description: 😌 In the mountains of Hokkaido, Goro Obata traded city rules for freedom. “If I just drift, in no time I’ll be an old man. I want to build a fun lifestyle. I could really see myself getting old quickly. So—even if I might get in trouble sometimes—I think sticking to my lifestyle is better for living a richer life.”
