I am interested in the mountains and Japanes culture and have read many books and watched many documentaries in this area. I have also travelled once to Osaka and surrounding areas. I am a very personable and easy going guy who loves to learn about different cultures. I am looking to make friends and learn about there local area and culture. I love hiking, trail running, skiing, trad/sport climbing and anything outdoors. Look forward to making some international friends. My daughter also loves Japanese culture and is currently studying Japanese at home.
