About me
新潟県・越後湯沢にてスキーに親しみながら幼少期を過ごし、日本やカナダ・バンフの山岳リゾートでの滞在経験を通じて自然環境の中での過ごし方やその楽しみ方に関心を抱くようになる。留学経験やテクノロジー分野への興味を背景に、地方でのテクノロジー活用の模索や海外と日本の雪国・地域社会をつなぐ活動を行う。リゾート地に不可欠な宿泊事業や雪深い中山間地域の現場にも関わる中で、地域の課題に向き合い、雪を軸とした人々の暮らしと社会・経済の関係性について探究を深めている。
Having spent his childhood skiing in Echigo-Yuzawa, Niigata Prefecture, he developed a deep familiarity with snow from an early age.
Through extended stays in mountain resort regions in Japan and Banff, Canada, he cultivated a growing interest in how people live within natural environments and how such environments are experienced and enjoyed. With a background that includes study abroad and a strong interest in technology, he has explored the use of technology in regional contexts and engaged in initiatives that connect snowy regions and local communities in Japan with those overseas. Through hands-on involvement in the accommodation industry essential to resort areas, as well as on-site work in snow-heavy mountainous regions, he confronts local challenges directly and continues to deepen his inquiry into the relationships between snow-centered ways of life and broader social and economic systems.
