adventure spots, onsen and hiking areas.. so many things to do there. We passed by a road full of Gingko trees and the foliage leaves were so beautiful! For this trip we decided to hike Mt. Tsukuba, one of…
Jump to Hike Log HERE. Alright Demon Slayer fans… You definitely know this mountain we hiked last week because it’s where Tanjiro Kamado and his family used to live. If you’ve seen the first episode of Kimetsu no Yaiba, you know which mountain I’m talking about. Episode 1 and this anime already got me crying…
Nikko / 日光 / ニッコウ is known for its natural beauty, World Heritage Sites, and relaxing atmosphere. While most people would go to Lake Chuzenji, Toshogu Shrine, Rinnoji Temple, and the Shinkyo Bridge or Kegon Falls.. Me and my crazy friends decided to climb Mt. Nikko-Shirane / 日光白根山 / ニッコウシラネ which is located on the border…
Beginner route optional HERE. Back in Aug 22, 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, I wanted to get back to doing outdoor stuff and attempted to hike Mt. Karamatsu. I haven’t been working out during this time and I gained about 10kg since I hiked Mt. Fuji 2 years prior. It was too hard…
I love hiking. I also love onsen. If you ask me which one I love more? I don’t think I’ll have an answer. So, if you’re like me who wants the best of both worlds, you should definitely check out Mt. Mitake-Mt. Hinode-TsuruTsuru Onsen route. Sep. 22, 2024 / 9:00 – Meet up at Mitake…
I recently went on a waterfalls meditation/ sound healing retreat for my birthday. It was a very interesting experience for me because it’s my first time doing waterfalls medication and second time doing sound healing meditation. I saw a reel from Yamatrips Japan about waterfalls meditation at Seizan-so right about the time I was looking…

I never thought I would like winter hiking in this lifetime because I always liked sunny weather and warm temperature. But after hiking in Autumn, (which was so cold when we were at the summit of Nikko-Shirane), I’ve become more open to hiking in the cold now and this hike to Unryu Keikoku / 雲竜渓谷…
Mt. Oyama (1,252m) is very popular to locals because of Oyama-Afuri-jinja Shrine. The shrine has a history that’s said to go back more than 2,200 years, and it’s been a popular pilgrimage spot since the mid-18th century during the Edo period (1603–1868) There are multiple trailheads to choose from and you have a lot of…
