**FULLY BOOKED!** **" AWESOME. PICTURESQUE. INSPIRING. OVER-WHELMING!"** *"Trekking beside the riverbanks in Japan Alpine region, I was overwhelmed by the sheer beauty and awe-inspiring scene that stood before me. The grandeur and splendour of these majestic mountains reflected on crystal-clear lakes and rivers is truly awe-inspiring! To me, no words will ever be able to truly describe the serenity and natural beauty of this place. Having experienced the peace and tranquility of paradise, I just had to share this place with you .. my very own TLC members."* David Lim - TLC Founder / Organizer \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* **TRIP HIGHLIGHTS:** **KAMIKOCHI** Known to the locals as Japan's most spectacular Alpine mountain sceneries, this region is only open from late April until early Oct and shuts down during winter. The scenic trekking trails on the lower region is roughly 15 km along a plateau beside crystal-clear waters on the Azusa River Valley, about 1500 meters above sea level. It is surrounded by breath-taking snow-capped mountains, including the *Nishihotakadake (2909 m), Okuhotakadake (3190 m), Maehotakadake (3090 m)* peaks and the active volcano *Yakedake (2455 m)* all offering spectacular views and challenges to mountain hikers. As part of the **Chubu Sangaku National Park**, this region has only been moderately developed with a few lodges and bridges preserving it's natural beauty. All private transport are banned here, and access to this alpine trail is quite a daunting challenge as it only possible by local public bus (http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2015.html) (need to change 3 different buses) or by approved taxi (very costly). The serenity and beauty that awaits you however far outweighs the effort taken to get there. **TAKAYAMA** \- Ancient Old World Charm Located in the heart of the Japanese Alps, **TAKAYAMA** is best known for its inhabitants' expertise in carpentry. It is believed carpenters from Takayama worked on the Imperial Palace in Kyoto and on many of the temples in Kyoto and Nara. The town and its culture, as they exist today, took shape at the end of the 16th century, when the Kanamori clan built Takayama Castle. About a hundred years later the city came under the rule of the Tokugawa Shogunate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokugawa_shogunate). However, the high altitude and separation from other areas of Japan kept the area fairly isolated, allowing Takayama to develop and preserve its own charm and culture over a 300-year period. A hike or cycling around the village exploring its charms will bring you back to the Samurai era. **SHIRAKAWA-GO** This is a mountain village located at the highest peak on **Mount Haku** in the Ryōhaku Mountains, where it borders Ishikawa prefecture. Declared a UNESCO world heritage site in 1995, they are famous for their traditional gassho-zukuri farmhouses, some of which are more than 250 years old. **Gassho-zukuri** means "constructed like hands in prayer", as the farmhouses' steep thatched roofs resemble the hands of Buddhist monks pressed together in prayer. The architectural style developed over many generations and is designed to withstand the large amounts of heavy snow that falls in the region during winter. The roofs, made without nails, provided a large attic space used for cultivating silkworms. **KUROBE-ALPINE SCENIC ROUTE** with its amazing **20m Snow-Wall.** Experience hiking along 20 Metre high snow-wall and stunning vistas and unique landscapes as you travel over, above, and even under the majestic Mt. Tateyama. Stop off to enjoy a stroll through flower filled meadows or steaming volcanic valleys. The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine (pronounced “Alpen”) Route is known as the **“Roof of Japan”**. The route passes through the dynamic scenery of **Mt. Tateyama** in the Japan Alps. **KUROBE DAM** It is traversed using a variety of vehicles eg. Ropeway, Cable-car, Trolley Bus etc. with an elevation change of 2400 meters from Toyama Prefecture to Nagano Prefecture. Tateyama is home to many rare species of plant. It takes many years for these plants to grow and bloom. **TOYAMA** Nestled between the dramatic peaks of the Japanese Alps and the shimmering waters of Toyama Bay, Toyama is a breathtaking blend of nature, culture and culinary delight. Famous for it's picturesque castle, the spectacular Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route and its snow walls, this coastal gem also tempts with some of Japan’s freshest seafood. Stroll along the tranquil Kansui Park at