I would like to thank all the mountains I walked in 2019.
There is a poem I’ve left a note from a movie I saw in my early teens. Only recently I’ve come to think about its meaning.
Self-Pity
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
— David Herbert Lawrence
This year I was indebted to a lot for long trips such as the Izu Islands and Hokkaido.
Even if I cut off every trip I seemed to be dreaming and I think that I was certainly taught how to travel a new way from various things.
I thank you for all the encounters at all. See you next year!

My 2017 was the nature. It was a year that various coincidences overlapped, I was fascinated by the mountains and the mountains saved me. Every scenery was so beautiful in the mountains where they seemed to accept anything, and I feel I could have experienced a lot of fresh and interesting feelings.
I didn’t know its charm after all, but now the mountains where I want to walk doesn’t run out, and I just appreciate various encounters.

It’s time to look back and share the places I did and done in 2016 year with the photos I took. This year I visited several places in Japan such as Ibaraki, Saitama, and Kyoto. I especially went to Kyoto twice in a year, and Ibaraki was the first time to me. I hope I can go to places I haven't done yet in 2017.
