In the summer of the 4th year of Science University, his teacher advised him to join the Japan Self-Defense Forces and said, "You look like a soldier.

In various missions, there were often disagreements with the Ground Staff on the development and command relations of the special operations group, but there was no compromise on the strength of the unit.

After retiring, he became the director of the Meiji Jingu Shiseikan in October 2009, and worked to enhance the youth nature school and martial arts courses to learn Japanese spiritual culture.

In November 2018, the "International Symbiotic Creation Association, Kumano Asuka Musubi No Sato" was established in Asuka-cho, Kumano city, Mie Prefecture, and started activities in the UNESCO Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range.

As a concrete activity for that purpose, in order to form regional cultural communities around the world that eliminate the influence of money as much as possible and to build a network that connects with each other, the "International Symbiotic Creation Association" was established with the base in Kumano.

[7] also, he made many claims about the Russo-Ukrainian War, especially to justify the Russia's Invasion of Ukraine - such as "a current situation about Ukraine is a conspiracy orchestrated by United States and UK to make Russian forces reluctantly joined the war, just like what they did to Japan (今般のウクライナ情勢は、かつて日本がはめられたのと同じやり方でロシアを戦争に引きずり込もうという英米の策略だ。)"[8] He's also accused of far right-wing views of wanting to turn the JSDF into an actual military.

[7] On January 23, 2021, Kyodo News revealed that Araya has offered various forms of unsanctioned private military combat training courses to active duty or reserve JSDF personnel for several years.
