Shojiro Teshigawara

Junior Guide

I grew up in the countryside of Gunma Prefecture in Japan, and I was curious from a young age, so I often played in nature. As an extension of that, I studied the natural environment in high school and marine biology in university. 

During university, I worked to earn money and learned the joy of traveling, and my life changed. Since then, I have traveled around the world and Japan, and have now visited more than 30 countries and all of Japan's prefectures. I also have fond memories of hitchhiking across the Japanese archipelago.

After graduating from university, I worked at a major domestic outdoor specialty store and enjoyed outdoor activities as much as I could, but when the COVID-19 pandemic ended, I quit my job and started traveling the world again. I look forward to meeting all of you in Yukon.
