We recently ran across an interesting link from Glen’s 10-day trip to Japan in 2010.  Glen was invited to Japan by Evernew and Hiker Depot to give a talk on ultralight backpacking, and to participate in a multi-day backpacking trip. He hiked in the Chichibu Wilderness with a group of twelve.  Glen still remembers the Japan trip fondly, in spite of bringing home a near-permanent scab on his head from banging into low-clearance doorways.
