He has traveled to about 60 countries around the world, lived in Canada, then went down the Yukon River on a homemade raft and spent about 100 days camping in the forests of Alaska. After that, he attempted overseas mountain climbing such as Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn, and moved to Shiretoko in 2019.

"ALKU" means "beginning" in Finnish and "walk" in Japanese. "Beginning" always starts with a new step. This name contains the feeling of taking a step towards a new challenge and the desire to cherish our connection with nature (walking on the earth).

I will guide you through the unique climate of Shiretoko, using what I felt and learned there, as well as the experiences I have had in the various fields I have walked in so far. Traveling is a great opportunity to get to know your true self! Nature can sometimes teach you more important things than textbooks. Let's walk together through the fascinating forests of Shiretoko!
