In this episode, we chat with Kevin Tarpey, an American expat living in rural Shimane Prefecture, Japan. Kevin spends a great deal of his time looking at Japan through a different lens than most. He walks and hikes all over his region. Last year he even completed the 88 Temple Pilgrimage across the Island of Shikoku all on foot. Kevin is an insightful and reflective walker who also shares his explorations in a local Japanese newspaper. You can see some of the amazing nature and historical sites Kevin comes across on his walks on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegreenhoof/
