Ogawayama, which lies on the border between Yamanashi and Nagano, is
Japans most popular climbing area. It is also the place to go for those
who are looking to get off the grid and spend some time in nature. It
was exactly these two passions, for climbing, and the outdoors, that
attracted Setsumasa Kobayashi (outdoor clothing and gear designer) to
this setting, and inspired him to create a secretive mountain getaway where he could use and test his outdoor-themed goods.
