Ski Guide
At the age of 21, I moved to Canada and wholeheartedly took up skiing. Inspired by North American ski culture and local skiers, I was also interested in skiing in the mountains. After I completed the Yamnuska Mountain Semester, I returned to Japan and joined the mountaineering club to learn more about mountaineering.
I became independent and began a professional guiding career in January 2020.
Aside from my guiding business, I still continue to go to the mountains with the goal of embodying Mr. Tsugita's words: "From the summit inaccessible to skiers, descending paths unfit for climbers."
My guiding philosophy is 【 More mountains in your life 】

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
