Shikoku

- A new challenge starting at age 40 - Vol.4: The world I saw while working in Naoshima - Where English and art intersect

The days I spent working at the Benesse House Museum in Naoshima. The experience of speaking in English with visitors from all over the world and being captivated by contemporary art. What was the new determination that led me to "work overseas"?

There have been no bear-related injuries in Shikoku. - As of 2025, safe mountain climbing with zero injuries -

Are there bears on Mt. Tsurugi? Based on my own experience climbing Mt. Tsurugi, I've compiled information on the habitat of Asiatic black bears in Shikoku, the condition of the hiking trails, and points to know before climbing. Please use this as a reference to visit Mt. Tsurugi with peace of mind
