Yoshi

Japan, Aichi Prefecture

Hello everyone! My name is Yoshi. I live in Japan with my wife and our three sons.

I work for a company in the construction industry. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities such as bushcraft camping and fishing.

I also love photographing wild birds. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a deep connection with nature, and the outdoors has become an essential part of my life.

Q&A with Yoshi

Where are the best places to visit in Japan for experiencing the outdoors?

I recommend the HY Camp Location in Agi, Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan.

It’s a wonderful place rich in nature, perfect for bushcraft camping. Since discovering this place, my outdoor life has changed dramatically.

What are the three most important tools you bring with you when going outdoors or camping?

A knife, axe and a saw

Have you ever experienced any funny wildlife encounters?

One night, while I was enjoying a solo camping trip deep in the mountains, I suddenly woke up with the strange feeling that an animal was nearby.

As I looked around, I found myself surrounded by a large herd of deer.

Before I had time to react, they vanished the moment they noticed I was awake.

I still remember it as a valuable experience that made me reflect on the relationship between humans and the natural world.

What's your go-to meal when going outdoors for a day/night?

Grilling a hearty steak over the bonfire for dinner, and keeping it simple in the morning with bacon and fried eggs.

My style is to season only with salt and pepper.

What's your outdoor story?

My journey into the outdoors began with fishing, something I have enjoyed since I was a child and continue with this day. It was in the stillness combined with the sound of water that my dialogue with nature first began.

Seventeen years ago, I discovered camping, and later, I learned about bushcraft the art of living in harmony with nature. From that moment, I found myself drawn even deeper into the outdoors. For someone like me, living a busy life amid the hustle and bustle of the city, nature is both a place to return to and a place where my heart finds peace.

Gathering firewood, lighting a fire, and surrendering myself to the warmth of the flames may seem like a simple act, yet it is through this humble experience that I’ve come to realize: perhaps it is the sense of wonder itself that shaped my original connection and love for nature.
