We recently walked the length of the Daisetsuzan Range. Here's how we planned and prepared for walking the 8-day Daisetsuzan Grand Traverse in Japan's northern-most island of Hokkaido - with food and kit-lists! https://t.co/qDxiJ6dPzr
Daisetsuzan Grand Traverse Day 1 Blog Post - A rather subdued, misty, but satisfying start to the eight-day trip, via marshes, gusty bush-whacks, and inspiring ridges. Amazing diversity in vegetation in this day alone. https://t.co/UAGhlCGWnJ #daisetsuzangrandtraverse
CANOE ROUTE | Tobetsu River (当別川) flows through a forgotten forested wonderland just one hour's drive north of Sapporo City. Expect gorgeous bed-rock riverbeds, white-tailed eagles, native deer, and plenty of fish. https://t.co/mZsMokTiMH

MAP CORRECTION | A small but important correction to the Iwanai-dake (岩内岳) PDF topomap we posted 2 days ago - @rob_thomson mistakenly indicated an old trailhead. Thx to Phil on Instagram for pointing this out - great to get feedback. https://t.co/asTSOpnwrw
@CoreyJWallace@Noahpinion@lymanstoneky This reminds me of the pen choice study that shows conformity in Japan is not 'cultural', but more of a strategy. Primer on that here: https://t.co/N6wFROtdyx
@Noahpinion@CoreyJWallace@lymanstoneky Also only just saw this...not sure what the background to this is, but I'd say if we're comparing central tendencies on any one particular variable (i.e. proneness to shame) then we're likely to see more in Japan than, say, the US (from colleagues: https://t.co/AU3Ic9AQfl).
