About Junko Tabei

Junko Tabei (Junko Ishibashi) (1939-2016) was a Japanese mountaineer, an author, and a teacher, who in 1975 became the first woman to climb Mount Everest and the first woman to ascend the Seven Summits, climbing the highest peak on every continent. She was born as the fifth daughter among 7 children and was considered a frail child in her early days. Despite this, she began climbing the mountain at the age of 10, during a class trip to Mount Nasu. When she was in university, Junko formed the Joshi-Tohan mountaineering club, becoming a role model to those who wanted to follow in her footsteps. Until she passed away, Junko continued climbing and inspiring others.
