The shortcut we took to get to our friend’s house, the place where we hung out with friends during breaks for alpine ski lesson, tree runs we found to get home fast after alpine skiing practice. Shigakogen is the place where we were born and raised as well as a playground where we learned nature. Through this tour, we want to pass on the knowledge and values that we have naturally acquired and learned since childhood.
