Daichi and his Shiba on a wooden boardwalk through moorland

About me

I live in Nagano and walk a trail most weekends with Mugi, a red sesame Shiba who is five years old and has strong opinions about hills. We started on a flat boardwalk across a moor, and I have been writing down every hike since.

I film the lessons on the trail with a phone on a small tripod. They are the things I check before every hike, in the order I check them. If I am not sure about something that touches Mugi’s health, I ask my vet before I post about it.
