My name is Wes and I have been living and hiking in Japan for the last 23 years. I was the first American to climb the Hyakumeizan (日本百名山) and the only foreigner to have climbed the Kansai Hyakumeizan (関西百名山), the Kinki Hyakumeizan (近畿百名山), and the highest mountain in each of Japan's 47 prefectures (各都道府県の最高峰).
I try to upload at least once a month, usually on Wednesdays. If you like what you see, feel free to subscribe and consider buying me a coffee (ko-fi.com/hikinginjapan) as I don't make any money from this channel (any money from ads on my videos go straight to Google and not me).
