Know and get to know nature. It is desirable for the trail to be a natural path for that reason.
The home of trail culture is North America. The United States is the most popular.
However, it may be a bit too brute force to bring American trails with different laws and systems into Japan.
We consider the origin of Japan's nature, and we are thinking of making trails in a way that is as close to the American system as legally and systematically possible.
Among them, one that I would like to set as a model is the Appalachian Trail, one of the three long trails in the United States.
This trail, which not only has a presence as a nature trail but also its history and culture, is the best fit for Japan.
The Kura Kingdom Park, which we are currently considering, was also interacting with the culture on the sea side and the culture on the mountain side through the pass. In addition, Satoyama can be said to be a proof that the Japanese, whose land area is small, has kept a good distance from nature.
We would like to seek trail making in a way that has passed down this history and culture.
Also, the Appalachian Trail is the aspect of culture that must be most referenced. I think we have to think about the fact that the culture has been established, such as the interaction between hikers and locals, and the development of trails by volunteers.
I think that a trail is the first to be established when these two are linked, making routes and connecting people.
Trails connect roads, connect regions and connect people.
We aim to build a Japanese trail system with the goal of connecting Japan with one trail.
