Welcome to Japan Tanken!

We are a hiking duo who live in Japan. After a not so great hike up Mt. Fuji, we thought it would be great to start documenting and sharing our experiences out on the trails. We currently have plans to hike at least once a month, and also hiking different prefectures when we can! Our current goal is to hike Mt. Fuji once more in 2025 after having completed 11 or more hikes around the country.

Come and join us, check out our social media pages, and find out about some of the trails and tribulations we’ve come across! 😉
