JR (Japan Rail) organizes regular walking or hiking tours around Japan; the walks are free, and feature a little badge that you get to wear, and a stamp card that gets stamped upon your completion of the walk. What does JR get out of it? Well, the walk starts at one JR station and then finishes at a different JR station, so you've got to take the train to get to the start point.
On Saturday, Brian and I joined two of our friends and co-workers on a walk in our own local area; it was a 12km stroll and we got the chance to explore and take photos of parts of Susono we don't always see.

I really like the idea of these organized hiking/walking tours. It would be a lot of fun. It is always fun to take the camera along :)
