[It's been a while since I've had an offline event] A group where professional hiker Saito Masashi chats about the Taiwan Trail, Yamagata Long Trail, and more - Our Favorite Hikes Vol. 01 -

Sorry for keeping you waiting. We're holding a real event for the first time in a while!

Saito Masashi's Taiwan Trail Event, Yamagata Long Trail report. Ask any other hiking professionals about anything else

The start of a new season. This season is the time when hikers start to get busy wondering where to go and where to walk.

This is a chat party called a talk live where Outdoor Gearzine readers and Saito Masashi, a senior hiking, triple crowner, professional hiker, and representative of the Yamagata Long Trail Club, all talk casually about this feeling. I hope that it will be a peaceful meeting, just like the evening after dinner at my favorite mountain hut.

We hope to hear from Mr. Saito about the trail event in Taiwan, the Yamagata Long Trail he is currently working on, and about his recent favorite tools, and provide various advice from participants and talk about what's going on in the future. After that, there will be some important announcements from Mr. Saito and me, so if you are patronizing this site, please come and visit us!

The event will be served with light meals, alcohol and soft drinks (you can bring them on the day). We also offer souvenirs from Outdoor Gearzine.

Saito Masashi Profile

Since 2012, he has been active as the only professional hiker in Japan. In order to promote trail culture, he walks overseas trails and contributes mainly to outdoor media, while also creating trail courses in his hometown of Yamagata. We were particular about thru-hiking (a way to walk the route in one year), and we were able to exceed 22,000 km (more than half the globe) on the trails we thru-hiked. He also works in the general outdoor activities, and is also a lecturer on camping, crafting, slacklines, and trail meals. Currently, as a life's work, I am currently working on the Yamagata Long Trail (YLT), which creates a trail in my hometown of Yamagata, and this year I am currently developing the Shirataka Hill Trail, which even beginners can easily take on. If you are interested in other projects, please check out this page for more details. →Go to YLT Club homepage
