extended information
in p>1939, in sanchun town, Tamura prefecture, Fukushima prefecture, Japan, Junko Tanabe came into this world as the fifth child in her family.
JunkoS was sickly since childhood, but a mountaineering activity she took part in at the age of ten changed the little girl's fate forever. The steep mountain roads, the steam from hot springs, and the chilly hilltops even in summer all surprised her. She realized that there were so many things in the world that she had never met before, and it was so interesting to experience these unknowns personally. She decided to explore the world.
Mountaineering has become the love of this weak girl. It has nothing to do with competition, winning or losing, but is full of enthusiasm and love. After graduating from high school, Junko Tanabe entered Showa Women's University in Tokyo to study English literature.
In Fukushima at that time, few girls entered high school, let alone university, but Junko Tanabe was an exception. From a small town, she once felt deeply inferior and lonely in bustling Tokyo because of her Fukushima accent. Fortunately, she made a friend who can climb mountains together on campus. They often go hiking together.
In p>1969, Junko Tanabe founded the "Ladies Mountaineering Club". In the 197s, any club in Japan that wanted to go to the Himalayas had to be a registered member of the Japan Mountaineering Association (JMA) and be recommended by the association. JunkoS, who dreamed of climbing the Himalayas, soon applied to the Association.
But contrary to expectations, the first application of "Ladies Mountaineering Club" was rejected, and the women's club wanted to climb the Himalayas. Is this a joke? Many people cast ridicule and doubt on Tanabe's "Ladies Mountaineering Club". However, JunkoS didn't give up. In 197, the club's application for exploration was finally approved.
