Keidai towers majestically.<\/p>\n<p>Every time I see Mt. Asahidake and Mt. Keidaidake, which exude a mysterious and overwhelming power, the spirit of the late Professor Minoru Yoneda comes back to life.<\/p>\n<p>The late Mr. Yoneda Shigeru was once a teacher at Hekisui Elementary School in Hokuryu Town, where he taught children how to ski and participated in the national cross-country skiing championships every year.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he was a &quot;super iron man&quot; that Hokuryu Town was proud of, having traveled to the Arctic and Antarctic, as well as the Chinese desert and Lake Baikal in winter.<\/p>\n<p>Early in the morning, Professor Yoneda headed towards Mount Asahi to the east and Mount Keidai to the west, taking a deep breath and saying, &quot;Oh, I can see them! I&#039;m going to have a great day today!&quot;<\/p>\n<p>He always proudly told us about the splendor of the mountains that he could see from his home, Mt. Asahi and Mt. Keidai.<\/p>\n<p>The presence of the majestic towering mountains, Mt. Keidai and Mt. Asahi, is a moment when you can feel the great energy of Professor Yoneda&#039;s words, &quot;Be energetic today too!!!&quot;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pw\/AP1GczPQdJXR0oIorJeK89kvW5hkqgmWWkj4K2Y7G9RDTxeotEms2VvWFOKYVZNez96zlkj9j4XAwiuu4nhj3p8Mu0iRlZfI0u4n2lXcCK7Vs9fq4YvkbIM760w34hMefb4kygjjUNcN6ExMPcFGQV1X45bt=w2000-h1500-s-no-gm?authuser=0\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pw\/AP1GczPQdJXR0oIorJeK89kvW5hkqgmWWkj4K2Y7G9RDTxeotEms2VvWFOKYVZNez96zlkj9j4XAwiuu4nhj3p8Mu0iRlZfI0u4n2lXcCK7Vs9fq4YvkbIM760w34hMefb4kygjjUNcN6ExMPcFGQV1X45bt=w2000-h1500-s-no-gm?authuser=1\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Mount Asahi (Daisetsuzan mountain range) rising in the eastern sky\" class=\"size-full\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mount Asahi (Daisetsuzan mountain range) rising in the eastern sky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.google.com\/share\/AF1QipMsfCXEGzPxk-PmQBUwjzgEAPOSUVWMhTRaTD9scGS6k3I4NLQCT3fXaIqu0Qb0cw\/photo\/AF1QipMxH6HNTrMPYtmQAH_xRVh6y29Xeo0kme4bpKQ?key=VG81aW1pWkFvSngzRzF0S0RDYTlJT1BMVThWNzF3\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pw\/AP1GczM7_TTLJqdxYNXDtK3OHP2ocN9x7qeOxD35u_33BNdGh_Kx4CgQ7ECR2tmZ4DgLAABpczCCDFffk0oI5aQRLxc4r0aIq_RMOt2OYPz76IPRFNGaBjRCYG-Gpzq03U-u76L_fFPDQ1JfRE5pWjfAWjaS=w2000-h1500-s-no-gm?authuser=0\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Mount Keidai towers majestically into the western sky\" class=\"size-full\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mount Keidai towers majestically into the western sky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"youtube\"><iframe title=\"The majestic Mt.