sunset and feel the calm. Toyama is serene, authentic and beautifully untouched—an unforgettable escape from Japan’s usual tourist trail. **"ON-SEN"** \- Soak in Japanese Hot Springs Hot springs have a very long history in Japan, and they are an intimate part of Japanese culture. There are over 3,000 “onsen” – or hot springs – in Japan, many which can be found at the ryokans listed at Japanese Guest Houses. At many ryokans, there will be large indoor onsen for both men and women. Or they may often have several pools with wall-length windows where you can look out over a garden, river, or another natural setting. The interior may be lined with natural rocks and decorated with various kinds of tropical plants. **TOKYO/ NAGANO/ TOYAMA/ TAKAYAMA STREET-FOOD ADVENTURES!** Tokyo, Japan’s bustling capital, mixes the ultra modern and the traditional, from neon-lit skyscrapers and anime shops to cherry trees and temples. The city is famed for its nightlife in **Shinjuku**, vibrant food scene, and its **Shibuya** and **Harajuku** districts are the heart of its trendy teen fashion scene. Here ... anything goes and as adventurers, we're ready to check it out! :) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Yes, the **Japan Northern Alps** is a region of awesome beauty, charm, history and great food! With award-winning UNESCO World Heritage sites, this vast area is still largely unexplored by tourists, especially it's spectacular alpine scenery. Having led several groups there to this breathtaking region, I invite you to join me in this awesome experience - trekking through snow-capped mountains, hiking along beautiful streams and rivers, staying in a capsule hotel, soaking in a mineral rich onsen, walking through 20 metre snow-walls, trying out Japanese delicacies etc and more. This special self-designed adventure that brings you to explore the Northern Alp's history and beauty spiced with different experiences is not your usual tour package offered by normal tour agencies. We will be on an adventure taking various modes of transport eg. the bullet train, cable car, trolley bus, ropeway, tram etc to access some of the remote parts of the Northern Alps inaccessible to private vehicles. You will have a chance to stay in different types of accommodation eg. at a capsule hotel, ryokan, spa hotels, samurai villages etc. subject to availability. A certain level of basic fitness eg. ability to hike at least 15 km; having a spirit of adventure to explore new places and willingness to look after and care for each other as a Team is a must. If you think you fit the above description, please register your interest by RSVPing and making the deposit transfer asap. A pre-trip briefing on how and what you need to prepare for this once in a lifetime adventure will be conducted once the group is formed. *** **Event Details:** **9 Days Japan Northern Alps Adventure** Cost : **$1995 Only!** (\*For First 12 pax to do the Deposit Transfer). *\*For Deposit received after 31 Mar, pls add $200 as Hotel New Price kicks in.

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.

Yes, you can show up without registering! We close registration typically 1-2 days before the workshop to give the vouchers and materials to the presenters. However, you are always welcome to just show up and fill out a short form to request a voucher at the workshop. If eligible, we will send one to you within 1-2 business days after the workshop. **Voucher note**: Classes are free for everyone but vouchers are for residents of Franklin county or participating community (list here: https://www.communitybackyards.org/participate) 2026 Participating Vendors: City Folk's Farm Shop, Fisher's Gardens, Leaves for Wildlife, Scioto Gardens, Hoover Gardens & Gift Center, and the FSWCD/SWACO Compost Bin Sale. *when redeeming your voucher at a vendor, Please bring a physical copy of your voucher to receive an immediate discount on your purchase. Additionally, to keep up with number of vouchers that are given out, we have changed the expiration date on the vouchers to 30 days

Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM). Some schedule other shifts at their convenience. You may try this out with less fuss by following a "Fast track" or go through the normal process.

The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) provides housing and meals for families with sick children. The Columbus RMH is the largest in the world with 137 rooms. COUNT has been volunteering there since May 2014. Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk. RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.
