南極昭和基地での越冬を5回しました。初回は海保時代に飛行機の整備士として、2回目と5回目は発電機担当、3回目と4回目は環境保全担当でした。2回目以降は自営（電気工事）の仕事を中断して行きました、昭和基地は第二の故郷みたいな感覚です。
I wintered at Showa Station in Antarctica five times. My first time was as an airplane mechanic when I was in the Japan Coast Guard, my second and fifth stints were in charge of generators, and my third and fourth stints were in charge of environmental conservation. After the second time, I stopped working as a self-employed electrical worker, and the Showa Base feels like my second home.
