Riku Yamamoto山本 陸

HLC Hokuriku ambassador

In his early twenties, a colleague introduced him to the outdoors through trail running, sparking his passion. In 2017, while circumnavigating Japan, he encountered the Yamatomichi team during an HLC tour in Hokkaido, where he was captivated by the ultralight hiking culture and its close-knit community. After completing his journey, he played a key role in the launch of The Gate Mountain. Based in the Fukui and Hokuriku regions, he enjoys hiking and trail running during the warmer seasons, and telemark skiing in the winter.
