Photo Contest Held to Share the Appeal of the "JAPAN TRAIL" Walking Across the Japanese Archipelago
Are you familiar with the "JAPAN TRAIL," a long-trail concept spanning approximately 10,000 kilometers that traverses the Japanese archipelago from Okinawa Prefecture to Hokkaido? To share the appeal of this magnificent route with as many people as possible, submissions are currently being accepted for the "JAPAN TRAIL Photo Contest 2026."
This contest aims to share photos of the beautiful nature found throughout Japan and the scenery that can only be seen by walking. They are looking for works that express the charm of the JAPAN TRAIL, such as the diverse landscapes of the Japanese archipelago and images of people walking the trail.
Submitted photos are scheduled to be used for public relations activities to increase awareness of the JAPAN TRAIL in the future. Since anyone can participate, whether professional or amateur, this is a great opportunity for those who enjoy hiking or photography to share the splendor of Japan's nature through their own work.
Details such as the application period and how to enter can be found on the official website. Why not capture the wonderful scenery from all over Japan in a photo and participate in this grand project?
