Hiking and Trekking in the Japan Alps and Mount Fuji - Northern, Central and Southern Alps (Broché)

Tom Fay is the lead author of Hiking and Trekking in the Japan Alps and Mount Fuji. He is a British writer and teacher based in Osaka, and has been living in Japan for well over a decade. Growing up in the hills of North Wales, the mountains of Snowdonia were his first outdoor 'love', and he still returns there year after year. He has since hiked and climbed in many places including Scotland, Iceland, the Himalayas, China, South Korea, New Zealand and throughout every corner of Japan.
Tom writes mainly about travel and the outdoors for a variety of publications and media outlets, and is the author of a travel guidebook called Must-See Japan. He is a member of the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild. Check out Tom's website — www.thomasfay.com — for more information. Wes Lang has been endlessly exploring Japan's mountains since relocating to the country in 2001. In 2008 he became the first American (and one of only a handful of foreigners) to climb the Nihon Hyakumeizan, Japan's '100 Famous Mountains'.
He has since gone on to complete the Kansai Hyakumeizan (100 mountains of the Kansai region) and is currently climbing the highest mountain in each of Japan's 47 prefectures. He is the founder of 'Hiking in Japan' — https : //japanhike.wordpress.com — a website providing comprehensive hiking information for the Hyakumeizan and beyond. His travels have taken him to the mountains of South Korea, Taiwan, New Zealand and throughout the US.
Wes lives in Osaka with his Japanese wife and young daughter.
