A Journey through the Japanese Alps
It was a beautiful October with autumn colors. My father dropped me off in a place I don’t remember anymore. He gave me a map in Japanese hieroglyphs and said: “I will pick you up after four days at Kurobe Dam.” So, I started a journey traversing part of the Japanese Alps. It was a nice ridge hike just above the tree line at 3000m, finishing in a beautiful valley with hot springs.
