Ogawa Yuji, who gained guiding experience in the U.S., tries to show visitors the best scenery of all four seasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The Infinite Clear Sky and Blue Lake Water:
the Deciding Factors in His Relocation to Toya<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Born in Niigata Prefecture, Ogawa moved to Toyako Town after honing his guiding skills in Japan and elsewhere upon graduation from university in the Colorado mountains. The deciding factors in his relocation were Toya\u2019s endless crystal-clear blue skies and blue lake waters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ogawa values travel needs assessments and uses them to provide a personalized and memorable travel experience that meets each traveler\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
