Two trail-related events will be held in September in Yamagata City, Tohoku, the hometown of Masafumi Saito, who Outdoor Gearzine also supports. Unlike the still-hot Kanto region, Tohoku is comfortable and easy to walk in at this time of year, even in the low mountains. If the weather is good, it's sure to be a perfect day for hiking. The leaves will start to change color early, but that may be difficult this year
If you live nearby or happen to be in Tohoku, why not give it a try?
